Has anyone found any new details on the Cinemark theatre that's scheduled for construction in Allen, Texas for 2005?

i'm guessing that was some sort of mix up, a theatre in allen is just plain overkill, plus cinemark has yet to give a press release to say they have plans too.

although i did see this which gives me an idea on how to get a few days off [eyes]

Cinemark’s Tinseltown Theatre in Houston to Re-Open Tonight After Being Declared Snake Free

Cinemark’s Tinseltown Theatre, located at 12920 Northwest Freeway, will re-open at approximately 7:00 pm this evening, Friday, October 1 after having been closed since early afternoon on Wednesday, September 22. The theatre was closed due to a reported sighting of a 7 to 8 foot long, yellow-colored snake by a janitor during a regularly scheduled cleaning around 4:00 am on September 22.

Cinemark asked Texas Snakes & More, a company which specializes in snake removal, to conduct a thorough investigation to determine if a snake was in the building and if so, to remove it. During the nearly 10 days that the theatre was closed, snake indicators left throughout the theatre, particularly in the auditorium where the snake was seen, revealed no snake movement. No snake skin nor fecal matter was found and the dust under the screen and in the nooks and crannies of the auditorium where the sighting took place was undisturbed. Clint Pustejovsky, owner of Texas Snakes & More, spent over 30 hours in a comprehensive search of the entire theatre and has found no snake nor any evidence of a snake.

With this assurance, Cinemark will re-open its doors this evening.

New films opening today are Shark Tale, Ladder 49 and Woman Thou Art Loosed. Also opening for the first time in this theatre are: First Daughter and The Forgotten. Other films showing at Tinseltown are: Princess Diaries 2; Hero; Cellular; Resident Evil; Mr. 3000; Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow; Wimbledon; First Daughter and The Forgotten.

From what I have just heard, it is Kinotron heads, MIT Lamphouses. MIT soundrack with CP-650's. JPL speakers with a couple of aud's with Kliptschz (sp?). More as either the booth manager posts or let's me know.

Whoever made that purchasing decision at Cinemark should be taken out back and shot in the head, multiple times, at close range, then shot again.

Kinoton heads, MIT lamphouses, Dolby CP650, etc = good

...but KLIPSCH speakers??? What a moron!

They are going to equip only two auditoriums with the Klipsch speakers. Otherwise, everything else is JBL.

You know who the purchaser is [Wink]

At least it's only two screens. Must've been an under-the-table cash deal going for him. Either that or he has truly lost his mind. Hell PEAVEY would sound better. [Razz]

Went to size up the competition tonight, its going to be a heated battle: Cinemark vs Rave. The Rave theatre actually reminds me a lot of the old Cinemark decor. Their building looks awfully small to be a 16 screen I noticed, but perhaps it was the odd layout. Not sure if I like the idea of putting the arcade in the lobby, lots of screaming kids everywhere.
