Grand opening ad:
20 grand opening 10 Nov 1996, Sun Omaha World-Herald (Omaha, Nebraska) Newspapers.com
Seating in all auditoriums is on Dream Lounger reclining leather chairs.
As of this year, the 20 Grand has been remodeled and now called ‘Majestic’.
Omaha World-Herald (NE) November 7, 1996 “Douglas Theater Co. will open its 20 – screen 20 Grand next week at 144th Street and West Maple Road. AMC will open its 24 – screen, yet – unnamed theater late next summer several miles to the south, near 144th Street and West Center Road. Together, the two multiplex theaters will hold about 9,100 people”
“Nineteen of the screens will be in conventional auditoriums. One special theater will offer simulated roller coaster, airplane and other motion technology rides.”
Do the higher profile films get the bigger screen? I seem to recall the Boyd in Philly doing that when it added a couple of sceens next door.
I imagine that it was built with 20 screens but one screen either was merged with another screen to create a bigger auditorium or one in used for storage.
Same thing with the Studio 30 in Kansas City and why it has 29 screens instead of 30.
I remember seeing Must Love Dogs (the one with Diane Lane and John Cusack) here back in 2005 while visiting Omaha. I remember that it was a pretty nice theatre.
And even then it was 19 screens.
