I saw on the Cinemark website that the theatre opens January 28th. I would have assumed they would have tried to push the opening for MLK Weekend because there are at least 4 big releases that weekend.

I've been to the Rave Hickory Creek several times and I personally like the longer legroom between rows and the wider seats. The sound system isn't too shabby either with DTS and DD in all of their auditoriums.

It will be an interesting battle between Rave and Cinemark. Good thing is that the customer will hopefully win in this upcoming battle.

Does anyone know if the two theatres will compete for bookings? I hope not. I hate it that Cinemark's Hollywood Theatre and UA Galaxy in Garland, Tx compete for bookings. Of the two theatres I prefer the Galaxy so it's a disappointment when a good movie goes to the Cinemark Hollywood instead of the Galaxy.

The today's Dallas Morning News has an article about retail development in Allen. The article talks about Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones new development called Star Creek at 121 in Allen located at HWY 121 and Stacy Road. This development is reported to be 500 acres and to include single family homes and a retail and entertainment district which the article says a movie theatre is planned for this site. I believe this is where Cinemark will build their rumored new theatre in Allen, Texas this year.

If the Cinemark and Rave builds are not within 2 to 3 miles of each other they may be able to play the same movie at either site. When two locations get too close to each other that nasty allocation process bumps into effect.

The only place I've seen where movie theaters within blocks of each other can play the same film is Manhattan. There may be areas in other very large cities where the same thing holds true (mainly where much of the customer traffic is on foot). Here in the middle of the country where most people travel by car, that allocation process can be a real pain.
