Author Topic: New Movie Theaters Under Construction? Jeff Leyland Film Handler Posts: 28 From: Lake Charles, LA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 01-28-2002 07:15 PM                     Found article on Shopro Inc. putting a 17 in New Orleans with their "stealth" theatre design. Also found article on bizjournals.com about Dickinson building a new 18 in Wichita.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-29-2002 01:38 PM                     Jeff, So what exactly is a Stealth Theatre. I know Uncle Buck Kolkmeyer designed it, but thats all I know of it. Is this some sort of building thats invisible to moviegoers or something? I heard it has triangular/trapeziod shaped auditoriums which to me seems pretty bizarre. Anyone ever been to one of these pie works? A customer here has a design for a theatre building that I thought was really cool. It would cost a fortune to build though as its shaped like the Starship Enterprise....Yea, really, ask Dave Williams if ya don't believe me! I wonder if the Stealth design is at all similar to his plan which was originally drawn over 15 years ago.

It includes a pretty complete diagram of the proposed 17-screen "stealth" complex mentioned above, in New Orleans. http://jazzlandfan.tripod.com/new.htm ------------------ - dave Stay away from the meadow...  |  IP: Logged Jeff Leyland Film Handler Posts: 28 From: Lake Charles, LA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 03-24-2002 03:31 PM                     In the San Antonio Business Journal, John Santikos is developing a new shopping center on the city's NW side. It will include the first theatre he has built since he first sold his old chain to ACT III. It will be a 16 screen called the Silverado with an old west theme.  |  IP: Logged Mike Jones Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Birmingham, MI, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-27-2002 05:27 AM                     Does anyone have any word on the AMC opening of the River East 21 in Chicago slated for October? Is it still on track? Contemplating a move to the Windy City in the fall and this would surely get me out there easily. Thanks in advance guys!  |  IP: Logged
