Located in the centre of Rotterdam. The Scala Theater was the third cinema to operate with that name in the city. It was opened on 12th December 1957 with Charlie Chaplin in “A King in New York”. Seating was provided in the single screen for 1,500.
It was converted into a Cinerama Theater, and opened on 14th July 1960 with “This Is Cinerama”. Following a string of successful 3-strip Cinerama films, the Cinerama Theater was screening 70mm films from 1974.
In recent years it has been converted into a 5-screen cinema, and in 2004, became a 7-screen cinema. It is now known as the Wolff Cinerama, operated by the Wolff Bioscopen chain.

There are some pictures of the theater’s outer lobby here as well as information about theater’s run as a Cinerama house. Apparently, this was the last theater in the world with regular Cinerama showings (final showing 10/25/72) until the Pictureville installation in Bradford, England in June of 1993.
