This building was the original Oak Brook Theatre that was opened by Balaban & Katz with the mall in the 1960’s. The opening movie for the Oak Brook Theatre on December 25, 1964 was Rock Hudson & Doris Day in “Send Me No Flowers”. The original theatre stayed a single screen theatre until the early-1980’s when it was divided into 3 theatres. On December 18, 1987 a second group of 4 -screen opened under a new section of the mall (they have their own page on Cinema Treasures as AMC Oakbrook Center 4)
As moviegoing declined in the 1990’s the newer theatres closed in 2001 and were converted into storage for retailers (since reopened by AMC). The original 3 theatres closed on September 1, 2003. The theatre building sat abandoned till being renovated into the Cheesecake Factory in early-2000’s.
