In the overview on this page, it reads: <> Wasn’t the original theatre full demolished, and the 6-plex built on the former site? Or was this somehow actually a “conversion” from single screen to a 6-plex? (It doesn’t appear to be, but I am not from Victoria.)
I was in Victoria this week, and happy to see both the Capitol 6 and the Odeon still open and showing movies. Any update on the development plans for the Capitol 6 site?
Used as the “Felix 3” by slightly altering the signage in season 4 of THE KING OF QUEENS, an episode called “Oxy Moron.” I have a screenshot, but didn’t want to upload, in case it would cause copyright trouble.
Jack and his crew do a great job running this place, and are always friendly and inviting, and Jack truly cares about the picture quality, which is always top notch and, as Ken said, big and BRIGHT. Great stuff! That curved screen in field #1 always looks amazing.
I was just in Pella and went to 832 Main to check it out. This was definitely a theatre, but I think it was a long, long time ago, i.e., maybe in the silent movie era. The upstairs floor is slanted, but I don’t think it was a balcony. Rather, I think the upstairs was where the theatre was, and downstairs was something else.
Hi, Ross & Patrick. Hey, I just was looking over your page on the Cinerama in Seattle, and it still says that Cineplex Odeon converted the building to 2nd run. The theatre was NEVER a 2nd run theatre. It was always — even in its delapidated later condition — THE first run house in Seattle. The only exception is that during its last couple of months it ran Air Force One and Titanic several weeks into their release. Also, the chain is now AMC, which bought out General Cinemas.
