It has not been easy for residents of the beach town to go to the cinema in recent years.
That changes this week.
Satellite Cinemas opens Friday in an unofficial grand opening after about five years of being without a movie theater on Brevard Beach. The previous theater at the same location as Satellite Cinemas was forced to close after being badly damaged in a storm.
“We’re excited to bring it back to the community,” said Dean Theodorous, one of the four partners who own the independent Satellite Cinemas. “It seems like it’s definitely needed on the barrier islands.”
Where is Satellite Cinemas located?
1024 Highway A1A, Satellite Beach
The official opening ceremony will take place in September.
The nearest theaters are all about 30 minutes away.
What amenities do Satellite Cinemas offer?
The cinema, originally built in the 1950s, has been completely renovated and equipped with new toilets and a kiosk.
There are four separate theaters, all with new seating. Each theater has a mix of standard rocking seats and luxury recliners. There is a $2 surcharge for the luxury recliners, which are fixed seats.
The seats without reclining function are general seats and are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
Customers receive free refills when purchasing popcorn and lemonade.
