OVERLAND PARK, KS — Dickinson Theatres announced Monday that their Salina, Kansas Central Mall 8 Theatre wil began an expansion project to 10 screens. The two additional auditoriums will be located across the hall from the current theater and will feature 80 seats in one theatre and 60 in another.

The current auditoriums each have approximately 250 seats, and four of the eight screens are stadium seating. The new screens will be utilized for holdover pictures so that newer releases can be shown in the bigger auditoriums. Plus, this will give Dickinson the ability to showcase more artistic features.
