This theatre was still operating into the 80s and as mentioned was on the opposite side of Camelback from Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall. Camelview 5 is on the same side of Camelback as the mall, which is the north side.

I bet the large theatre split into three screens looked horrible,much like was done to National Hills Theatre when it was tripled.I could only watch one movie there after it was tripled.and I got in Free and still couldn’t bring myself to see what Greed did to a wonderful theatre,much like CAMELBACK THEATRE.

The Camelback Theatre was located on the south side of Camelback road near Scottsdale Road. This where “MIDWAY” and “ROLLERCOASTER” played in SENSURROUND. The large theatre was split into 3 screens.

Is this the “Camelview 5” Harkin’s Theatre?

The July 5, 1965, issue of Boxoffice Magazine said that Associated Independent Theatres of the West would open the Camelback Theatre in Scottsdale that summer. The new house had 850 seats.

The January 17, 1966, issue of Boxoffice included the Camelback in its annual list of theatres opened during the previous year.

The 1967 annual report of Loew’s Theatres has a photo of this theatre. The caption says:

“The CAMELBACK Theatre is a handsome, first-run showplace in the prosperous Scottsdale area of Phoenix, Arizona.”

The report also mentions that Loew’s acquired its Southern California and Phoenix theatres from the “Statewide Circuit”.
