Actual opening date is April 11, 1997. All auditoriums at the time featured Christie package of projectors, lamphouses and platters, with QSC amps and genuine Dolby SR and A analog back-up systems.

As of 1997, one auditorium featured all three sound formats (DTS, SRD, and SR) in one, while one other auditorium used both DTS and SRD. The other auditoriums featured SRD only in seven auditoriums and DTS only in the remaining five auditoriums.
