Opened in the mid-1990’s as the Super Saver 7, this was a bargain house operated by Silver Cinemas in the Fremont Gateway (formerly Fremont Fashion Center) shopping center. Total seating capacity was for 1,500.
After Silver left, the Naz Cinemas moved here from their Fremont Hub location. It became a premier venue for Indian cinema, but from 2009, it has also programed some first and second run mainstream movies.
Taken over by Phoenix Big Cinemas in 2010, with renovations planned.

The Naz Cinema was located at 37417 Fremont Blvd., Fremont, Ca. 94536
The adress above is for the first Naz Cinema, which is better known as the Center theater. The current adress for the Naz Cinemas is 39160 Paseo Padre Pkwy, Fremont CA 94538.
There was also a single theater called Naz Cinema which was located at 37411 Fremont Boulevard. That theater is now occupied by a church.
Within the last month, they have now started showing some first & second run English language films, partly due to the fact that attendance for the Indian films has dropped considerably and also because Fremont has no other English language house with the Cinedome 8 being shuttered.
The Naz Cinema has gone back to showing Bollywood films exclusively as it has had difficulty booking Hollywood releases. The story is here: http://www.mercurynews.com/movies/ci_13248282
Here is a close-up shot of the Naz 8 Cinemas. Does this cinema have 7 screens or 8?
Seven. I don’t why this odd and confusing renaming phenomenon has been occurring with theaters that show mostly Bollywood films in the South Bay area, but it also happened when the a new owner took over the former Town 3 in San Jose, calling it the IMC6 (Indian Movie Center 6 – which is what the owner’s cinema was called in a previous location) even though the Town only has three screens.
At any rate, the Naz is now closed though scheduled to reopen later in January 2010 under new management with a new and, let us hope, a less confusing, name – according to this article: View link
