It's insane how much better central Dallas's movie theater options are than Houston's. From still having their Angelika, to having a huge brand new Alamo Drafthouse on the outskirts of downtown, to Inwood Theater and Highland Park theater, to Texas Theatre, to Magnolia Theater, a nice dolllar theater in Irving, half dozen decent mall movie theaters within 15 miles of downtown. central Houston has... River Oaks playing movies only for senior citizens and the AMC8 thats a shallow shell of its former sundance which was a hollow shell of its former Angelika and that absurd iPic, and then Edwards Greenway with its paid parking garage. It sucks. Even the burbs of Dallas have Alamo Drafthouses everywhere! I don't understand why Houston seems to be behind in this area. Heck, downtown L.A. is getting an Alamo Drafthouse before inner Loop Houston. But I doubt this new theater near the Heights will be an iPic. They tend not to be build too many in one market. I believe they only have two in the much more populous L.A. area, for example, and those are located in Westwood and Pasadena, roughly 30 miles apart.

brunsonpark08 13 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I’m thinking studio movie grill or a boutique Cinemark like the woodlands market street. A six screen or so playing a mix of hits and art house. Praying to the heavens it’s an Alamo Drafthouse. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BillyBreedlove 26 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Especially since they just got an Alamo in downtown LA! https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-ca-mn-alamo-drafthouse-los-angeles-20190715-story.html It's like they're just trying to play with us. 😧 Seriously, the Heights project seems to be the kind of project Alamo would be interested in. If you look at all the new Alamos in DFW, they're all in newly built, mixed-use developments like the The Irving/Las Colinas one whichis in the same development with the Toyota Music Factory, a major concert venue, and a ton of restaurants/bars. The LA one is in something called The Bloc. I can't imagine a more perfect scenario for Alamo to set up shop inside the Loop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There would be a LLC for a Alamo Drafthouse in Lower Heights District by now, but there isn't. I don't know which movie theater is opening here, but I'd like to see a Star Cinema. IMO, it's superior to Studio Movie Grill. Cinemark recently debuted a boutique-style movie theater in the Dallas area, Cut! by Cinemark. The new concept is planned for Houston too. Maybe it will open here. Star Cinema is like a more approachable iPic... I like the one in Sugarland. I think this will be a big branded theater, perhaps as you suggested - a boutique sub brand of a big theater company. Cinemark would make the most sense. There are a lot more people with higher spending abilities moving in the area. Can't wait to see how the land is developed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X.R. 1269 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 This looks great. It seems like every time I drive past there for the last few weeks, something new has popped up, seems like they are going up fast. While we all wish for that movie theatre, so does basically everyone in a 5-6 mile radius, which means that thing will be packed all day, every day. If its a newer-boutique style place, or a Star Cinema/Studio Movie Grill I can see this being Target 2.0, where you're there and you're like "this is the busiest place I've been to all day." If the right big-box retail goes in, its going to be shenanigans on the weekends. I can't wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post EllenOlenska 1225 Posted August 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Right when I move out of the Camden at Oxford they make a perfectly walkable movie theater. Actually, I moved to Kalamazoo to get a PhD in literature. Kalamazoo is a cool town but it's sure not Houston. Because of course Houston is a giant city and also because I was born and raised there and thereabouts. I actually wanted to say this, too: that I appreciate this forum and the good work it does, as well as the conversations and of course the pictures. I've lived in Texas all my life an am a little sentimental right now, and so I'm going to need all y'all's updates. Edited August 10, 2019 by EllenOlenska 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
