The Cielo Vista Mall became marketed as the Cielo Vista Mall 10 in 1985 screens to make it look more impressive than two aging facilities - one a triplex in the mall and the other a carved up facility that had expanded to seven screens in December of 1985. It still listed the Cielo 3 and Cielo 7 showtimes for clarity. But on September 6, 1998, with General Cinema in free-fall economic collapse having been outflanked by theatre circuits building megaplexes, it closed the interior mall cinema. That left this facility as the General Cinema Cielo Vista 7 solo.
AMC took over the facility and the Sunland Mall and Park Cinema 6 on April 5, 2002. AMC didn’t care much for its El Paso portfolio closing each of the theaters. It closed the Cielo Vista on August 24, 2003. The Park closed October 23, 2003. The Sunland held on closing September 26, 2004. It was razed and a Hooter’s and a Cinemark megaplex took its spot.
Should be the AMC Cielo Vista 7 formerly….
Expanded to 7 screens on December 14th, 1985 and closed in 2003.
This opened on March 17th, 1978 as Cielo Vista IV V VI by General Cinemas. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
