This was originally the General Cinema Point Nasa Cinema 6, opened 8/29/1986.
As per their website districttheatres.com this cinema has closed permanently.
Grand opening ad posted.
Transwestern Property built the Point NASA Shopping Center at Interstate 45 and NASA Road 1 in 1986. General Cinema was on board as an original tenant with its new 1,450 seat General Cinema Point NASA 6. Free popcorn was offered on opening day, August 29, 1986 which must have thrilled mascot Popcorn Bob. General Cinema closed here on Labor Day, September 4, 2000, and Popcorn Bob cried. But Star Cinema Grill (& Lone Star Drafthouse) reopened here as a drink and dine-in theater on April 15, 2005 cheering Bob up considerably. (The “& Lone Star Drafthouse” was truncated after July 15, 2007.) Star closed late in 2015 moving the operation to the Baybrook Mall.
But Star came back installing luxury lounger seating and a locally-sourced menu including 60% South Texas beers as the more intimate and chic District Theatres. Auditorium seating count was reduced to 45 for the smallest house and 175 for the largest auditorium. Reviews were stellar and Point NASA had never looked better. District Theatres closed here on March 16, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Star reopened its District on August 28, 2000 only to close again February 4, 2021 due to lack of good films and directing folks to its Baybrook Mall location.
On June 18, 2021, Star reopened the District. Less than three months later was the 21st Anniversary of General Cinema’s closure of the Point NASA Cinema 6 turned District 6. To commemorate that solemn moment, District Theatres observed a moment of silence following evening showtimes of September 4, 2021. Unfortunately, that moment of silence has continued to the present day. Popcorn Bob is still sobbing quietly.
