After more than a year of discussions and negotiations, entertainment giant National Amusements signed a deal with the University on Friday to occupy the former Sundance Cinemas site at 40th and Walnut streets.
The half-completed theater building, which was originally supposed to be operated by Sundance, has been without a tenant since November of 2000, when Sundance pulled out of the deal following the financial demise of its partner, General Cinemas.
The theater, which will be the second in National Amusements' "Cinebridge" line, will likely open in November.
