From the Corpus Christi Business News, Dec. 20, 2013: NEW MOVIE COMPLEX OPENING IN CALALLEN-ROBSTOWN AREA — A local entrepreneur is investing $1 million in a four-screen, 3D cinema complex on Wildcat Drive in Calallen. Some 6,500 high school students go to school within a 25-mile radius of the planned theater, named Movies Inc. The area is a good customer pool, says owner Mark Farnsworth of Rockport. The area includes Robstown, Sinton and Odem.
The 12,000-square-foot complex will provide 580 movies fans with upholstered stadium seating for family friendly newly released movies. Movies Inc. will reflect the look of a World War II B-26 bomber that Farnsworth’s grandfather flew over Germany in World War II.
The family owned enterprise will also be family operated. While Farnsworth and his wife take care of the accounting, son Zach will take care of operations.
The theater opened on May 16, 2014.
