General Cinema opened the Cielo Vista Mall Cinema I-II-III on Christmas Day, 1974. It was located inside the mall. The debut attractions were "The Towering Inferno," "The Front Page" and "Freebie And The Bean."
General Cinema built a three-screen stand alone theatre in the parking lot Cielo Vista Mall Cinema 4,5,6, and later added three more screens to make Cielo Vista Mall Cinema 4-9 (see separate entry on Cinema Treasures), closing the Cielo Vista Mall Cinema I-II-III in 1998.

Cinema I was equipped for 70mm presentation, though I doubt they ran much, if anything, in 70.
I must’ve been drinking when I posted a pic of the new Cinemark… ugh. No… no pictures of the theatre inside the mall… I wish. Also the theatre outside the mall was demolished to make way for the Cinemark.
I was the manager of the Cinema as well as the Cielo Vista 7 in the parking lot from 1979 thru 1989, Edgar Phinney, mis the old days
