If you haven’t already, try contacting Metropolitan Theatres. If they’re doing any sort of switch to digital any time soon they may have some old projectors they’d like to get rid of. Also you never know if they have any old projectors in storage from locations that they closed down in the SB area.
The domes at the Cinedome are much smaller than the domes in San Jose. Also according to their website Cinemark still plans on building a theatre in Napa to replace the Cinedome.
I don’t know where the information came from originally. We have it listed at that addres over at Cinematour as well… perhaps a bad listing somewhere back in the day?
The 4th dome was split in half to make the eighth theatre. The domes at these locations were not as big as the free standing ones in San Jose, Sacramento and Pleasant Hill.
Does anybody know if this theatre is standing or if it’s been demolished? Based on the name change of the street metioned on the El Monte’s page, this theatre would have been six blocks west of the El Monte.
Checking through Google Earth addresses it appears that the shopping center this was may have been demolished. Was this theatre on the east or west side of N. Azusa?
This is not being operated by Rennaisance Rialto. Rennaisance operates the Grand Lake and formerly the Park, Orinda and Oaks. Rialto Cinemas is a completely different guy.
The photo Chuck posted on 5/22/09 is NOT the Sundance Kabuki. The Kabuki was originally built by AMC and looks very much like a multiplex.

This was actually an 8-plex when it closed and was called simply Century 8 Oakland. Century 21 & 22 should be an AKA.
The Newpark 20 has been on the books for years.

So was this technically two separate theatres? (ie. separate entrances/lobbies?)
Can anybody explain these theatres in greater detail? Where around the mall were the two complexes?
Google street view shows that this theatre has been demolished.
This location should be marked as demolished.
We’ll be deleting the listing at Cinematour this evening to help end the confusion. :o)
According to CWalczak’s posting for the other 6-screen cinema in Conway:
It closed as of 02-21-10 and will be replaced by a new twelve screen multiplex: View link
The theatre referenced in the article is Cinemark’s Cinema 6 at 291 Highway 65 N. Carmike’s website shows that the Faulkner 6 is still open.

Website should be changed to www.westwinddi.com
According to the google street view the marquee and tower have in fact been removed. The terazzo floor is still visible.
What were some of the TransLux locations that Cinamerica operated?

This was also at one time the Valley 4-5-6.
I’d rather have an aerial vs no photo at all.

Out west we use Vistar/VSA or Sysco. Check them out.
Still on AMCs website.
The original West Mall theatre was located elsewhere in the mall. The current seven screens is an entirely different theatre than the original single.
