DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — After some delays, Austin-based theater chain Alamo Drafthouse has finally announced its opening night.
The much-anticipated theater will open Oct. 28 at the new City Point development, at the intersection of Fulton Street and Flatbush Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn, the New York Times reported.
The seven-screen theater, which was originally slated to open in August, confirmed the date in a tweet posted Tuesday.

The theater announced in late August that it would be pushing back its opening date due to a series of “setbacks.”
“It’s a lot more expensive and takes a lot longer than you think to do a construction project in New York,” founder Tim League told the Times.
Like the theater’s other locations, the Brooklyn Drafthouse will provide moviegoers with a full in-theater dining menu featuring local flavors and ingredients, as well as local brews on tap and hand-crafted cocktails.
The theater, which will screen both Hollywood blockbusters and independent releases, is known for its themed movie nights and strict no-texting and no-talking policy.
Tickets will go on sale at 8 a.m. Wednesday on the theater's website, according to a Drafthouse spokeswoman.
