The original Northgate (operated by Blumenfeld) theatre wasn’t in this development. If I recall it was in one of the other outlying shopping centers.
Back in the 70s and 80s, when this was an outdoor mall, the Northgate Theater was a rather large single screen auditorium. I believe it was even outfitted for 70mm presentations, and showed Star Wars in the day. It was located roughly where the food court is located now.
I’ve posted information and photos from a recent visit here.
Per the maximum occupancy signs above each auditorium door, seating capacities for the screens are as follows:
1 – 130
2 – 137
3 – 164
4 – 109
5 – 188
6 – 129
7 – 164
8 – 164
9 – 100
10 – 86
11 – 151
12 – 172
13 – 210
14 – 138
15 – unposted.
This puts the total seating capacity at about 2200, if Christian is correct that #15 has about 120 seats.
