The Cornelius 9 was opened by Act III Theatres on April 30, 1989. According to owner Robert Perkins in The Oregonian, the conversion to digital in April of 2013 cost close to a half a million dollars. His Act V Theaters, which also runs the Forest Grove Theater has yet to convert and will run 35mm as long as possible.
The Act V Theaters website says Mr. Perkins spent 25 years as a vice president with Act III and Wallace/Hollywood Theaters.
The Oregonian also notes that Cornelius is where people come from all over the Portland metro area to watch Indian films. The 9-screen cinema screens two to three films a month in Hindi, India’s national language.

Opened on March 28th, 1997 by Act III. Grand opening ad posted.
Closed by Regal in October 2001 and reopened by Tom Moyer on December 21st, 2001. Ad posted.
One auditorium is currently THX-certified as of this comment post date. One of the last commercial THX theaters in the nation.
Also has a lounge in the back of the largest auditorium.
Just went to see Snow White there, and the sound is no different (PLF THX). It’s pretty cool that they have a bar behind the auditorium, and that’s just about it. THX sound is redundant. Going to see a movie at a THX theater in 1987 would sound the same as going to see a movie at a generic non-THX multiplex today.
Act III took over the theater on April 30, 1989. However, United Artists originally planned to take over the theater by June 5, 1988 but was immediately scrapped by Luxury before the deadline that April.
