Hi Folks:

Does Blumenfeld Theatre still operate any theatres? The last two theatres that I knew of were the meridian 6 in San Jose and the Castro in San Francisco.

Didn't they operate the Fairfield Cinema 1 in Fairfield, CA up until its closure in the late 90's?

Just curious, Mike

Blumenfeld Enterprises no longer operates any theatres, they do own the land or buildings that a couple of them are on.in however (the Castro, for example).

Their primary business these days is real estate.

Mike,

I believe that Tegtmeier Theatres ran the Fairfield I & II until they closed.

I need to contact Blumenfeld and see if they have photos or any sort of historical archives we could scan for Cinematour. Old Booth Pics for the warehouse here would be awesome.

Also, they do not own the Castro property, it is owned and operated by whatever Nasser Brothers Theatres evolved into.

Aaron, does Dave still have that cabinet in his barn that came out of one of the Regencys? I liked that it was labelled with each of the Blumenfeld theatres on each shelf.

Hi Aaron & Scott:

Thanks for the information. I didn't think Blumenfeld operated any theatres anymore.

I had searched the internet about the fairfield Cinema 1 and their name came up.

I think it came out of the Royal or Alhambra, and yes it is in my shop at the main office.
