- Mickey Makes an IMAX Return at New Edwards
|
- Week of December 24-30, 1999: HOUSTON BUSINESS JOURNAL
|
- Houston's venue of the Disney release of Fantasia/2000 is the new Edwards Marq*E IMAX Theatre, Houston's only IMAX screen not attached to a museum or educational facility.
- The Edwards IMAX is debuting New Year's Day at the corner of Silber and the Katy Freeway, one week after the Edwards 23-screen traditional cinema opens on Christmas Day.
-
- The theaters anchor the new 325,000-square foot Marq*E Houston Entertainment Center that's been under construction for months about half a mile outside the Loop 610 on Interstate 10 West. The holiday openings will be replete with Jim Carrey and Arnold Schwarzenegger look-alikes handing out Hollywood treats - from movie posters and t-shirts to soundtrack CD's and Pokemon trading cards.
-
- The Edwards IMAX is the Houston area's third behind the Museum of Natural Science location and the second one in Glaveston's Moody Garden complex.
-
- With the Marq*E construction wrapping up, Edwards Theater circuit has made significant Houston inroads. Edwards, which is the nation's oldest movie theater chain, opened its first Houston movie house just a couple of months ago. Tickets for the Edwards Grand Palace Stadium 24 Cinemas went on sale Oct. 22 at the corner of the Southwest Freeway and Weslayan in Greenway Plaza.
