The Victory Theatre is listed in the 1943 edition of Film Daily Weekly with a seating capacity for 350. The 1950 edition of F.D.W. lists a capacity of 500.
In 1983, two extra screens was added on the former parking lot at the rear. The Milwaukie 3 Cinemas also have a Wunderland Video Games room operating on the premises.

This theatre originally openeed sometime in the 40’s as the Victory Theatre as a single screen with a balcony. Couldn’t find when it was triplexed. I believe I saw seating listed at 500, but that could have been before the conversion.
Scroll down to #13 on this page. “The Milwaukie Cinema was built in the 1940s as the Victory Theater. Its address is on Main Street but it fronts on Jefferson Street. It is currently owned and operated by Electric Castles Wunderland.”
LM, I got a oops this link appears to be broken.
Maybe it’s past the links bedtime. Good thing that I copied and pasted the text. There was also a photo of the Milwaukie 3 Cinemas. It appears that this was the Victory Theater.
There is something wrong with that site. Hopefully it’s only temporary. This is a cached version of that site:

I used to work at this theater. The 2 small auditoriums were added in 1983. They are located where the old parking lot used to be. The original name was the Victory. It was changed in the early 70’s to the Cinema V. (V=5). When the 2 new screens were added the name was changed to the Milwaukie Tri-Cinema.
This page of the City of Milwaukie’s web site mentions the Victory Theatre, and says it was built in 1945.
A few June 2011 photos can be seen here, here and here.
