News About This Theater
- Dec 14, 2010 — Tucson's Century Park 16 to close in January
Built on the site of the Tucson 5 Drive-In, this theater was opened by Syufy Enterprises (later Century Theatres) chain on October 6, 1989 with 12 screens, and had expanded to include 16 screens August 12, 1994. Some of the screening rooms are domed, which are reminiscent of the large Cinedome theaters that Syufy built at one time especially in California. It was acquired by Cinemark in 2006.
In 2010, it was acquired by an investment group and was closed permanently in 2011, to be used for non-theatrical purposes. It was demolished in February 2023.
