I cannot find a lot of information for most of the theaters in Panama City, but I can confirm that the Lux operated during World War II alongside the Central, Cecilia, Tropical, President, and Capitol Theatres. All five theaters were still operating before Pearl Harbor, and all of them ran American titles.

The Teatro Lux (or the Lux Theatre in English) was one of the few first-run theaters in Panama City, and was still operating before its 3-strip Cinerama was installed on September 11, 1963.

There are 16 movie theaters in Panama City during the CinemaScope era, with 15 indoors and one drive-in.
