The exterior of the Million Dollar Theatre is shown in a scene from Blade Runner. The marquee. Great film and other Los Angeles sights are in the movie too.

This was one of the most beautiful theatres on the west coast. A tragedy the it was torn down for another parking lot.

What a lovely auditorium. Murals and ceiling especially. The multiplex can’t furnish this. What an historic loss for Long Island.

Philly sounds like Seattle in that most of the elaborate theatres from the past are gone. At least there are 4 or 5 left now in Seattle. Check out the 5th Avenue and Paramount. Wow!

What a waste to tear down a gem like this. Like tearing down the Roman Coliseum.

pnelson commented about Northgate 1 & 2 on Oct 27, 2015 at 6:56 pm

There was another Northgate Theatre in Seattle. Also located at the end of the first mall in the country they say. Art moderne/deco. Large and high end in appearance. Neon accents in the ceiling like circles and a working curtain. Waterfall if I remember. A huge lobby and a huge marquee that stretched across the front of the building. Also deco. Should have been saved. Gone many years now. Mall is more active than ever however. The very booming Seattle you know!

My dad went to this theatre years ago and I think he said he won a prize in a drawing here once. In the depression probably. Still a wonderful building that looks much like it did in the past. Would be nice to see interior pics of the theatre from the past and the present.

Yes some areas have no regard for the history and style of the buildings there. A true waste of a wonderful building.

pnelson commented about Coliseum Theatre, Seattle, WA in 1926 on Oct 24, 2015 at 8:43 pm

I always have wondered if the replacement marquee for the Coliseum is in storage somewhere. Was put up in the early 1950’s I believe. I always thought it a wonderful theatre marquee. Art deco and very dramatic. Almost as nice as the original and went well with the exterior of the beautiful building. Too bad the huge trees hide the building now.

Nice art deco ceiling treatment. Walls could use some work.
