Many of these films could only be seen in grindhouse cinemas, movie theatres in dangerous areas of American cities (such as New York's then-dilapidated Times Square) that charged low admission and promised high levels of exploitation.

cines de películas condicionadas, cine para adultos, (fam. in Argentina
This term, "grindhouse cinemas", refers to the cinemas where "adults-only" movies were shown (going from the 30s cautionary films to porno-chic in the 70s). A quite wide range of films were shown there, not only porn. Therefore, I would say the right term in Spanish is: "cines de películas condicionadas". An informal phrase used especially in Argentina for this type of cinema is "cines valijeros", but "cines de películas condicionadas" would apply better (for it has a wider use, not only in Argentina).
