The big screen could show 70mm and seated 547. The middle screen seated 425. The small screen seated 295. There was a weird smell in the small screen that I always associated with the movie “The Stuff”, and I would tell people the movie was in Smell-o-Rama.

mrjasyn: Do you remember what years the Ridge Square 3 was open? I don’t think there’s been a theater in Minnetonka since it closed.

It had to have opened sometime in the 70’s since I saw Star Wars there and it was fairly new. The last movie I remember seeing there was Thelma and Louise.
