3Below Theaters is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its venue, which opened as Camera 3 in downtown San Jose.
3Below Theaters in downtown San Jose is having special commemorative screenings May 18, 2024, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its venue, which originally housed Camera 3 Cinemas when it opened to the public May 18, 1984. I did a double-take when I heard 3Below Theaters in downtown San Jose was having a 40th anniversary celebration this weekend.
“Camera Cinemas passed the baton to us in 2018 but we couldn’t let this momentous date pass without acknowledging where it all began,” Shannon Guggenheim said. The best part about it all? 3Below is also rolling back prices to 1984 levels with tickets for those movies set at $3.50 and popcorn at $2 a bag. Moviegoers will also get a chance to win some free stuff including a “House Party” for a private movie screening.
The San Jose Jazz Boom Box stage will be parked int he courtyard featuring a new live band every week. Frunkyman, a soulful band led by bassist Miguel Leyva and made up of seven San Jose State grads, was the opening night band, and future performers include Tracy Cruz , the 408 Collective and Ukelele James . Of course, there’ll be dozens of food trucks, too, with the opening lineup including Shrimpin’ Ain’t Easy, Capelo’s BBQ, Barya Kitchen, Chicken Bros and Sam’s Chowdermobile.
