Harkins Camelview 5 opened in 1973 as a twin cinema on an outparcel of the Camel View Plaza mall. The mall has since merged into Scottsdale Fashion Square. For decades it’s been one of the very few independent venues for limited-release films in the whole state of Arizona.

As of September 2013 Camelview is threatened with demolition as part of Fashion Square expansion. Harkins leases the property and isn’t responsible for the decision. It’ll be replaced with — parking and landscaping.
