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.
