The Omni 4 theater

About a year or so ago, a new movie theater opened up in Council Bluffs, The Star Cinema. 16 movie screens, comfy seats, lots of room, really nice. Well, there is also another theater in town called the Omni 4. It’s been around for some time. Erik and Melissa used to frequent it quite often when they lived here because it was only a few blocks from their house. Well, as with all new and bigger things, it’s downsized. When a new Wal-Mart came to Atlantic, my home town, it was only a matter of time before the laptop battery smaller department stores were either downsized or shut down. K-Mart has closed there and there’s a couple other even smaller, rare named stores that will probably not last. The Omni 4 has now become a dollar theater. For a while there, the titles on the board pass drug test were not ones I recognized, and I follow the movie scene pretty closely! Now, it’s showing “Wedding Crashers”, “War of the Worlds” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. Those were already out this past summer. It only makes sense that the Omni become a dollar theater, otherwise they would have to shut down. So, if you’re ever in CB, and are looking to go see a movie, you can either pay 8 bucks to go to the Star Cinema and sit in comfort, or you can pay a buck and see the ones that everyone else has probably already seen. The only other dollar theater in the area is in Omaha over by the old Stockyards.
