• Movie buffs should be fired up about the Alamo Drafthouse coming to KC.

It didn’t take long for Mainstreet Theater to find a new date. Only a week after AMC Entertainment Inc. announced that it would be ending its relationship with Cordish Co., the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has revealed that it will be taking over the movie theater at 1400 Main [h/t Lost in Reviews].

The Austin-based movie chain is in the midst of a massive expansion with theaters planned in Houston; Dallas; Washington, D.C.; New York City; and San Francisco. The quirky theater made national news last year for kicking a moviegoer out for texting in the theater. When she left a voice-mail tirade about how she was treated, their mock-PSA response went viral. The Alamo Drafthouse has had a strict no-talking policy since it opened in 1997.
