Movie Theaters in San Antonio...

[TheWriter]

Many of you may not know this but 7 new movie theaters are either under construction or planned for in San Antonio and all should be up and running by late 2005/early 2006. The except is the Santikos’ theater being built next to The Shops at La Cantera, which should be done in the fall.

5 on the North side, 1 on the far west side, and 1 on the South side. However, the eastside has yet to have one nor are there any planned. Neither in the inner Eastside nor the far east side in the Kirby or Converse area. I don't know many of you have been to the far east side of the city, but I have many friends on that side of town (Foster Road area) and I still don't understand why there is no movie theater in the east side. The nearest one is in Live Oak (Regal Live Oak) but that's at I-35 and 1604. Have any of you seen the growth in the East Central/China Grove area of town?

Why has the far east side not been built a theater? I can understand the inner east side a bit with the AMC Rivercenter but past 410, no theater... weird.

[ididnotnothat]

The North East does need a theatre in the Foster Road area or on FM 78 in Converse.
There is plenty of developement out in that area and that Super Wal-Mart has enough traffic too support a theatre.

[SpursWoman]

Actually, The Galaxy...while not as flashy as it used to be and doesn't show quite as many shows, is much closer than Live Oak to the Foster Road area.

But one out that way, even a smaller one wouldn't be a bad idea.

negative, they should stop all development in that shithole that is converse.

[TheWriter]

Why is it a shithole?

Doesn't Judson High have like 7,000 students?

Reason why they're building that new high school.

[MannyIsGod]

If they level everything in the east side (except the SBC center) maybe they might consider it.
MAN KNOWS THA DEAL. THEY DONT WANNA BUILD ANY THEATRES OR STORES ON THA EAST SIDE CUZ THEN IT WILL BE JUST ONE MORE PLACE FOR THA EASTSYDAS TO ROB.

[atlfan25]

Because of test marketing research....

Obviously they do not think they can make money in that area, or believe me, there would be new theaters there...simple as that.

[JoeChalupa]

negative, they should stop all development in that shithole that is converse.

Well I live in that shithole that you call Converse and love it. I don't usually go to the movies so movie theatres are not a major concern to me anyways.
But I do like the Forum and the Live Oak Theatre, the HEB and Wal-Mart so we've got everything we need.

[samikeyp]

Jim is right...its all about the green. Sad but true.

[JoeChalupa]

There is plenty of green on the North East.
Then again I'm one of those cheap guys who won't drop $8 to see a movie or $4.00 for popcorn.
Netflix for me.

[Clandestino]

I Hope the movie theaters fall on their faces. Do we realy need that many ANYWHERE?

why do you hate businesses?

[JoeChalupa]

I'm surprised Wal-Mart hasn't put a theatre in their Super Wal-Mart.

[Jimcs50]

Going to movies is so much better than watching at home. I just expect to spend $30 for us to go out to see a movie, I think I get my money's worth.....unlike the 300 bucks I wasted at the Cotton Bowl. :cuss

[JoeChalupa]

I disagree. I think watching movies at home is so much better.
I can pause it when I have to go, can control the volume and I always get the best seat in the house.
I don't have to pay $5 for popcorn or $5 for a beverage and if the urge arises, I can let one rip without even thinking about it.

[Shelly]

I can let one rip without even thinking about it.

And how does your family feel about that one? :lol

[Useruser666]

And how does your family feel about that one? :lol

He said he has the best seat in the house, so that obviously means he watches movies in the bathroom.

They think it stinks.

I know, I just can't drop that much jack on a freakin' movie.

[JoeChalupa]

Am I the only cheap bastard in here?





Or just the only one who will admit it?



And besides, when I do have money, I spend baby!!

[SpursWoman]

I don't know if you're the only one.......I usually go to matinees and sneak candy or drinks in my purse.

I have one purse that will hold a whole 12 pack of beer....or a 6 pack in a big ziploc bag with ice.

[CrazyOne]

Joe, I think you have an idea worth exploring. Open up a small theatre in the big Walmarts and charge a couple bucks to watch some animated feature so the parents can shop in peace. It might be worthwhile. Don't know who you would go to with that idea, but it might work.

[SequSpur]

I only go to movies to see shit blown up.

The rest can be rented from bb.

[TheWriter]

I could only find renderings for two of the seven planned theaters.


The Santikos Granada 16 on Potranco Road/1604 in the far West side:

The AMC 24 or 30 (They've still to decided) planned for the new Park North Plaza that is going to be built on the Central Park Mall site:

Why is this sad? You think businesses should go and do every project that gives them warm fuzzies?

[3rdCoast]

Park North Plaza - when is this shyt gonna open , thanks for the renderings, my night is now complete :hat

[MosesGuthrie]

bout time they did something at the old central park mall site....sweet. traffic will be a bitch though.

[TheWriter]

The 21 screen Santikos Palladium theater that is being built for The Rim. A new mega development 17 miles northwest of downtown across the freeway from another currently being built development, The Shops at La Cantina, which itself is going to build a 12 screen AMC theater.

http://www.santikos.com/images/palladium-night.jpg

[Kori Ellis]

So this will be built across 1604 from the Shops of La Cantera?

It looks nice and it's super close to our house.

[TheWriter]

So this will be built across 1604 from the Shops of La Cantera?

Yeah. At The Rim.

Which is going to be a really big development with retail, office, hotels, housing, a mini riverwalk, etc.

When totally finished, it will have apartments, a mall, hotels, rowhouses, single homes, a open air lifestyle center like The Quarry anchored by Bass Pro, a town center, a restaurant row with Leon Creek turned into a mini Riverwalk and a this theater.

And then AMC is building a relatively small 12 screen theater just across from Santikos at The Shops.

Santikos will have theirs up by Thanksgiving, AMC won't have theirs up until early 2006.

I really like Santiko's theaters over the big chains.

He owns his own land that he builds on so he doesn't charge a arm and a foot on tickets and stuff. Also, no damn commericals during the previews!

[Jimcs50]

Speaking of movies....go see Hitch on Friday...it looks like it will be great.

Even you, cheap bastardette.

Klandestino would say that no one will go there because that's where the black folks live, and it's too SCARY. :wow

[MannyIsGod]

I'm not sure anyone here will care about this, but I've made a new thread in the politics forum because of a conversation I had about these developments this evening.

It's interesting to note how laws were basicaly ignored during the development over the recharge zone and the only thing reported is how great the damn bass shop and new movie theater are going to be.

Right

Anyhow, it's political so I put it in the politics forum.

[TheWriter]

This just in: Add another movie theater. This time a Santikos along 281 and 1604. Where there is already the Regal Northwoods 14.


Along Loop 1604 and U.S. 281, on the northeast corner, Santikos Development is preparing for a 100-acre campus, called the Legacy. It will combine a theater, specialty and big-box stores, as well as office and residential units.
http://www.mysanantonio.com/business/stories/MYSA021305.4N.EORetail.9631f903.html

This now puts the number of theaters currently under construction or planned and to be completed within two years to 9 theaters.

All these new movie theaters planned and current ones, but funny we don't have one of those Tinsel town ones that austin, corpus, houston and dallas have.

[TheWriter]

All these new movie theaters planned and current ones, but funny we don't have one of those Tinsel town ones that austin, corpus, houston and dallas have.

Because we have Santikos, which, those other cities and every other city in the US does not have the privilege of having.

Santikos >> Most other national or local theater chains.

[davi78239]

thanks, writer.

[TheWriter]

Also Davi,

TinselTown is owned by CineMark.

San Antonio has two CineMark theaters.

However, Santikos >>> CineMark

Looks like the Cielo Vista with eight more trees in front and Romanesque type columns ornamenting it.

Is our movie theatre to population ratio greater than any other city in America??
