The general manager of SidneyB次元官网网址檚 Star Cinema says its soft opening in its new old location was a hit with audiences.

B次元官网网址淚t was busy, so we really appreciate everyone coming out,B次元官网网址 said Lindsay Pomper. She said staff received a lot of positive feedback about the movie experience as well as the theatre itself. But other reviews eclipsed those.

B次元官网网址淭he biggest thing we kept hearing is how happy people were to have us back open,B次元官网网址 she said. B次元官网网址淚t was so nice to see so many familiar faces. I think one of the special things about Star Cinema is (that) we have so many loyal customers that come out to a movie (or two) every week, so itB次元官网网址檚 really great to see them again and catch up.B次元官网网址

The theatre itself is part of the Cameo condominium complex, a mixed-use development that includes commercial space on the bottom floor and 45 residential units, ranging from 500-square-foot starter studios to 2,500-square-foot luxury penthouses.

FridayB次元官网网址檚 soft opening also marked a homecoming for the theatre as it once operated out of a space at the corner of Third Street and Sidney Avenue for more than two decades before moving to a temporary location as the site underwent re-development.

Pomper said staff are also still getting used to their new confines.

B次元官网网址淚t is such a bigger space for us and weB次元官网网址檙e still getting adjusted to the new layout and figuring out what system works best for us, so it was a bit hectic at times.B次元官网网址 But everybody was so patient and had a good sense of humour about it, she added.

B次元官网网址淥n Friday, we had so many popcorn orders that we couldnB次元官网网址檛 keep up, so instead of everyone waiting at the concession, we told them to go to their seats and weB次元官网网址檇 deliver the popcorn. One customer laughed and said that kind of thing can only happen in a small town.B次元官网网址

Pomper said the theatre is still working toward a grand opening event but is also looking beyond that as well. B次元官网网址淲e are exploring moving to selling online tickets to help manage the longer lines, so weB次元官网网址檙e getting feedback on that.B次元官网网址

Star Cinema has also heard from people asking about movies for children. Pomper said they are coming. Star Cinema will show Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile this coming weekend and DisneyB次元官网网址檚 Strange World will screen Nov. 23.
