New cinema expands dollar-theater options

The University Mall Cinemas was reopened as a discount theater on 4 April 2003 by Don Clifton, who has 17 years of experience operating theaters in Washington, California, New York and Virginia. The theater has four screens with Dolby Stereo sound and more than 1,000 plush seats. Because the new University Mall Cinemas is privately owned, instead of run by a nation-wide theater chain, it can offer special events like old movies and kids' movies over the summer.
