Contra Costa Cinema 8 Theatres

Opened by Festival Enterprises on June 27, 1986. The Contra Costa Times reported in May of 2000 that the Contra Costa 5 was among three theatres purchased by Signature Theatres from Mann Theatres. The other two theatres were in San Ramon and Walnut Creek. In September of 2001 the Times noted that after at least 30 years the Festival 5 had closed.

Sometime in the mid-2000’s the theatre was taken over by Cinema West, who added three screens and stadium seating. By 2021 it was operated as an independent cinema. By 2022 it was operating with 8-screens.

This appears to no longer be a Cinema West theater. It does not appear on their website and now has its own.

@Scott: This theater is 10 screens! 4 theaters in lobby and 6 down a hallway. Im sure they split two of the screens to make the 6. You can see photos of the hallway on Google Maps.

Hi, I’m the General Manager at Contra Costa Cinemas and I can attest to the fact that we have 10 screens. An addition was added to the building in 2018 / 2019 and the two new screens, numbers 9 & 10 opened for the release of Avengers Endgame in May of 2019.

In addition we are an independently owned theatre. We separated from the Cinema West chain in December 2021
