Cinemark Holdings, Inc., one of the world’s leading motion picture exhibitors, announces plans to construct a Century branded,10-screen, all-digital movie theatre that will feature Luxury Lounger reclining chairs in all auditoriums in Altoona, IA, a suburb of Des Moines.
The new multiplex will be located at the intersection of Interstate 80 and NE Hubbell Ave, on Adventureland Dr., across from Prairie Meadows. The new theatre is scheduled to open in the fall of 2015, just in time for the holiday movie blockbuster season.
