Mike,
This theater will have leather reclining chairs with ottomans, tables and buttons for table service.. Nothing will be non-digital, and it will truly be classy, BUT WITHOUT the huge classy prices!
He wants to keep it affordable so people will actually come back more than once a year for anniversaries and birthdays. It is themed Tuscany and resembles a village interior, and will have a plaza style bistro seating area.
The 4 smaller houses are seat ready and wired ready to go, one of the large theaters has the steel risers in place waiting for concrete, and the 6th auditorium is being used for storage right now.
about 8-10 weeks out. no info on a website update yet. Chuck
This is great news. I hope they are opening with digital projectors and soudn system
Spoke with the owner YESTERDAY 8/22/12 and finishings are going on right now, and the seats have been ordered for delivery in the next few weeks.
Other equipment has been in storage for a while now, but the theater is set to open in 8-10 weeks, and events have already been booked for November. The opening will be 4 of the 6 auditoriums and the 2 largest houses will open shortly after.
There will be 2 types of concessions in the lobby where you will order and pick up at a counter at the bar, They will be Mexican and Italian. Then you will have seat service in the auditoriums.
Excitement is in the air, and things are finally at the stage of finishing the details and getting it done at this point!
Is this theater ever going to open again?
Was by this theater a few weeks ago, which has changed names due to a copyright issue, and there seems to be forward progress.
It looks like they have re-done the drywall, and they were pouring concrete for the stadium seating, it also looked like they were working on the front of the building.
I have emailed the owner but did not get a responce as to a new opening date, but I WOULD ASSUME that they will bust a$$ to get it open by Memorial Day, which is obtainable if the issues have been resolved and they are in a forward motion!
Ya I am not sure what is happening I was told that everything is in storage and ready to go in, but construction delays and the landlord are holding it back.. All I can say is RENT CREDIT and I hope he’s not paying anything right now either if he is waiting for the owner of the building and dealing with insurance companies. Opening after X-Mas is death till summer! Chuck
Still not open. They changed the name of the new theater, but the old sign is still on the front of the theater.
Has anything happened with this theater. Is it open or did the whole deal fall through?
Talked with the owner last week, and the Restaurant/Bar next door should be open the 8th. They are having Issues with the landlords insurance companies that are dragging their feet with repairs from roof damage and other water related issues. All the A/C and roof has been replaced, and the equipment is in warehouse storage waiting to go in once the insurance adjusters pay out on the claims at hand. Expected opening date is ASAP. Chuck
Doesn’t look good at this point, the new owners of the theater also run the Channelside Cinemas theater, which just filed for bankruptcy.
Stumbled upon the building today, not sure if they are having permit or construction problems, but a newspaper article stated a May opening and it’s now July and there is no front on the building.
Unless there is substantial work that has been done to the theaters, there is no lobby, or front wall, indicating that at this point it probably won’t open till closer to Thanksgiving. Chuck v
Strange shutting a screen down,but i have the impression Carmike does not put a lot money in a location.
Mike, You may be right. Main Street 6 originally opened with 6 screens but if I recall correctly I remember reading somewhere that when Carmike assumed ownership they shut down one screen but not sure why.
I think if you look back, this tyheater had only 5 screens not 6.
I drove by last week but still nothing on this theatre. The building has been rennovated but I didn’t notice any sign indicating when it may open. A new marquee went up at the entrance off of Dale Mabry but still nothing on it.
Below is a link to an article published back in November 2010 about the new theatre and the planned reopening this spring. I doubt this will post as a live link so you’ll have to copy and paste into your browser: http://www.review.net/section/detail/movies-make-a-comeback-in-carrollwood-next-spring/
Any word on the opening date?
thanks nick.
I recently drove by this location and the building is definitely taking shape. There’s also a new marquee up at the entrance to Main Street Center. As I recall I think Main Street Six Cinemas originally opened in the early 1980s under the Plitt Theatres banner and later became Cineplex Odeon and finally Carmike.
Main Street Six featured four large and two smaller auditoriums. All six were deluxe cinemas with wall-to-wall curtains and nice-size screens. It was nearly identical in size and layout to University Collection Six (not to be confused with University Square Mall.) Interestingly they’re reopening this location when it originally closed mainly due to “underperformace” (not to mention Carmike filing for bankruptcy protection.) Part of the problem was too much competition from the nearby Hillsboro Eight and Mission Bell Eight which are now long gone. So hopefully they’ll be successful with this new venture.
I remember seeing these films here: GHOSTBUSTERS, FATAL ATTRACTION, AGNES OF GOD, LA BAMBA (played on two screens – English & Spanish language versions) GREYSTOKE THE LEGEND OF TARZAN, WITNESS, a midnight showing of John Water’s POLYESTER, and a re-release of WEST SIDE STORY.
Thanks for the Pictures.hopefully,Nick can add more.
Great news that this tehater is reopening. When it originally opened it was a very class A theater
