Walker Cinemas Cinefour Theatres 2297 North Main Street Logan, Utah 84321 435 753-6444 http://walkercinemas.net/ (Before 1999) |
The Cinefour Theatres opened sometime before October 1999[1] and are owned by Kelly Walker, who owns the Walker Cinemas in Perry, and Calvin Timothy.[2] The theater is equipped with radio reciever headphones for the hearing impaired, but lacks the extra insulation necessary for THX certification.[1]
On 13 August 2004, the Cinefour Theatre held its first gaming night. A video projector and a Microsoft Xbox video game system were installed in each of the four auditoriums, allowing 16 teams to battle each other in the game “Halo” until early Saturday morning. Eight 34-inch televisions were placed in the lobby to accommodate large gaming crowds. Some contestants drove as far as Bountiful to participate.[2]
"Tonight blew our minds," owner Calvin Timothy said. "We're definitely going to keep doing this."[2]
Cinefour Theatres was one of the first theaters to play video games on a movie screen. "According to the gal at the licensing company, we're the first theater ever to license XBox with them for a theater," Timothy said. "It took an act of Congress and a blessing of God."[2]
