Cinemark does own this one also, but John’s right, this one’s got some rare features to it. One of them is that it is not fully converted to digital, Rave was trying to but sold it to Cinemark before they finished. The other thing is they own the land that the theater is on, unlike most of the theaters Cinemark got from Rave, this one can be sold to anyone, whether it be kept up as a theater or just sold for the land.
This one went to Starplex because it was one of the 3 theaters sold from Rave to Cinemark that owned its own land. The other theaters all leased the land, so Rave could sell this one and the other 2 (Rave Southington, CT and one in Pennsylvania) to anyone who wanted the land. Starplex chose Berlin only, so as of right now Berlin is the only Starplex in CT.
