Yes, the UA CINEMA at Tyler Mall had the Riverside first-run exclusive of “The Empire Strikes Back.” The film opened there on June 27, 1980 and played through the autumn months.
thanks for the info micheal.
There’s no such thing as the River Freeway. The Riverside Freeway, also known as the 91, transverses Riverside until it turns into the 215 North.
The Tyler Mall is now “The Galleria at Tyler”, the UA Cinema is long gone and there’s now an AMC 16 (opened December 2007) there.
Many movie discussions with my husband include him exclaiming “I saw that at the Tyler Mall!”, or “I saw that at the Showcase!” (Corona’s Showcase Theater, a prominent music venue for maaaany years, now dark and empty).
This theater is magic to me since I saw Empire Strikes Back here.
“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” opened here on February 2, 1979 and played there for almost 4 years. It was considered “THE” Rocky Horror theater for the Inland Empire.
Bill Gartley was the manager of this theater during that time.

If any one has any photos of the theater, please contact me.
I would love to see them.
