Houston Chronicle Chron.com article dated 11/22 on this theater being remodeled to get more special format screens. (I’m not sure if the article was in the print edition of the Chron.) Remodeled theater will probably match the also recently remodeled Regal (also formerly Edward’s) Marq-E and Regal Benders Landing in Spring when done.
to answer winteryroses question of three years ago this is a mall theater where the mall is kind of in a hill side, so the entrance to the theater is off a bridge from parking deck a few stories in the air, but the back exits go out into surface parking and a department store entrance. There were ideas through the years but nowhere to practically build to.
That’s a really neat ad. Thanks for uploading it! Shame about that Futurvision & Showscan. I’d never heard of futurvision & tried to look it up. Couldn’t find much.
I found this theater when I noticed it was playing the Korean Towering Inferno remake The Tower. I was told they regularly play Asian films (the theater neighbors a Samsung office building.) It’s a great find, and I wish I’d seen this place in it’s film days. I can’t think of another multi- in the state that looks like such an effort build. I was also told all 12 houses are served by one split-level projection booth, which is something else I haven’t heard of before. I’d love to know if there’s more theaters in this style.
