The theater has been renovated and the name has been changed to 3Below Theaters and Lounge. Got changed to a blend of events and film. Occasionally show first run independent films, but not nearly as much as they used to.
It’s now the San Jose location for National Comedy Theatre presents ComedySportz. I think they started playing there in December of 2005.
I guess they aren’t reopneing the movie theatre anytime soon

Yes indeed, the former Camera 3 neon vertical sign is in place on the Camera 12! The original red letters reading, CINEMA are still in place, and between them, new white neon letters reading, CAMERA 12 blink on and off. In addition, aluminum sheet metal strips of “film” snake in and out over the formerly stark entrance. These “filmstrips” are backed with blue neon. In addition, the sides of the building feature new CAMERA 12 horozontal neon signs. At last, a welcome touch of flashy showmanship has come to what was once a plain building. Congrats, Camera Cinemas!
According to the Camera Cinemas website, this will be closing on July 8.
Gary,
The sign was saved and moved to the Camera 12.
Here’s hoping that Camera Cinemas will save the beautiful, neo-moderne vertical sign from the Camera 3. Maybe it could have a new home on the Camera 12? Being that it simply reads, “Cinema,” this would be an excellent idea. Downtown San Jose needs all the illuminated signage it can get.
