urbanize713 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 With the residential that has developed along W. Dallas the 5 AC site is perfect for a residential tower. It would be a natural continuation and have park views. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I don't have an update but this is my go-to movie theater (about 3 to 5 times per month)...and the whole wall the former restaurant sat behind has a huge coming soon type mural touting this whole plan that has not yet happened. I too wondered what in the heck is going on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate4l1f3 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) I may be alone but I love that this theater still has a 90’s feel to it. It doesn’t feel old but it has a nostalgic feel to it for me. Edited July 17, 2019 by nate4l1f3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate4l1f3 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 8 hours ago, CrockpotandGravel said: Nostalgia works for certain theaters depending on the location of the theater, the building's architecture. River Oaks Theatre is an example of this. In my opinion, the nostalgia factor doesn't work here. It has to attract the pre-teen to 40 year old crowd, that consists of millennials and Gen-Z. Retro products, logos (Pizza Hut) and venues are making a comeback, but for this center to gain the crowds (or even a fraction of the crowds) it used to draw in '99 through the early 2000's , there has to be an update to the venue. Probably all true, but you’re talking to someone who liked the vibe of the Windchimes dollar theater on Westheimer. You can also probably guess the River Oaks Theater is my favorite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 RIDA is the developer/owner of the Marriott Marquis downtown. Brookfield is, well, Brookfield. Does this suggest a joint venture between the two? Interesting discovery: The property is owned by Innova Entertainment Investment Partners, LP, c/o Brookfield Properties. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters all that much now, as the exhibition industry is practically on life support and the chances of anyone doing a limited 70mm run in a non-repertory setting are probably between slim and none for the foreseeable future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Regal Edwards Greenway Grand Palace planned a $12 million renovation last year. This project could be far out? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Highrise Tower said: Regal Edwards Greenway Grand Palace planned a $12 million renovation last year. This project could be far out? Did this project actually start? Edwards had gotten a bit long in the tooth and needs work to be competitive with the newer complexes (compare to the Cinemark Memorial City). The needed renovations come at a time when there’s been a shift away from the Megaplexes of the 90’s. The AMC Studio 30 at Dunvale recently closed. It’s just tough to get a good number of people in the multitude of screens these theaters have. If this renovation didn’t move forward last year, I wouldn’t be shocked if the owner determined the cost of the renovation wouldn’t be worth it in the long run given the shifting tastes in cinema attendance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
