News About This Theater

Century 24 - San Jose, CA

Located across Interstate 280 from its three sister theatres the Century 21, 22 and 23, the Century 24 opened its doors for a July 18, 1968 1:30 pm screening of “Gone with the Wind”.

A wall was built down the middle of the dome and reopened for the public as a twin on June 27, 1973.

In 2006 the Century 24 was separated from her sisters Century 21, 22 and 23 when Century Theatres sold to Cinemark. It was closed and demolished in January 2014. The Bethel Church of San Jose has been built on the site.

Does syufy/sywest still own the land?

According to Retrodome: Programming at Century 24 on Winchester (not one of the original trio) will cease at the end of 2013 to make way for a new, top of the line venue built by Syufy Enterprises and operated by Cinemark (the operator of Cinearts at Santana Row).

Contray to popular belief, THIS IS NOT DEMOLISHED JUST CLOSED AND THE ADDRESS IS VERY WRONG! 🤬
