jmarellano commented about Pomona Valley Auditorium on Dec 25, 2005 at 7:22 am

I beleive this theatre is still there.

I drove by this block and when in the parking lot of the Washington Mutual building across the street, I noticed what looked like a stage house in the back of the building. From the front, you can tell that its not the original facade, but there is only a set of center doors to enter teh building.

I have looked at it on Google Earth, and you can see something that looks like a stage house and the roof that looks like it could angle where the seats are.

I have uploaded a pic of it here from Google Earth.:

jmarellano commented about Loews and AMC to Sell 10 Theaters on Dec 24, 2005 at 6:35 am

jackeboy –

After the selling of both AMC’s in San Francisco, they will re-enter the market when they take over the Metreon. So keep the cards and points, you will still need them for the Metreon.

I would like to know what lurks upstairs beyond the door next to the concession stand. The original staircase to teh upper lobby is still there, along with what I beleive to be the two doorways into the old lobby. The back of the theatre there is used today as a game room. The old theatre was cut into two and two theatres built into it. Six additional screens were built in the back of the old one. This theatre has stadium seating in all 8 screens, and the two large houses have really good sound.

The hall to the theatres im thinking could have been most likely part of the original auditorium.

jmarellano commented about AMC Fashion Square 4 on Sep 3, 2005 at 3:44 pm

I had made a comment on this, why was it deleted?

Anyhow, this theatre was located in the East End of what used to be the La Habra Fashion Square. When the mall was closed, the entire area except for the outbuildings and the theatre were torn down.

The theatre lived into the new center. After AMC Closed the theatre in 1992, Krikorian Premiere Theatres ran the cinema for a few years, then was sold to Regal Theatres, which bought most of Krikorian’s theatres.

Regal closed the theatre and built the stadium next to it. Today, the parking lot on the side of the Regal is where the old AMC once stood.

jmarellano commented about Mann Closes Valley West? on Aug 28, 2005 at 9:55 am

Dont forget that on the west end of the valley, this theatre had competition from AMC’s Promenade 16, and just north of it there was the Mann Plant 16.

This theatre lasted a long time.

The 5 plex is still open and operated by Pacific as either a move over theatre from their Galleria 16 about a mile away, or art product does open here as well.

This theatre was operated by AMC when GCC was sold to AMC. AMC closed the theatre when they sold the 5-plex to Pacific Theatres.

Tina, show schedules are only made at AMC about a week in advance. You wouldnt know till usually the Thursday before the the weekend.
Also, look at a site that has a list of release dates to give you an idea of what is opening that weekend you will be there.

jmarellano commented about Oriental Theatre on Feb 17, 2005 at 4:51 pm

Also, go to www.terraserver.microsoft.com

Enter 7425 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA

The Oriental would be where the big red canopy over the sidewalk is.

There is another building just two over, would be about 7415 Sunset that looks like it could be a theatre. When visiting, it has something that looks like it could be a stagehouse, but is shorter and a wee bit wider.
