I hope these end up in a small, independent theater that is struggling to survive in the face of the need to convert to digital instead of being acquired by one of the big chains for use in one of their smaller screening rooms.
My take on Cinemark is that they have evolved; their theaters built in the early 1990’s (many of them discount multiplexes with garish interiors – for example was the Willoughby Hills 10 in Ohio had headache-inducing chartreuse walls with checkerboard tile floors with video games all over the place) had then-common shoebox auditoria often with mono sound and undistinguished projection.
But by the beginning of the new century, and especially after the company became a major player and it acquired the Century and CineArts brands, their theaters became far more luxurious and comparable to any of the best of the recently-built megaplexes. My most recent visit to a Cinemark-owned theater was at their Century 9 in San Francisco and it was a first-class experience.
