Renderings of new movie theater

Richmond residents have seen the huge banner for Movieland, a new movie theater on North Boulevard from Bow-Tie Partners. Now, they can get their first look at the interior of the 17-screen theater, set to open in early 2009.

Several renderings have been posted on the Bow-Tie Cinemas website, showing the main lobby of the massive multiplex.

NY-based Bow-Tie Partners is calling the development "Movieland at Boulevard Square." The 52,000 square-foot theater will feature 2,850 seats, with 12,000 sf set aside for specialty retail and an additional 6,000 sf available for a detached restaurant.

BizSense first announced the story when the banner went up last month. The theater will also do away with on-screen advertising.
