The West Acres 6 opened its doors by CEC Theatres on November 17, 1983 as a replacement of the Cinema 1 & 2 which closed the previous day. Six more screens were added on November 6, 1998 bringing a total to 12, and two more were added in 2000 bringing a total to 14 screens.
This theatre has an UltraScreen auditorium with DreamLounger reclining leather seats.
A pretty good theater, now run by Marcus Cinema. Went there about 6 months ago with a friend on her birthday. These kids disturbed our showing, so management gave us free passes. Those were even good at the Century across town. Since they are both Marcus theaters, sometimes on theater plays a film the other doesn’t.
In 2002, this theatre was remodeled into the current 14-screen configuration, but it originally opened much earlier than that with a smaller number of screens. I believe it originally opened in about 1983 with six screens. Several years later (probably in the late-1980s), a three-screen addition was opened and operated semi-separately as a discount house called the West 1-2-3. Eventually, these three screens were incorporated into the main complex, making it a nine-screen multiplex called West Acres 9. The 2002 addition expanded it to the current 14 screens while also creating a new (and much larger) lobby, entrance, and concessions area.
Will the good people of Fargo be able to see this years nominated films…“Sideways,” “Million Dollar Baby,” etc???
