The Bay Theatre by Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas will open on Friday, Nov. 9, according to a spokesperson for Cinépolis.
The opening date comes well over a month after Caruso’s Palisades Village project opened on Sept. 22—and just in time for highly anticipated films during the holidays.
While aesthetically ready for the Village’s ribbon cutting, heavy construction in the days following made it clear that there was still work to be done.
Workers who were approached by locals asking for an opening date caused further confusion, with only vague announcements of “mid-October” and “early November” dates given by Cinépolis representatives.
Now, giving an exact date for the first time, Cinépolis has put an end to the rumors and new life to the excitement of the first Palisadian movie theater since the closing of the original Bay Theatre in 1978.
“The grand opening for the theater will be next Friday, Nov. 9,” a spokesperson for Cinépolis said. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is also expected to be held around that time.
The theater will feature a 3,000-square-foot lobby with five auditoriums, reclining leather seats, and a full dining and drink service.
After multiple residents protested the liquor license of the theater, Cinépolis obtained an interim permit that allows the sale of alcohol until February 2019, according to public records.
As this issue of the Palisadian-Post went to print, details of what movies will be screened on opening day were not yet available.
