Sanibel Island Cinema reopens

SANIBEL ISLAND, FLORIDA -- The Island Cinema has reopened under new ownership and after an extensive five-month renovation.

During the renovation, the entire two-screen theater was completely gutted, including the electrical system, with nothing left except for the projector booth door.

Each auditorium features 60 soft, extra-wide, leather-like rocking seats, a new digital projector, nine surround-sound speakers and three ceiling fans, with new air conditioning throughout.

The Bacik family bought the theater after selling their interest in Royal Shell Vacations. The family wanted a business they could run together. The first movie screened was "Quantum of Solace."
