Possibly the first 70mm cinema in the Vancouver area, the Park Royal Twin Cinemas opened January 6, 1966. Screen 1 (760 seats) was twinned in 1980 and the whole complex was converted to 35mm-only projection.

Famous Players closed the Park Royal cinemas in the early 90s, and the theater sat empty for several years, until the second-run Caprice Showcase chain took it over. Caprice went bankrupt in 1999 and for a short period of time the theater was operated by the Park Royal Mall management but it was closed to the public later that year.

The final use of the theaters was as a recording studio and audio-post facility, until the owners decided to tear it down and extend the mall in 2003.
