One of the things that has been missing from downtown is a full-time first run movie theater. This is about to change in a big way.
A new maquis will soon rise on Second Street between BoConcept and Malaga with 4 new theaters taking over the second floor of the AMLI 2 rental tower as well as a balcony with a nice view of the second street action. The new 8,000-10,000 square foot “Violet Crown” art house theaters will feature everything that movie lovers could want including:
– Digital projection
– A full bar and cocktail lounge
– Gourmet concessions
– Free validated parking
– 4 intimate 50-seat theaters
– Stadium seating
– Wide range of food options that can be ordered in the lounge and consumed in the auditoriums but without alamo-style theater food service
– Ability to reserve specific seats
A movie theater such as the Violet Crown will be a great asset for downtown — and the 2nd street district in particular — as it will
