We Value Bloomington-Normal

March 4th, 2007 6:11 AM
BLOOMINGTON — The number of movie screens in Bloomington-Normal could double in the coming year.

Wehrenberg Theatres of St. Louis will add 14 screens to the Twin Cities’ current 27-screen movie line-up when it opens Galaxy 14 Cine in west Bloomington in early November.

Dallas-based Starplex Cinemas also has plans to open a 14-screen theater later this year or next year at the Constitution Trail Centre at Main Street and Raab Road in Normal.

So when all is said and done, Bloomington-Normal will have 55 screens at six locations.

Site preparation work for Galaxy 14 Cine is underway at the corner of Wiley and Valley View drives, near the Crossroads Center and Wal-Mart, Ronald Krueger, chairman and co-chief executive officer of Wehrenberg Theatres, said at an informational meeting Thursday.

Galaxy 14 Cine will offer stadium seating and digital technology. All rooms will have “snuggle-seats,” modeled after the Ford Mustang’s bucket seats, with armrests that couples can raise so they can sit closer together, said Ronald Krueger II, president and co-CEO of Wehrenberg Theatres.

One auditorium will have more than 500 seats and a 60-by-40-foot mega-screen, he said. Other rooms will range in size from 125 to 300 seats.  Click here for the full story.
