As of recently since Vintage took over, The “Mann” signage has been removed on both the front and the back, which only left it as “10 Theatres”.

They should have kept “The Twin” as part of it instead of the “original 8”. Then, it would have been more room for other movies.

I’m glad to see the theatre is still open though, it would have been good if they used it for an art-house or something.

The Eagle Rock Plaza Theatre, that was located on the second floor next to Wards (Now Target), was owned and operated by Pacific Theatres since 1973. It became second-run in the fall of 1996, and was closed in September, 1998. An Independent theatre operator took over the theatre around January, 1999 after the theatre was newly remodeled and closed down for about a few months and lasted until November, 2001. I remember seeing a lot of movies there such as “Short Circuit 1 & 2”, “The War of the Roses”, “Good Burger” and many others. They basically played movies on 4 screens whenever the Glendale area isn’t playing there. It was a good theatre that lasted for 28 years. I still missed it from this day.

Joseph Anthony Sobora commented about Campus Theatre on Jun 26, 2009 at 7:11 am

I’ve been to the Campus theatre once back in 2003. I went to see “Spy Kids 3: Game Over” in 3-D. Apparently, while the original exterior of that theatre was torn down and renovated into a small modern look in the late 80s. The original single screen was kept fully intact, but not in very good condition. This theatre has lots of grime between the ceilings and the seats weren’t any good since it was very uncomfortable and had graffiti on some of them. The sound system in the theatre was very poor, mostly in mono. The screen was very small but it was the original screen.The good thing about this theatre is that they show first-run English-language films with Spanish Subtitles with triple features. I still remember that policy trailer from Metroplitan Theatres Corporation. I wish I could find it.
