By Abra Chouinard Rex Theater Owner Yes, summer has come and gone and the biggest question is, "oh, when is that theater going to open?" The answer, when they ship us the equipment. We are on a very long list of theaters all converting and with only a limited number of studio certified technicians approved to install the new equipment, we wait patiently until it is our turn. Once our number comes up, they ship the equipment, fly in the technicians and some weeks later (fingers crossed, old wiring system replaced with a new one that can support a computer system without the threat of frying it the first time the mill starts up) we are showing movies again! Just in the off chance that we would get pushed in their scheduling line-up (and we did), we did not tear down the old screen, so that we may still have our Annual FREE Children's Holiday Movie at 11 a.m. Friday and Saturday, December 6-7. Once installed, the new system will allow the Rex Theater to show 2D and 3D movies as well as add hearing and visually impaired equipment, which is required by federal law. We have contacted the Bonners Ferry Museum and proposed donating the antique equipment for display. To learn more, visit www.rexbonnersferry.com. |
