Memorial Day Weekend is fast upon us, and for moviegoers not on vacation this weekend, SIFF will be front and center. But there are celluloid developments up by Northgate, where the Regal Thornton Place Stadium 14 multiplex is opening on Friday. Two-dollar tickets were on sale earlier this week during the soft opening. Friday through Sun., May 31, there will be free popcorn and soda with your tickets. Among the 14 screens, the facility also includes an IMAX cinema. The whole monstrous new cinema is part of Northgate’s Thornton Place expansion, transit-oriented development right by Metro’s Park & Ride lot, which I recently discovered is an amazingly swift way to and from get downtown.
