Located in the Irongate Plaza the three screen Cinema opened in 1980 by Cinemaland. Seating was given at 680. Mann Theatres took over the operations in 1995.
The Irongate Cinema closed in 2006 and has since been converted to retail.

The old tri-plex in the Irongate Mall. Remember it well, used to take my girlfriend there alot. Had a Pizza Hut across the hall as well as an arcade. Fun times. New Mann Cinema 8 is in town now with stadium seating.
There is an error in the date this theater complex opened. I was going to community college in Hibbing and took a short-term job installing the seats in this theater. The opening would have been about 1980.
Hibbing Daily Tribune article of 10-28-1982 reports the Lybba being closed and Cinemaland was going into the Irongate Mall 3-plex. Cinemaland said competition from the 3-plex in 1981 hurt the Lybba’s business. Impression given by the article is that the 3 plex had been a different operator, and may have been out of business at the time Cinemaland closed the Lybba and went into the 3-plex. The article is a bit murky on these details.
