  • <p>It wasn’t certain what the name of the UA Plaza would be. Drawn in early concepts as the UA Cinema Center, a name used successfully in California, the chain would go after General Cinema’s neighboring NorthPark III&IV with the name UA NorthPark. There was backroom fighting about that and the UA would open May 24, 1989 as the UA Plaza as shown in the final touches of the theater’s building here.</p>

  • <p>The final days of the Continental Theater as a single screen venue in November 1995. Soon the remodeling and new auditorium construction would begin.</p>
  • <p>Another view of the original building and the last film to play the giant single screen: To Die For. A sentiment echoed by many to describe the original massive auditorium.</p>
  • <p>The remodeling of the Continental is underway in January 1996. The former entrance, seen here in a side view, will now become the rear of the venue.</p>
  • <p>Another view of the reconstruction of the Continental. Five more screens were added, surrounding the original giant auditorium.</p>
  • <p>The construction proceeds as the single-screen venue becomes a six-plex. Here is a shot of an embyronic hallway: the original exterior walls on the left, new auditoriums being built on the right.</p>
  • <p>The new Continental begins to take shape with the addition of five auditoriums and a new lobby/concession stand surrounding the original building.</p>
  • <p>The unique lines of the new Continental appear, as the original building is now surrounded by five new auditoriums and lobby.</p>
  • <p>The new marquee at the still under construction Continental in April 1996.</p>
  • <p>Looking out from what will be the new lobby at the reburbished Continental.</p>
  • <p>Nearing completion - the expanded Continental Theater.</p>
  • <p>Another view of the rebooted Continental - a rare instance of a single screen venue being saved instead of razed!</p>
  • <p>Taken a day or so before the grand re-opening on June 21, 1996. Since then, ownership changed from United Artists to Regal, and four more screens have been added in the front - meaning this view is now historic!</p>
