There is a Dollar General store at this address now. I wasn’t able to find any photos of the dollar store to determine if it was a conversion of the Martin Twin. Cinematour has the theater as closed, but they don’t update their information on a regular basis.

Here is a February 2005 article about the conversion of the theater into a church:

I never did get the free book, by the way.

I drove by a couple of weeks ago. Nothing was going on, just the usual swap meet confusion, along with a brisk trade in fake drivers' licenses.

Here is the BSFS website, along with a picture of the building. Not a church anymore, unless you think sci-fi is a religion:

My wife took this picture today when she was driving around on Sunset Boulevard. She probably should have rolled down the car window first, but I give her an A for effort.

My old racquet club was across the parking lot from the sixplex. The club was torn down around the time the theater was expanded. I saw Hellboy II at the theater yesterday and took a couple of photos:
