After months of uncertainty, Alamo Drafthouse has announced a new location for its first-ever Arizona cinema.
Originally, the Texas-based movie theater chain, which offers films, events, booze, and food, had planned to open at The Row in downtown Chandler. But those plans fell through in October 2015. Alamo representatives announced that they would seek out another metro Phoenix spot for the theater, but at the time they didn’t specify where in the Valley they wanted to open.
Now, Alamo Drafthouse is in the planning stages of opening a 9-screen theater, bar, and restaurant at the mixed-use Chandler Crossings development at Arizona Avenue and Chandler Heights Road, which will include other restaurants, retailers, and a Basis Charter School.
The cinema will include some 975 seats, from which moviegoers can take in Alamo’s programming of new films, classic and independent flicks, and signature programming, like Terror Tuesday and Weird Wednesday.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
The theater is slated to open in some time in 2016.
