I believe that's about how many seats were in the "big theater" at the Pacific's Hastings Theater. I counted them all once the summer before graduating from high school, when I had to regularly clean it -- by myself on closing shift -- during a summer job during my senior year of high school that paid a cool $5.25/hour minimum wage.

Losing the Rialto and the Pacific Hastings makes for a grievous week for West valley movie fans.
