New in town. Near UTSA/La Cantera Area.

I've been to the AMCs and even the huge "Palladium" thing.
Pretty sweet.

Now, where are all the cheap dollar theaters in S.A.?
Which ones are your favorite.

There used to be one in Ingram Square but that area has changed. I think the Cinemark is still there off the 410 between Bandera and Babcock.

Blockbuster and NetFlix have been the death of the dollar theater. It used to be that there was a clear cycle: first run, dollar, video. Now companies rush the DVD out maybe a month or two after first run. I think there might be one or two dollar theaters in all of san antonio.

The only Cinemark left is the Cinemark 16 off of 410 and Evers. The Cinemark 9 at the old McCreless was demolished last week.

Plans are to build another theater. As for whether it'll be a first run theater or another dollar theater is currently unknown.

Is the rumor of an HEB Plus to be built too true?

Dinner and a movie all in one, for under $80 is pretty cheap though.

410 and evers is the last one, but I did hear the one at McCreless is going to be rebuilt to what I thought was going to be another $1 theatre.

410 and evers is a dump, but it's the only one left.

A first run theatre would be nice, but I guess it wouldn't do too well in that area anyways.

A first run is going in at Brooks City-Base.

Yes, that will anchor the new shopping center there.

only thing dollar theatres are used for anymore are for highschoolers to go to when they're skipping and finding the empty one so they can fuck.

im just saying.

So the HEB on Fair and S New Braunfels will be closed down I assume? When is all this supposed to be ready, because it seems the construction just jumped into gear a couple of months ago and they're making progress quick.

The new theater at the former McCreless mall site will be a first run theater. Everything should come online this upcoming summer of 08.
