As far as I can find out the Cinema-70 opened as a Cinerama theater in the 1960’s and was still a single screen theater at least till 1971. Sometime after that date it was made into a 3-screen and was open till about 1983.
It was closed and was empty for about 10 years and was torn down in about 1993 to make a parking lot for the gym next door.

Any info anyone??
The October 7, 1968 issue of Boxoffice included a brief write-up about the opening of the Cinema 70, which, presumably, was in September ‘68. Owner was the St. Cloud, Minnesota-based Ross Theatre Circuit. “Oklahoma!” (in 70mm) was the debut attraction.
