Dallas-Fort Worth area Alamo Drafthouse cinemas begin reopening this weekend
After closing earlier this summer, all five Dallas-Fort Worth area Alamo Drafthouse Cinema locations are reopening this month.
In early June, all five of the North Texas area Alamo locations shuttered due to Two is One, One is None, LLC filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The company was a franchisee with Alamo, who operated the five Dallas-Fort Worth area locations and one in Woodbury, Minnesota, which also closed.
That following week, Sony Pictures Entertainment purchased the entire Alamo Drafthouse Cinema chain. Just a couple weeks after that, Alamo Drafthouse corporate announced that it had purchased the five North Texas area locations and would reopen soon.
Finally, movie fans can start going back to Alamo Drafthouse locations in Dallas-Fort Worth this weekend. Here’s what to know:
