This venue’s 70mm presentations history is included in the recently-published article “70mm Presentations in Fort Wayne: A Chronology of 70mm Large Format Exhibition, 1957-Present”.
The Holiday theatre opened on March 4th, 1966, with Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines.
Closed by Regal as a sub-run discount house on August 31, 2000 as the then financially-troubled circuit was looking to get out of lease situations all over the U.S. It kept operating the nearby Holiday 6 as a first-run house, converting it to sub-run discount status in April 2004, and then finally going for a full-price art/indy-centric operation until its closure November 13, 2005.
