I saw it in the first week at the Cinerama Dome in L.A. My friend that went with me changed his college major to film studies at U.C.L.A. after seeing this film. Still have the program they handed out. The most amazing movie going experience of my life.
There is a Target where the Grand Parkway was. Dont know the address. I was the first manager at the Grand Parkway when it opened in May(I think) of 1985. The auditoriums seated 550, 350, and 350. All were equipped with all Klipsch speakers and 35/70 mm in the large auditorium. It was opened by Moyer Theatres and taken over by Act 3 when Larry Moyer sold out to them. I got to run several movies in 70mm there including Top Gun, Cocoon, Young Sherlock Holmes, and Untouchables.
I worked at this theater from 1979 to 1981 and managed it from 1982 to 1985. At the end of its days it was called the Tanasbourne Cinemas. It was run by Moyer Theaters. It was at 185th and Sunset highway. A target is where the theater was. Now there is a Regal across from where the Tanasbourne Mall was. Seating capacities were 535, 304, and 304. 70mm in big auditorium. Ran Close Encounters, 2010, Quest for Fire, Star Trek 3, and a few others in 70mm. The mall was torn down when the theater was and turned into an open air shopping center. An early multiplex, not really much but it was first theater I managed and have lots of fond memories.
I went on Tuesday night and had to leave it was so messed up. I am one of the projectionists that ran 3 projector here(able booth for one show of How The West Was Won and one show of This Is Cinemrama) We used to have a good union operator here but AMC cut the position 3 years ago. What was wrong on Tuesday was poor focus and no sound from the stage speakers or subwoofers till midway thru reel 2 when I left to get my money back. Sad. When they ran 2001 on the deep curve several years ago it was great. Normal 35 presentations usually run okay here but with 70mm they really should use an experienced projectionist.
As of June 5th the Seven Gables is closing. According to website stay tuned for remodel details.
