Added a large amount of VERY old photos I took back in 2010 and 2011, the last two years of this complex in operation. Apologies for the low quality of the photos as they were all taken with a low-resolution pocket digital camera, but it’s better to have poor quality photos than none at all, I suppose!
May 22nd, 1985 grand opening ad uploaded.
Status should now be closed. Tear.
It certainly was! Saw my last movie there, SHERLOCK HOLMES 2 about a week ago, and the sound and projection are among the best in the city. Cinema #1, with the balcony and huge capacity (between 620-640) made it a really great place to watch a movie. The theater was doing pretty good business but you can’t stop progress, I suppose, as Oakridge mall really wants to update. I took even more photos recently and will be sending those into Cinematour next week.
What a shame. Looks like a great theatre, several photos of it on cinematour.com
Empire Oakridge 3 will be closing on January 2nd, 2012 as the mall is redeveloping. A Crate & Barrel store will be going in its place. Very sad news as the theater certainly has its history.
