Tom Moyer’s Luxury Theatres launched the Bend Cinemas on July 1, 1977 with one 400-seat auditorium and two 200-seat auditoriums for a total of 800 seats. It was often referred to as the Bend Tri-Cinemas though rarely in ads.
In 1989, the Act III Theatres purchased the Luxury Theatre Circuit with the the venue becoming the Act III Bend Cinemas on November 3, 1989. On December 21, 1994, the venue was officially marketed as the Act III Bend Tri-Cinemas.
Act III was purchased by Regal Cinemas in 1998 with the name of this venue changing to the Regal Bend Tri-Cinemas officially on January 8, 1999. The Regal Bend Tri-Cinemas closed on June 14, 2000 with “U-571,” “Road Trip,” and “Frequency” and superseded by the Old Mill 10 that opened nine days later. After two years of vacancy, the venue was split up as a mixed-use facility.
Later operated by Act III, last operated by Regal.
Opened July 1st, 1977 and closed in 2000. Grand opening ad posted.
