There are several photos of this theater at this site: http://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/1896.html
According to their website (http://www.moviemax.com), their address is:
2601 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, CA
Also known as SoCal’s Plaza Camino Real. Although the theater had 70mm projection equipment, “The Rocketeer” was presented here in 35mm Dolby Stereo beginning on Friday June 21, 1991.
Correct. The new theater should be opening very soon because it’s already on Fandango (though no tickets on sale yet). All reporting says MovieMax will close, although I’m a little skeptical about that, because the owner (who only owns this theater) paid to upgrade to digital AFTER the new theater was announced. I spoke with him years back and he said he had considered going arthouse… wonder if that could potentially happen / what his lease terms are.
Closes Sunday, November 30.
This opened with one screen on August 29th, 1969. Grand opening ad posted.
