A photo of the former Fox Oxnard can be seen here.
Ground was broken for the Fox Theatre in November, 1968. The November 18, 1968, issue of Boxoffice said that National General’s chief of construction, J. Walter Bantau, was supervising the project.
The June 16, 1969, issue of Boxoffice Magazine ran a brief item announcing that the Fox had opened on May 27. The new house had 814 seats. NGC’s Fox-West Coast Theatres division was already operating three other theaters in Ventura County; the Fox in Ventura, the Fox in Santa Paula, and the Conejo in Thousand Oaks.
Here is an October 1972 ad from the Oxnard Press-Courier:

Yes, building is still standing.
It was opened by National General Theatres. The last chain to operate this theatre was Mann Theatres.
The FOX THEATRE in Oxnard opened on May 27, 1969.
Is the building still standing as of July 2006? Thanks.
Prior to its life as a medical clinic, it was a Chuck E. Cheese just before it became the medical clinic. Come to think of it, there was another Fox Oxnard further east, too.
