I saw two cinema classics here–the De Laurentiis KING KONG in December 1976, and AIRPORT ‘77 a few months later. I remember the theater being pretty impressive with a very large screen. Unfortunately, I moved from Colorado Springs before having a chance to see AIRPORT '79. (darn the luck!)
Currently CityROCK Climbing Center.
The Boxoffice article Tinsetoes linked to says that Richard L. Crowther & Associates were the on-site architects for this theater.
The Ute 70 Theatre was designed by Mel C. Glatz, in association with architect Maynard Rorman, according to a history of Cooper Theatres that was once available on the Cooper Foundation’s web site (it has since been removed.)
This opened on May 30th, 1967
