Page "Omaha, Nebraska" Paragraph 36

Built in 1962, Omaha's Cinerama was called Indian Hills Theater.

Its demolition in 2001 by the Nebraska Methodist Health System was unpopular, with objections from local historical and cultural groups and luminaries from around the world.

The Dundee Theatre is the lone surviving single-screen movie theater in Omaha and still shows films.

A recent development to the Omaha film scene was the addition of Film Streams's Ruth Sokolof Theater in North Downtown.

The two-screen theater is part of the Slowdown facility.

It features new American independents, foreign films, documentaries, classics, themed series, and director retrospectives.

There are many new theaters opening in Omaha.

In addition to the five Douglas Theatres venues in Omaha, two more are opening, including Midtown Crossing Theatres, located on 32nd and Farnam Streets by the Mutual of Omaha Building.

Westroads Mall has opened a new multiplex movie theater with 14 screens, operated by Rave Motion Pictures.
