Dos Palos Theatre

The Dos Palos Theatre was opened by 1931. It is a two story building with white stucco front façade. Second story has arches that looks as thought they may have had windows on the second level. Red and white trim lined the roof. It was closed in the early-1970’s. It was twinned and reopened in the early-1990’s. It had closed by September 2015.

Great News!! I took a trip out to see this theatre,and the marquee lists “Fockers” and “Elektra” Now Showing! I was so shocked,that i almost crashed into it. I plan to catch films here regularly,and would encourage others in the central San Joaquin valley to do the same….gotta support it,or lose it.

Based on the preceding post, the status should be Open, unless it has closed since last January.

After being closed for over 20 years
the DOS PALOS THEATRE was twinned & reopened back in the early 90’s.
I saw JURASSIC PARK in DIGITAL SOUND there and it was packed.
When the new plexes opened 20 miles away in Los Banos CA
Dos Palos' business was injured.

There was also a drive-in in Dos Palos in 1963, named (not too surprisingly) the Dos Palos Drive-In. Capacity was 350 cars.

I guess the old management was unfriendly:

If you look at the marquee in the Street View, there are reddish blank spaces above the reader boards. As late as the mid 1990s, there were metal channel letters reading DOS PALOS, with magenta neon in them. At that time, they mostly worked. A few letters were out.

Does anyone have a recent update on this theatre? I understand it has been closed for several years and that the building was for sale earlier this year. Quick searches don’t turn up much of a footprint.
