Malco Theatres Inc., which has a number of multiplexes in the area, is building a 12-screener in Fayetteville just down from Northwest Arkansas Mall on Joyce Boulevard. We could use more screens in Washington County, as most are a little commute north to Rogers.<\/p>\n

This new one is replacing Fayetteville’s aged Razorback 6. It’d be nice if the 6 remained, but we understand Malco’s simply replacing it. It’s harder to accept the company also is dropping the Mall Twin inside that shopping center. Indeed that’s where Scott proposes a specialty movie house go, operated by Malco but we’re just writers so we don’t care who rakes in the bucks.<\/p>\n

I agree with Scott in believing it would make a tidy profit because of our highly cultured demographic, anxious for story not slash and character not crash.<\/p>\n

Let’s write in. Contact Malco here<\/a>. Maybe you should contact executives of the mall<\/a>, too. -30-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
