Opening by 1931, the UA Inglewood Theatre was first operated by United Artists and by June 1938 by Fox West Coast Theatres.
The United Artists was taken over by the Mitchell Brothers on September 11, 1973 with Marilyn Chambers in “Behind the Green Door” and they operated it as an adult theatre. By the mid-1990’s it screened Spanish language movies and was renamed Fox Cinema II. It was destroyed in a fire in the 1990’s.
