Scott is correct. Blumenfeld had their own ads at one point in the Sf Chronicle and SJ Mercury News. They also owned the 3 Regency theaters in SF, Alhambra and Royal also in SF as well as the Notorious MQ6 in San Jose and the Tiburon Playhouse 3.
Sorry Mike. Sad to say Stonestown Twin no longer exists. The thaeater mentioned above for seat removal is UA Cinema Center 6/Roxy 3rd Street Cinemas 6. It too NO LONGER EXISTS!🥺🥺
1) Larwin Plaza (precursor to Vallejo Plaza was opened the year I was born 1962 (God I’m old! 😁😁😁).It actually had a Sears inside.
2) Larwin (named after the finance company the put up the money) changed its name to Vallejo to distinguish it from the massive Solano Mall (now Town Center) in 1981.
AMC built theater the same year. AM Vallejo Plaza time line 1981-2001. BTW you’re welcome! 😍
During its tenure, Regency added another screen. Please update 6 screens. It is identical to the Regency 6 in San Rafael (still open i might add) and the Festival 6 in Hayward (until it blew up to 9 screens!).
Such is life…So sad. All that’s left is the original Century 21. For how long nobody knows.
Century 22 demolished for a charging station (?)
Century 23 demolished for a parking lot (!)
Century 24 along with Century Almaden are now churches.
Century 25 demolished for more stores in a Dead Man Walking Westgate Mall! Does ANYONE go there? Bueller? Hello? Is this mic on?
ICON Santa Clara and Cinelux Campbell Plaza shojld be making a killing!
The Stevens Creek/Winchester movie theater corridor is NO MORE! 😫😫
The approximate address for this drive in was 3150 Hilltop Dr. Please update. The box 9ffice was located where Social Security is now located on Garrity.
I saw Warhol’s Frankenstein and Dracula, Caligula, Salo and oddly enough Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry W/Shirley MacLaine in her film debut here! The rancid stale popcorn and overstuffed seats bring back disgusting yet weirdly pleasanf memories! PS Salo is THE most gag inducing tripe in film history! Makes Texas chainsaw look like The Rescuers! ☺☺
According to Mick laSalle film critic for SFChronicle, there may be smore lives in this Cat!
There talk around the bay and Berkeley of several options: UC(live venue), Esquire(repurposed IMAX), Mission(revamp via Alamo) or indepepent (think Santa Cruz 9 or Campbell Pruneyard 7). Whatever option they need at least 1 elevator! That balcony is extemely steep! Yikes! 😘😘
Like I reported on the Winnetka D/I entry, Robert is right. Like the drive i, this hardtop will be demolished AGAIN! And like Tanforan in San Bruno, for warehouses and expensive condos! WHAT AN OBSCENE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! 😭😭
The devolution of this location is shock8ng and sad!
1975: Opens with 4 screens (just like Union City, Capitol San Jose, Sacramento, Winchester Campbell, South Bay Carson and Stadium Orange typical Century/Pacific drive ins).
1985: Opens with six screens just like the otbers except Stadium which went 8 screens).
1996: Winnetka D/I demolished for Pacific Winnetka 21 hardtop. Union City and Stadium went the same way in 1998.
2010: Winnetka 21 is reduced to Winnetka 12 closing one wing of the building (think AMC Covina 30 and AMC Deer Valley 30 (AZ) to 17 screens!)
2022: Since Decurion/Pacific gave up during the pandemic, it will now be demolished AGAIN(!!!) for another Amazon Distribution plant! We need this like a toothache!
Where’s the replacemt? NORTHRIDGE 10 AND PORTER RANCN 9 WILL NOT DO! This is what happened in Valencia - 12. Meanwhile Burbank (30), Long Beach (51!), Ontario (66!), Orange (55), Irvine (54) and Glendale (36) are spectacularly 9verscreened!
It’s almost like they don’t care! Demolish this demolish that!
Sorry Scott. Per San Francisco Examiner, KPIX, KGO and Oakland Tribune, THIS THEATRE ALONG WITH THE MALL WILL BE CLOSED FOR GOOD! There’s a reason Cinemark opened new locations in Roseville (Galleria Mall 14) and Merced (Mall of Merced 14)! Cut your losses and move on! That’s what happened with the Empire also.
AMC Entertainment has been VERY schizo since the pandemic i.e. Apple Valley is a dumpster fire, Bay Street is still goinng strong and Kabuki = DISGUSTING!
That said: What has been said previously still holds true…
AMC CLASSIC PALM PROMENADE 14 PLEASE UPDATE ASAP!
Not only is there only 14 screens per San Diego Theatre Reviews AND AMC app and website but IMAX is $12.49 (THAT IS NOT TYPO FOLKS!!!) for 11pm on 3/5/22 for the Batman! Also not a typo! The North Wing is still MIA I’m afraid…Sell outs will happen. It’s no better than Montclair or Sunnyvale (dine in circus atmosphere).
THIS IS WHAG HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE TOO MANY SCREENS! YOU HEAR THAT TORRANCE, ONTARIO AND ORANGE? 55 screens (orange) is too much! Ok rant off ☺☺
Unfortunaly this magnificent multiplex is closing FOR GOOD! 🥺🥺
I just several news report that The Shops At Tanforan were closing permanantly to make way for a biotech campus (WINCHESTER DRICE IN I CAMPBELL I’M LOOKING AT YOU!). Most all of the property except the covered BART station will be demolished! AGAIN! Too bad. 😔
Unfortunately Cinemark has chosen to close Roseville (Eureka Rd/Lead Hill) across from Kaiser to open the newer Galleria Mall futher west with the same amount of screens and more control (it’s in the middle of the mall) SOOOOO no more domes for Sacramento! All that’s left is Century Mountain View (relic) and Cinedome Henderson Nevada (fossil). Too bad! I pass by thd Winchester domes and thd church (Century 24) all the time. What a waste!🥺🥺
Again as I had posted on the Los Altos D/I (Long Beach) page, ths KMart that replaced the drive in is permanantly closed. Not because of bankruptcy unless bankruptcy and COVID19 mean the same thing!
Apparently this type of thing has been going on for years all the country… too bad! 🤣🤣
The address above is incorrect. Tom is correct. The address for this theater is 1180 US-52, Aberdeen, OH 45101. The entrance and exit roads are still being used for the mobile homes. If you look at current aerials, this actually looks like it was a drive in including the turnout road common with older drive in theaters.
FYI Greer Park in Palo Alto is located at
1098 Amarillo Avenue, Palo Alto CA 94303. Thanks!

Unfortunately per Alphabet (google), this one is permanently closed. 😩😩
Correction: The Maya Cinemas that replaced the Crystal is 14 not 16 screens.
Through research I found this several tidbits…
1) Larwin Plaza (precursor to Vallejo Plaza was opened the year I was born 1962 (God I’m old! 😁😁😁).It actually had a Sears inside.
2) Larwin (named after the finance company the put up the money) changed its name to Vallejo to distinguish it from the massive Solano Mall (now Town Center) in 1981.

Brea can’t keep a movie theatef to save its life!
Movies 8 DUST
Mall 4 Bam GONE
Marketplace 8 OBLITERATED
Brea West 10 Started as a furniture store and ended that way see Regency 6 Pleasant Hill for more details
Now the once glorious plaza? When is the blood letting going to cease Brea? When you have none? STOP THE MADNESS! 🤯
