Expanded to 7 screens on March 12th, 1982. No grand opening appeared in the papers.
This opened on February 20th, 1976 with four screens. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
In response to Joe Vogel’s comment above, I can confirm the quad that UA opened at Breckenridge Village was indeed the Cinema City (although it didn’t actually open until February 1976).
If this house was in the Breckenridge Village shopping center, then it was probably the quad that UA opened in 1975. That project was listed in the 1975 new theater construction report that was published in Boxoffice of May 3, 1976. The report didn’t say if it was entirely new construction or a remodeling/expansion of an earlier house, but UA was building a lot of new quads in the mid-1970s.
The site of this theater is now the parking lot for the theater that replaced it.
Information available to me suggests this theatre closed 9/16/1998.
This opened well before 1980, and I doubt it opened with seven screens. Does anyone know the screen-count timeline?
