AND NOW THE MOVIES FOLKS!

Atlas Cinemas announces the re-opening of the Midway Mall Cinemas in Elyria. The name Atlas Cinemas Midway Mall 8, the opening is planned for October 31st. Formerly operated by now defunct General Cinemas, and then by an out of town independent, Midway Mall Cinemas closed this past May. Atlas Cinemas plans to operate the existing cinema with some maintenance improvements, and upgrades in sound. All 8 screens will be open with first run movies in time for the holiday season. Atlas Cinemas plans to be more community based in operation, giving local employment to staff and management, and offering opportunities for group events and birthday parties.

Atlas Cinemas currently operates 39 all-digital screens at 3 locations; the Atlas Cinemas Lakeshore 7 in Euclid, the Atlas Cinemas Diamond Center 16 in Mentor, and the Atlas Cinemas Great Lakes Stadium 16 in Mentor. This Cleveland area independent theatre chain features such amenities as DLP digital presentation, Real D- 3D, party rooms, and stadium seating. Focusing on comfort and a family friendly atmosphere, Atlas Cinemas looks forward to expanding operations to Elyria.
