Cinemark 10 Coming Soon to Portage Crossing?

No IMAX?
After it's just announced that an eight-screen theater is closing at the plaza? Are they making boneheaded decisions to try to make the Giant Eagle two-block move look good?

Aw! Thanks for giving me credit in giving you guys the scoop on this! How nice! ;)

What theater is closing at the plaza?

Brandy Marks December 15, 2012 at 08:04 pm

LOL! Thanks! It's actually been on there for almost a month. We discovered it after learning about the plaza closing and helping our family member look for new employment.

It would be nice if Stark would get moving instead of bluffing the Administration by continually asking for more freebies such as free electricity for 10 years at Portage Crossing.Can't anybody call his bluff and get another builder to replace this master bluffer who keeps asking for more freebies. Come on City Administrators tell the Cuyahoga Falls citizens what else he is asking for besides the free electricity.
CALL HIS BLUFF OR DUMP THEM.

Not sure if this will give you a link or if you'll have to cut & paste it into your browser Janmichael Gorman, but:

I hope this theater is going to have full security and will be designed to be safe from someone with a gun or a bomb. We do not need that sort of crime here in our city. Let them go somewhere else if that is what they are looking to do. Let's design this building to know that it is as safe as any movie theater in the country. Even if people have to pay a little more for extra security to know they will be safe while they are watching their movie. My wife had a cousin that died from a terrorist bomb in a public station. Her brother had been talking to him just a few hours before he died. The problem was there were a number of legs and they were not sure which one was his. So we need to be careful about this sort of stuff. Bush closed down those terrorist schools in Pakistan. But new schools open up all the time.

Well said, Dick. Time for Stark to put up or get out, and he can take the Adminstration with him. Truby says it's not a giveaway (because the ordinance is on hold and hasn't been reviewed or voted on YET!). Referred to as a credit and/or subsidy, but not a giveaway? Two council persons gave different figures. $75,000 for 10 years, or $70,000 for 15 years. Either way, we electric users will be picking up this. The city sure didn't give me an electric subsidy when I built in the Falls!

Does Robart's son, Michael, work for Stark? I have heard that he does. Seems inappropriate to say the least.

I don't see this on Cinemark's site anymore. And although I am sad to see Plaza close; it wasn't a good theater. Sound systems were poorly maintained, would cut out or even buzz. Screen sizes were small and not clear. I drive to the Cinemark in Macedonia when seeing movies where they benefit from a nice big clear/sharp screen and clean surround sound. For a comedy or drama, I'm happy with Regal. At least their stuff isn't broken. I have another friend that will only take his family to Cinemark.
