Author Topic: New Cinemark Theatre in Denton, Texas Erika McCarty Film Handler Posts: 21 From: McKinney, TX/New Haven, CT Registered: Nov 2003 posted 10-08-2004 11:21 AM                     I just discussed this Chad haha... I agree, Allen is VERY close to Legacy (5-10 min.), and I'm not sure I see any marginal revenue outweighing the costs. The reason McKinney Movies 14 gets the business it does in such close proximity to Legacy is because of the lower price. Isn't a new theater going to have charge more at the box office, thereby eliminating the incentive to skip Legacy and drive a little farther north? Quite frankly, I'm not understanding Cinemark's recent building strategy- turning 10 year old theaters into dollar theaters and building a new theater down the block of comparable size. That's not really growth... or maybe I'm missing something? Maybe I'm just partial, I'm not really comfortable with my home theater become a second run  |  IP: Logged Chad Lindsey Film Handler Posts: 38 From: Ada, OK, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 10-15-2004 04:44 AM                     any new news on this one? opening date?  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

I don't think they will be able to open until early next year.

Looks very much like the Sherman 12, with a tad bit more Legacy thrown in!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-18-2004 03:13 AM                     Ben, please UPLOAD those to the forum.

That begs the question...who will run the 12 in his absence?  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

Anyone hear if he is looking into changing theaters?  |  IP: Logged Chad Lindsey Film Handler Posts: 38 From: Ada, OK, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 10-19-2004 11:59 PM                     i saw Cedar Hill tonight (which is supposedly identical to Denton) very nice theatre, many improvements have been made to the Sherman design. The exterior is quite nice, one of the nicer theatres in Cinemark! I recommend anyone stop by and visit Cedar Hill if they get a chance. (and purchase a large popcorn and drink of course!) Still no word on who's getting "The Sherman"?  |  IP: Logged Chris Medley Expert Film Handler Posts: 180 From: McKinney, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 10-20-2004 01:54 PM                        Nope he's (troy) not looking to drop two levels to go to Sherman...you guys are gonna hurt (DR)Mr. Loves feelings (GM of the Sherman 7)...it almost as pretentious as "The Legacy"..sorry Paul  |  IP: Logged Chad Lindsey Film Handler Posts: 38 From: Ada, OK, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 10-20-2004 04:00 PM                     Why would it hurt Mr. Love's feelings?  |  IP: Logged Chris Medley Expert Film Handler Posts: 180 From: McKinney, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 10-21-2004 06:46 AM                        Because, he has a theater in Sherman too..albeit a dollar house..and calling it "The Sherman" implies that it is the only theater...I was really just kidding  |  IP: Logged
