Continuing its ongoing expansion plans, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is opening its first Florida theatre, Alamo Drafthouse Naples. The Austin-based cinema-eatery will be taking over the space from Silverspot Cinema and plans to have the theatre fully converted and open to guests by early 2024. Updates to the theatre will include premium, reclining leather seats, a revamped bar experience, and a theme celebrating cinema’s greatest golf films.
“We’re really excited not only to provide a great cinema experience for the area, but to introduce everything that makes us different from other theatres in the Sunshine State,” says Alamo Drafthouse CEO Michael Kusterman. “We can’t divulge the details yet, but we have some very fun plans for this location that are inspired by the area and many great films we love.”
In celebration of its first Florida location, Alamo Drafthouse will also be giving away a free year-long, two-person subscription to Alamo Season Pass – its monthly subscription service which entitles subscribers to one free movie per day.
The new Alamo Drafthouse Naples will be in a 33,652 square foot space in Mercato, a high-end, mixed-use retail center. It will feature 11 auditoriums updated with approximately 650 newly installed luxury recliner seats and 4K digital projection.
“Alamo will bring a unique arthouse experience to Naples and serve as a point of differentiation to any other theatre in Southwest Florida. The brand prides itself on catering to the cinephile, all the while mixing fun into moviegoing,” said Adam Schwegman, executive vice president at North American Properties.
