For grandiose theaters, I would say the UA Metro on union and the Castro. There are a few other single house theaters, I hear that the presidio is back up and running by the 4 star folks. Red Vic and the clay but those are not big theaters and the vogue is pretty small in comparison to the Metro and Castro. I think Metro is the last that actually shows first run films.
The coronet theater closed on the 17th, the last show was at 7:00pm “Million Dollar Baby”. It was a sad day for one of the nicest single house theaters in the city. There aren’t too many left, enjoy the last of the few because they will all be gone someday too. The theater was bought by the institute for aging and will be used to house elderly people. Unfortunately UA lost the theater during their bankrupcy in 1999. Cest La Vie to a cinema treasure.
Yes..those are very nice theaters, but the only one still showing first run films is the UA Metro.
