The Solano Drive-In re-opens tonight with a free showing of Shrek 2 and Nacho Libre. It will be opening full time starting tomorrow May 4th with a double feature of Spiderman 3 and Ghost Rider.
I think it’s funny that people think the area is underscreened. I think Santa Clarita is fine, and that perhaps people are just so used to seeing a glut everywhere else.
I doubt that anybody would re-open this theatre. The pictures I took on Cinematour were taken during rush hour and dear LORD was the traffic horrendous. It took me about 45 minutes just to get in and out of the parking lot.
And if I’m not mistaken, this theatre looks like it was built by Cineplex Odeon. Is that correct?
I don’t believe any of the domes were built for Cinerama or D-150. The Century 21 in San Jose was built for 3-Strip Cinerama but it was never installed.
We took some decent pictures of the Bittersweet for Cinematour. You can check them out over there. As far as the Cooper Twin we couldn’t get good pictures of that place, the lobby was way too small to take anything without management freaking out. But it is SUCH a tacky 70’s theatre. It really is a sight to see.
The second screen will be running by May 18th.

I believe the theatre was actually opened in 1948… somewhere I have an ad proclaiming the opening day.
