Listed in the Film Daily Yearbook of 1950 with no seating count. The Dillon Theatre operated in the Town Hall. The Dillon Theatre was still open in 1955, but had closed by 1956. In 1961 construction was nearing completion of a dam which would flood the old town. The town was rebuilt on higher ground and would include a new Dillon Theatre.

From the Nov. 12, 1949 issue of BoxOffice: “BRECKENRIDGE, COLO. – Ervin Theatres has closed the Dillon Theatre here due to colder weather and the lack of help.” Possibly just closed for the season.
