The Eastgate was a three-screen theater located in the Eastgate Shopping Center in Des Moines, Iowa. The actual legal address was 1558 East Euclid Avenue.
According to a Des Moines Register article dated 5/18/1998, Davis Theatres opened it in 1966. As the "Cinemas I & II", it was billed as "Iowa’s only Twin Theatre". Eventually a third theatre was added and it became the "Eastgate Cinemas III".
The building was demolished circa 2005 and it appears that hardly a trace of the theatre can be found on the site – an empty lot behind the Iowa Health Physicians & Clinics Walk-In Urgent Care Clinic – as of June 2009.

The Eastgate I & II was owned by Dubinsky Bros during the 80s and was a second-run theatre. Eastgate III was a separate theatre (located in the same strip mall) which showed adult movies.
