Kenner Movie Theaters
Pictures taken Sunday, October 17, 2010.
Hollywood Cinemas 9. I can't remember what this theater was when it opened (what chain). I remember is it the first theater I ever saw with digital sound. The manager came down and gave a presentation before we watched the midnight screening of Jurassic Park.
Right now it is the only operating theater in Kenner, La. Pretty much the only place to watch Bollywood films in the New Orleans Metro Area that I know of. Problem is the theater is absolutely horrible on the inside with way too small chairs, disrepair, and just plain dirty.
For awhile they had up signs of the renovations they were going to make to the place, but it never happened. I have heard different stories for why the renovations didn't happen. I know the Solomon Family (who renovated and own The Theaters in Canal Place) had been talking last year about putting a theater out in the same area by Esplanade Mall, but so far nothing has come of it.
The old United Artists theater. Again, used to be a pretty nice place, but was shut down. I have always wanted to see someone turn it into a Brew And View/Alamo Drafthouse type place (sort of like the Alamo Drafthouse which was by our last apartment in Austin, TX which had a nice mix of art films and regular studio releases).
