Sad to hear this cinema is closing, along with a lot of other Regal theaters. Saw “Ford Vs. Ferrari” here in IMAX on a visit to the area and it was spectacular.
The Avalon is in D.C. near the district line on Connecticut Avenue adjacent to Chevy Chase, Maryland. Mr. George Senda, the theater you are remembering is likely The Uptown Theater, which was also on Connecticut Ave. and closer to the National Zoo. The Uptown was a larger theater with a giant screen, and I’m fairly certain “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” and “How the West Was Won” each played there. The Uptown held the World premiere of “2001: A Space Odyssey” in 1968. The Uptown has closed permanently, though the Avalon is still operating.
