The movie theater complex opened on 23 December 1977, featuring an 800 seat theater with stadium seating, 70mm, and large murals of "Star Wars" and "Sound of Music". Downstairs were two 315 seat theaters with murals of classic movie stars. The theater has been gutted and replaced by a fitness center.

Trolley Corners Photos
An artist's drawing of the Trolley
Corners building before construction. The drawing shows
a triangular sign on the front of the theater rather than the
flat sign that was actually built.
Deseret News, 23 December 1977, page C7 |
The Trolley Corners Theatres had a
flat sign over the entrance to the building along 700 East.

The sign of the Trolley Corners Theatres at night. The
words "Trolley Corners" appear at the top of the sign and "Theatres"
is written on either end. Below the name of the theater were
sections for each theater with seven lines of copy.

across the street. Below
the sign on the right is an entrance to the building. The
area on the left of the entrance was originally a driveway to
the parking structure and bank drive-thru.
