Cinemark is expanding beyond traditional movie theaters with a new stand-alone Gamescape Family Entertainment Center coming to Corpus Christi, Texas. The roughly 50,000-square-foot venue will be built next to the company’s existing Century 16 XD and IMAX theater at 6685 South Padre Island Drive.
Studio V Architects tells me construction is scheduled to begin soon, with completion targeted for December 2026.
The Corpus Christi location will be the third Gamescape in Texas and the first built as a fully independent facility rather than an addition to an existing theater.
