I lived right off Roscoe near Sepulveda, and went to the Airport several times in the early 1970s. I remember seeing a reissue of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service there. Nice little nabe.
The entire block across from the Home Depot has been razed, and something is being built there. Status should be closed/demolished.
Did they ever show “AIRPORT” at the Airport Theatre?
The March 7, 1966, issue of Boxoffice reported that Jack Grossman’s Holiday Theatres chain had just opened its latest hardtop, the Airport Theatre.
If you’re on Facebook, is this it?

That’s it.
Came across the Batman photo in a discussion of the Adam West TV series. Note the Airport Theatre sign in the background, top right. That appears to be the marquee behind the helicopter frame. This would have been taken at the north end of Van Nuys Airport property, I think. Circa 1966-68, based on the run of the TV show.
I think it was the movie version of the tv series, i don’t think the batbike and sidecar, and batcopter were in the tv series as well!!
Did it screen the batman movie(tv series version)!!
Slight correction. Opened on March 9th, 1966. Grand opening ad posted.
