Silver Cinemas operated this also as a sub-run discount house until May 1, 2000 when it shut down 17 locations including here as the. super Saver 8, the Kipling location as well the Arvada.
Sonora Entertainment Group started its first theater in Aurora, Colorado taking on the Super Saver 8 location in 2001 with American hit films dubbed into Spanish and Spanish-language films with English subtitles. The theatre was rebranded as Cinema Latino de Aurora. Sonora opened five theaters in its operation. Two unsuccessful locations closed quickly in Las Vegas and Colorado Springs. A Fort Worth, Texas location proved successful and a Phoenix location remained into the 2020s along with one in Pasadena, Texas. Two announced Chicago locations appeared to have not opened.
Sonora rebranded the Cinema Latino de Aurora to the Sonora Cinemas Aurora and the Cinema Latino de Phoenix as Sonora Cinemas Phoenix when it gave the theaters stadium seating. The Cinema Latino de Pasadena was about to make a similar transition in March of 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Sonora Entertainment suspended all of its programming following movies as of March 16, 2020 for the COVID-19 pandemic in its three locations, here at the Sonora Cinemas Aurora, Sonora Cinemas Phoenix, and the Cinema Latino in Pasadena, Texas. The Circuit filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in August of 2020. In 2021, Sonora Cinemas dissolved making the March 16, 2020 closure permanent.
I could be wrong but I’ve never heard this theatre called just the Cinema De Aurora. Cinema Latino de Aurora is what it’s called. It’s also been the Super Saver 8 as well as the Aurora 8.
