This is now an Landmark. It opened as a Mann, which became Colorado Cinema, which was bought out by Kerasotes in 2007, which sold all but three theatres to AMC in 2010. AMC had to sell some theatres in the Kerasotes deal and this one sold to Landmark.

rivest266 commented about Cooper 1-2-3 Cinemas on Aug 17, 2011 at 9:21 am

This opened as Cooper 70 in November 1963 and became Cooper 123 on December 24th, 1970. The grand opening celebration for this cinema was cancelled when President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. Cooper sold it to Commonwealth in 1975. I think it closed in the late 1980’s.

I show that the Chapel Hills Sixplex was opened by Mann in 1982 and an separate 9-screen cinema in the mall opened in 1985 with the older screens renamed Chapel Hills 10-15. Carmike bought out Mann in the region in 1992. If you look at the mall’s directory, you will find the two separate locations.

Chuck 1231 If you got the infomation from my movie-theatre.org website It means about 1975, about 1980 and about 1985. Trying to find more accurate dates. It looks like it opened as a single cinema in the late 1960’s.
