Tallinn to Be Given 3rd Major Cinema Next Year
Developers of a new shopping mall on the St. Petersburg highway in Tallinn announced today that the facility will include a seven-screen cinema as part of its 12,000-square-meter entertainment and leisure center.
The cinema, when it opens, will be Tallinn's third multiplex after the 11-screen Coca-Cola Plaza and the seven-screen Solaris Kino.
Building permits have been issued for the 130,400-square-meter shopping center, which will be adjacent a major intersection near Tallinn Airport. The complex should open in the second half of 2014, Allan Remmelkoor, a member of the board of developer Pro Kapital Grupp, told rus.err.ee.
A company statement said that the cinema's operator was a new player expanding to the Estonian market and that its name is not yet being disclosed.
In addition to the larger cinemas, Tallinn is home to two small, art-house cinemas and the 1960s-era Kino Kosmos, which is currently closed.
