This three screener opened inside the Santa Maria Towne Center Mall in 1978 on the upper level near Gottschalk’s Dept Store. United Artists ran this theater for many years showing first-run films. (I saw “Dawn of the Dead” here in May 1979 for the first time—seeing a movie set in a mall and watching it at a theater in a shopping mall.) Ended its life as a discount house operated by Wallace Theaters. The space is soon to become a “family entertainment center” and not a theater.

The address of this theatre was 218 Town Center Mall East.
Occasionally I have a dream about this theatre and it’s very 80’s design. The concession stand was all angles and recesses. Anyone remember the down-sloping exit pathway? The upstairs bathrooms? The back exit? Or the Roundtable Pizza next door?
