Muvico is moving along for April opening

muvico
Dave Collins, BID Executive Director, took a little tour of the new Muvico theater at CocoWalk the other day. He says all looks good. Muvico says they will open phase one on April 15.

Phase one is 12 movie theaters in various sizes, some theaters are quite intimate. Phase two will consist of the bar/restaurant and possibly small bowling alley, to be opened in July.

Dave says that he saw scaffolding up and around all the theaters and in three of them, the platforms were in for the stadium seating.

While it seems that work is not being done, it really isn't rocket science and it's basically a bunch of rooms with chairs and a movie screen, to put it plainly.

The City was slow with the initial permits and when changes had to be made, according to the City, the new plans with changes, were slow in being returned to the City. So it's a bit of slowness on both ends that has kept the project from moving along.

While the actual Muvico company is not involved in the project, the Muvico name will remain on the project.

Anonymous- no one said they wouldn't have foreign films. They actually are very interested in having foreign films and film festivals at their theater and have already had meetings with a few groups re: those films.
