Correction: It was twinned during the mid-1970s, and continued operating into the 1980s, despite closing for restoration on April 21, 1983 with “The Verdict” in Screen 1 and “48 Hours” in Screen 2. The Woodlawn reopened a little more than a month later on June 3, 1983 screening older mainstream films (reopening with double features of “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” and “Popeye” in Screen 1 and “The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas” and “Fast Times At Ridgemont High” in Screen 2).
This didn’t last long, and the theater closed on March 25, 1985 as a movie theater with the double features of Disney’s “Pinocchio” and “Running Brave” in Screen 1 and “Tuff Tuff” and “Avenging Angel” in Screen 2.
Yes, Santikos once operated the Woodlawn for a time during the 1970s before becoming independently operated.
NOTE: This was NEVER renamed the San Antonio Theatre Center. It was located nearby, but not at the Woodlawn. It has always been named the Woodlawn Theatre, and as of 2026, is still the Woodlawn.
Closed on August 1, 1982 after a 3-day stunt as an adult theater. The Laurel ran its last normal mainstream films on July 29, 1982 with “Star Trek II - The Wreck Of Khan” and “Grease II”.
