New Theater Set to Open
A new 16-screen Cinema de Lux movie theater is emerging in what was, in part, a vacant field by Florence Mall and Interstate 75. The theater, the first new screens in Florence since 1976, is scheduled to open in mid-July.
Work crews have completed the buildings shell to allow work to continue through the winter. The theater will seat up to 3,000 people and house a restaurant with a full bar, a luxurious lobby with a piano, rocking, reclining seats, a food court and waiters who bring food to the seats. Some theaters will even offer reserved, extra wide, leather seats.
National Amusements, which owns Showcase Cinemas, has said that the Showcase Cinemas on Mall Road and another company owned nine-screen theater in Erlanger will remain open even after the new theater is complete.
This sounds like it’s going to be great. The theatres up here in Canada never have a bar or restaurant.
