Theatre should be marked demolished.
The site of the theatre is now a condo/loft/whatever complex. If you look on the ground floor they left a few original walls near the foundation for some reason.
Zip code was/is 91502.

I worked at the theatre in 1997 when we celebrated the 10th anniversary…….
This theater was truly a flagship in the revitalization of downtown Burbank. Until this mid 1980s revitalization the nearby area along San Fernando Road was closed to traffic and was called the Golden Mall. It was a sleepy little area of small retail shops with playgrounds in the middle. Little different from its birth in the 1960s. After the AMC Burbank 14 was built many new business and restaurants, including an enclosed mall, came to the area and San Fernando Road was reopened to traffic. The first film I saw here was in 1986. It was some classic Disney re-release. Today the area is quite different form those days.
correction: this theatre opened in 1986. the first movie i saw there was eddie murphy’s “golden child.”
I love the front row and this was the first theater I attended in which at least one screen went nearly to the floor, significantly improving the front-row experience.
