Nessun tag per questo post.Local movie buffs who’ve ventured far and wide to witness the spectacular brilliance of giant IMAX screen movies will soon be treated to the experience closer to home.
Penn Cinema has signed an agreement with IMAX Corp. to show movies in a new 20,000-square-foot complex in Manheim Township that will feature two restaurants, Penn Ketchum, Penn Cinema managing partner, said Monday.
Ketchum said Penn Cinema will build a 425-seat IMAX theater that is flanked by two 5,000-square-foot restaurants. The new $5 million project, to be built on the east side of the existing theater off Airport Road, is on a four-acre parcel of land that is leased from Lancaster Airport.
Construction is set to begin this summer, and the theater is scheduled to open by November, in time for the premier of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I” (or Harry Potter 7), Ketchum said.
Ketchum said that customers have clamored for the IMAX experience, which will feature mind-blowing digital sound in both 3-D and 2-D movies beaming from a 6-story wraparound screen.
