General Cinema opened the Greengate on May 27, 1977 with “The Sting” in Screen 1, “Day Of the Animals” in Screen 2 and “Cross Of Iron” in Screen 3, and GCC operated the theater until June 17, 1988 when it was taken over by Cinema World. It was last operated by Carmike who operated the Greengate until Late 1999.
The Lake Theatre actually closed on April 17, 1960 with “The Buckskin Lady” and “Wink Of An Eye” along with three unnamed cartoons. The reason of closure is because of declining attendance.
Cost of the theater’s building is an estimate $35,000 when it was constructed before opening. It actually first had a soft opening on June 27, 1941 before officially opening to the public the following day on June 28, 1941, not 21.
There are two Ruskin Drive-Ins. The first one opened in 1952 at 34th and Lougheed, and closed in 1966 when the newer Ruskin Drive-In opened nearby also on Lougheed near 289th. It was renamed the Fort Ruskin Drive-In during the late-1960s and was still open in 1973.
This briefly operated as a special events house after closure.
