This opened on November 22nd, 1991. Grand opening ad posed.
Opened by Edwards Cinemas… not UltraStar. Did UltraStar ever build anything themselves? Maybe the Surprise 12 in AZ?
Now operated by Cinépolis as a luxury cinema. Still six screens.
Yep, confirmed it will be a 21+ food/drink concept: http://bit.ly/kWvOU7 Will be interesting to see what they do.
I think I’ve got it now… As many of you know, Cinépolis has a luxury concept in Mexico… It would make sense, given the upscale mall, that they would do a similar U.S. version a la Gold Class with $25 tickets and alcohol service.
I am now being told that Cinépolis will be the new exhibitor… in what would appear their first U.S. location!?!? Will it be a Spanish subbed/dubbed site? While there are plenty of Spanish-speakers in the area, the mall is such an upscale / elderly Caucasian type of place that that would be weird. But it might just work.
I have just been informed that UltraStar has given the location up (YES!!!). A new, unidentified company plans to come in and remodel. No details on the timeline. Who will it be? With pushes for a new theater in the former Home Depot Expo lot not five miles away, one wonders if the La Costa 6 will become an indie theater or perhaps a discount house under a Starplex-like operator.
LA Times advertised Camino Plaza Theater 5 at 2565 El Camino Real in 1979. It doesn’t appear that this was ever listed on CT.
