After 2 weeks Window Rock dropped massive hit Lilo & Stich for Last Rodeo.
This Sapphire Cineplex was opened in the mid 1990s to replace Cinema 1, the former Jerry Lewis Cinema. The theatre was opened by John & Marty Grey who operated Fountain Cinemas based in Phoenix. After they closed Reel West 1&2 in Silver City, New Mexico Marty retired. After Marty retired soon shared plans to do the same. The Morenci Theatre and Sapphire Cineplex were going to close as John was also retiring. However Fountain Cinemas and Hollis Cinema in Globe, AZ had the same film booking service. Hollis agreed to take over the two movie theatres to avoid having them close as Sapphire landlord wanted the theatre to remain operating. only The deal was made on December 1, 2015 and finalized on December 16, 2015. Hollis soon found it too difficult managing the two theatres and began looking for a buyer in August 2016. Hollis however was committed to a lease and remained reluctant operators for the next year. Finally in September 2017 negotiations began between Hollis and Allen Theatres. Allen took over Watford and Morenci theatres on December 1,2017.
The All Star Cinema opened in 2000 and was it closed in 2004. The Victory Church bought the All Cinema for 4.3 million in 2006. The theatre was renamed Victory Theatre and reopened as a second run theatre. Although all 4 auditoriums are fully intact only 3 are used as one is used for church services with band equipment and other items in front of the screen. In 2016 the church spent over $400,000 to add digital projectors with 3D. Also in 2016 after installing the new projectors a new first run policy was started. Although only being 2.1 miles from the Sapphire/Stargazer 5.The original owners of All Star Cinema had to share movies with Sapphire and usually All Star would miss out on the biggest hits. That is All Star Cinema couldn’t pay back bank loans and was foreclosed on just 4 years in and forced to close. Now Victory Theatre could plat day and date with Sapphire/Stargazer. However because Victory only wants to use 3 or 4 screens and that being a church play no R movies and are selective as to PG-13 movies.
The Victory Theatre also had a Starbucks and a Christian book store located inside the lobby.
In December 2022 the theatre was sold to a church entertainment management group called the Way Arizona. Following the purchase in January 2023 the marquee was covered were the movie titles are located with steel plates and the Victory Theatre name was replaced with The Way Arizona, although the theatre is still called Victory Theatre the new owners removed the theatre’s name and any mention that it is a movie theatre. The Way Arizona also removed the Starbucks and Christian book store, both replaced by a kiddie play area.
And just two years later the Way Arizona has put the Victory Theatre up for sale for $3.4 million in February 2025. The Way Arizona church does this, they buy businesses, get what they can out of it as fast a possible and then flip it. They want to turn key the theatre to a new owner, but have a deadline of end of summer 2025 or will close it.

This theatre made world news when on August 6, 2015 a man entered the theatre carrying two backpacks armed with a pellet gun, hatchet and pepper spay and began the assault before a screening of “Mad Max”. He managed to cut one patron multiple times with the hatchet. He had a shootout with SWAT before he was killed by Police. The police did not know the gun was a pellet gun. The bomb squad was called to remove the backpacks in case they were bombs inside. The one sliced survived the attack. Picture posted.
When this theatre first opened it was a twin before closing in 1991. When reopened in 2015 it sat empty for 24 years. It was decided to reopen the theatre as a single screen cinema. As a single screen cinema when reopened the 206 seat theatre had a 15 x 31 foot screen, Christie Cinema 3D projector with 3D capabilities and a 16 speaker sound system. The grand opening day was December 18, 2015. On December 14 a soft opening was held with the original Star Wars movie showed with Navajo-language.

The Memory Lane Drive is now PERMANENTLY CLOSED. The owner has given numerous reasons why the driver in will not open for 2024 and instead be closed permanently. One was attendance, that is funny because you would have thought after buying land on a former another drive-in that sat empty for 32 years before he bought it that sits next to a closed 3 screen cinema might be a sign of, uh this might be a bad idea. Instead he opened Memory Lane, awful name in 2021. He added a second screen in 2023, although he said the drve-in had low attendance. And now closed a year later. The things people will do for tax a write off.
