Concerning “College Point” I found this article; it sounds like the project is called “University Gateway” now and the theaters are no longer part of the plan. View link

If you’re referring to the South Campus Gateway, it will have an 8-screen cinema at 9th and High, but it will be run by Columbus’s local Drexel Theatre Group:

Nothing to do with Rave.

Thanks for the link. The last article I posted was from 2002, so its information that a theater complex was no longer planned has been superceded by the 2004 announcement you have. I don’t think anyone ever said it had anything to do with Rave, but having an operators name is certainly helpful.

This theatre opened yesterday.

However, I don’t see what it adds to the local movie scene. The first week’s bookings look the same as many other Columbus-area cinemas.

This theatre is located in southern Delaware County, one of the fastest growing areas of the country. It is also the only theatre close to the giant Polaris Mall and shopping area.

With only the Crosswoods 17 to the south as competition, this theatre will draw from a very good area. I expect it to be successful.

All digital projection as of late summer, 2007. One screen equipped for 3-D digital projection.

So film can no longer be shown here at all?

According to a source at RAVE, they have pulled all 35mm equipment from all of their theatres.

Doesn’t that seriously limit what movies can be shown?

I don’t know of any major release they have not played.
