GATEWAY THEATERS LA MIRADA

The Gateway Theater in La Mirada, California, was a five-screen cinema that opened in 1984 at 14351 Firestone Boulevard. Originally part of the Gateway Theatres chain, it later came under the operation of Edwards Theatres in the mid-1990s. Known locally as the Gateway 5, it served as a popular entertainment venue throughout the 1980s and 1990s, offering first-run films in a comfortable suburban setting. The theater closed around 1999 and was later demolished to make way for commercial redevelopment, marking the end of a familiar gathering place for La Mirada residents.
