Actually, looks like it’s new use will also be for office space in the brick section, former home to the upper-level theaters (7-9 on the 2nd floor & 10-12 on the 3rd as the 12; dunno about the original theater numbers back when it was owned by UA).
Also, like I said in my comments from years ago, this theater opened on June 18th 2004, as shown on archives of the Camera Cinemas website on the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive.
Looks like the property is being gutted for use as retail. There go the remodeling plans. While it does sadden me, it’s most likely the next logical step to do. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/02/28/700-million-for-downtown-san-jose-starts-with-camera-12-office-retail-project/
According to KPIX news, this theater was apparently scheduled to go through a $6.5 million renovation. But 2 weeks ago, AMC suddenly backed out of the deal, stating declining attendance and the theater losing money. After the final showings on Sunday night, AMC closed the theater, much to the surprise of Antioch moviegoers.
An article in the Napa Valley Register from September 11th, 1998 says this theater opened on September 18th, 1998, which falls on a Tuesday this year, but was on a Friday back in 1998.

I meant that that version of the website that I looked at said it would open on that date, and versions after June 18th, said that it was opened.
I just looked at Internet Archives Wayback Machines camera cinemas website for May 2004 and it said that this opened on June 18th, 2004.
