Some corrections to dates. The story given here makes it sound like Engler never ran the place. They did, for 2 years. It opened 11/22/85 and in Nov 1987 the lease went to UA. Minneapolis taxpayers financed a lot of this boondoggle in the early 1980s.

Some say this cinema is haunted. Anyone know anything about that?

The design for the theatre was actually laid out by the city of Minneapolis. Engler’s built the facility, but had to bow out of the cinema market, partly due to troubles with their restaurant franchises.

Old signage from UA & Reading is still present in the mall surrounding the theatre.
