Information for this tour was contributed by Kevin Dennis. The only Continental Theater left of the three built in the 1960s, Denver's Continental, with its 800+ seats in a giant auditorium, has been a favorite destination for moviegoers from all over the city since its opening. But single screen theaters, no matter how popular, were not part of United Artists Theatres' business model in the mid-1990s. Usually, that meant slicing the big rooms into smaller theaters, but in the case of the Continental, a new plan was pursued. The retail establishments on the entire lot would be razed and new ones built, and the theater would be expanded -- the main auditorium becoming the largest room while five other rooms, ranging in size from 400 seats to 150, would be added. Thus the Continental became the rare older theater that became part of a multiplex while preserving its original dimensions.
