In January 2012, Westates Theatres announced it would build a 35,000-square-foot cinema in a new development near the convention center south of St. George.   The theater complex was to feature 1,700 seats in eight auditoriums, with high-back rocking chairs, stadium seating, all digital projection, state-of-the-art digital sound, and an IMAX theater.  All screens were to be wall-to-wall and 3D-capable.
