Hey, Cinemark Fan; any news on the Pipers Alley?
I saw a movie on here while on vacation in summer of 07. A great theatre.
This cinema complex opened on November 1st, 2002. Grand opening ad in colour in the photo section.

I’m flying to Chicago next week and I’ll probably catch “Atomic Blonde” on the new Dolby Cinema screen they have here
Theatre 4 has 214 seats, your about 100 under and theatre 10 176 seats now, it Dolby Cinema
@darquil, Hello! Can I use your method to know the seating capacity of other theaters? Where can I gather the box office attendence information or is there any other source that can help with identifying seating capacity? Thank you!
My guess is by counting the seats on the reserved seating chart that appears when you attempt to buy tickets on their websites. That’s the only way I’m aware of short of personally visiting the site or somehow finding that information with the fire marshal.
The theatre ticketing site or fandango if they are reserved seating. I’ve been doing my town for years when I ask or got from theatre employee schedules. Over the recent year with a lot of theatres going reserve seating, you could count the seats with the theatre ticketing site or Fandang. Fandango gives screen numbers, AMC site only the seat map until purchased. Other chains like Regal and Cinemark list the screen number.
My concern if I never went to the theatre, is actualy how the screen size is and digital sound. I realy wish theatres would list if the film is Dolby 5.1 or 7.1 or the format.
I understand their is DTS X, but haven’t seen one theatre saying it shows DTS;X.
