This venue’s 70mm presentations history is included in the recently-published article “70mm Presentations in Dubuque: A Chronology of 70mm Large Format Exhibition, 1964-Present”.

This theatre opened as the Kennedy Road Cinema. This needs tobe added to the previous name list.

The timeline is a little off. The expansion to 8 screens was done in the late 80s/early 90s and the stadium seating renovation never came.

Attended a showing of the 3rd Pirates of the Carribbean movie this past week. The movie theater was great. Large auditorium, pretty clean, decent prices. However, the place was EMPTY. I am afraid this place will not be open much longer. The Kennedy Mall Theaters across the street look as if they have gone out of business as well.
