960 S. Colorado Boulevard ? 1974-1994 This was built next to the Cinerama. It was owned by Cooper and Commonwealth.

Cooper Cinerama

960 S. Colorado Boulevard March 9, 1961-1994 814 seats. Owners: 1961-1975 The Cooper Foundation 1975-1987 Commonwealth Theatres 1987-1994 United Artists The Cooper was among the theatres included in the original limited-market launch of "Star Wars." The Cooper's 5/25/77 opening-day gross, according to Daily Variety, was a house record $7,966. This was the first cinema to be built for Cinerama. The Denver Cooper Theater was the first "Super Cinerama" theater built that was especially designed for the Cinerama 3-strip process. Construction began on May 17, 1960, with an estimated construction cost of $750,000. The theater opened on March 9, 1961 and actually cost $1,000,000 to construct, furnish, and equip. Richard Crowther designed the Cooper Theater. Although the Cooper Foundation as a design consultant for the project retained Mel Glatz, his actual contribution to the design is unknown. The Berglund-Cherne Company constructed the theater. The Denver Cooper Theater had the largest movie screen in the world, at the time that it was constructed. The movie screen measured 38-feet high by 105-feet wide, built in a 146-degree arc (curve). Seating capacity was 814 seats. At the time that it was built, there were only ten Cinerama theaters in the nation. The Coooper had a number of innovations (i.e., movie theater "firsts"). For example, seats were installed in a curve, so that each seat directly faced the curved movie screen; there were no doors at the entrance to the restrooms, so that patrons could get in and out faster (there were partitions that users walked around to get to the restrooms); and the entire auditorium had small holes in the ceiling that delivered heat and air conditioning air flow, which minimized noise coming from the HVAC system. The Denver Cooper Theater played a number of travelogues starting in 1961, including "This Is Cinerama," "Cinerama Holiday," and "Seven Wonders of the World." On July 14, 1962, the theater hosted the world premier of "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm." On March 7, 1963, "How the West Was Won" started and played for 88 weeks. During the period from 1961 to 1964, all

presentations were in "roadshow" format; that is, reserved seating, one or two shows presented a day, and an intermission between Act 1 and Act 2. In the Fall of 1964, the theater was converted to display 70mm presentations. In 1967, the Cooper was reconverted back to the 3-strip Cinerama process to display "The Best of Cinerama." After that, the 3-strip process was never used at the Denver Cooper again. What's lost in all these historical facts is that the Cooper Theater was a Denver icon. Movie viewers sometimes traveled from all over the country, just to see the Cinerama process displayed at the Denver Cooper Theater. Travel agents in other states would purchase tickets for their customers, when booking travel arrangements for people coming to Denver (the Denver Cooper had 17 ticket offices in the Rocky Mountain region). Friday, Saturday, and Sunday performances were almost always sold-out; performances during other days were either sold-out or close to being sold-out. The theater staff sat movie viewers in the aisles just to accommodate more people in the theater (until the Fire Marshall threatened to shut down the theater for this practice). The Denver Cooper garnered a reputation for being the "show piece" for the Cinerama process. It was indeed a special event to view Cinerama at the Denver Cooper Theater, and audiences knew it. In 1994, the Denver Cooper was torned down because (1) the land that it was built on became more valuable than the theater itself, (2) movie viewers were more attracted to newer multi-screen "mega-theaters," and (3) the building was over 30 years old and maintenance costs were increasing to the point that it was no longer profitable to keep the theater open. A large, retail bookstore now occupies the site. It was certainly Denver's loss when the Cooper was razed.

Cinderella City Cinema

1000 Englewood Parkway 1968-1979 The theater was owned and operated by the General Cinema Corporation. As such, it used the company standard architecture (e.g., no curtain, curved walls that framed the screen, light blue and gray color scheme, perforated (acoustic) panels on the side walls, etc). The theater hosted the world premier of Walt Disney's "Snowball Express" in 1972. The actors Dean Jones and Nancy Malone were in attendance at that premier.
