This theatre opened circa 1984 as Peninsula Cinema 6 on the third floor of the Courtyard Mall. Approximately 1987 it was expanded, by annexing 2-3 adjacent store spaces which added two full sized screens and one smaller screen.
It finally closed in the late-1990’s as the mall fell on harder times and the theatre was eventually demolished. It was replaced by a new Pacific theatres 18 on the same floor of the now outdoor mall in a different location which was formerly Macy’s.

There’s a Pacific 18 in Rolling Hills? That’s news to me! :)
Perhaps the writer is referring to the 13 screen Regal Avenue 13.
I think this is the one you are talking about:

This was the first theatre in the Krikorian chain. Company founder/namesake George Krikorian grew tired of driving a distance, in order to take his family to the movies, and speculated that there was a need for a local cinema; thus, launching Krikorian Premiere Theatres in 1984. The Penninsula 9, along with the rest of Krikorian’s pre stadium chain, was sold to Regal in 1996. The chain was relaunched a few years later, with a series of modern stadium builds.
The Penninsula 6’s first general manager was John Dolmage.
