Balboa Theatre is a theater located in downtown San Diego California. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. Built in 1924 the Balboa Theatre was a grand 1920s movie palace with a seating capacity of 1600. The theater was converted to housing for the U.S. Navy during World War II. After the war it resumed operation as a movie theater but struggled and was slated for demolition in 1959 before being bought and converted into an action movie house.
