I am wondering if this report of the closing of what is apparently the last single screen theater in Seoul, South Korea actually refers to this theater; though the article says the name of the theater is the Seodaemun Art Hall, it also indicates that the theater was opened in 1964 and showed primarily classic older films, as the headnote also states.
There are some pictures of the theater’s outer lobby here as well as information about theater’s run as a Cinerama house.
Apparently, this was the last theater in the world with regular Cinerama showings (final showing 10/25/72) until the Pictureville installation in Bradford, England in June of 1993.
This is a picture of the former Regal Theatre in Ormskirk. I don not think the building was demolished, but rather that the supermarket occupies the the building that housed the theatre.
The David (or New David) has its own listing here on CT and its entry indicates that its address was 236 W. 54th St. A comparison of the photos at the various links in the comments shows two dissimilar buildings, and the buildings adjacent to the two theaters do not match ; the building that housed the 55th St. Playhouse has an alley to the right of the entrance, whereas the building that was the David does not.
Looking at the auditorium and other photos, the theater’s “Skouras” remodeling made it a virtual twin to the Crest in Sacramento, right down to the sunken lower lobby; it’s also similar in many ways to the Crest in Fresno, especially the auditorium sidewall treatment.
Many of the theaters that GCC opened in the Greater Cleveland-Akron area in the 1960s opened as singles or twins – Southgate Cinema, Shoregate Cinema, Chapel Hill, etc. These were all in malls or adjacent to them.

I was going by the seat count listed on its entry here on CT which says 5,940. It may have had more at some point.
This website is a bit more direct and shows an exterior picture; there is a picture of the interior if one clicks on “Main Hall”.
