Friday, October 15, 2010 marked the grand opening for a new movie theater in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area of Tennessee! The Forge Cinemas at Walden's Landing in Pigeon Forge celebrated its first full day of operation on Friday by playing such movies as Jackass 3D, Life as We Know It, Red, Secretariat, and The Social Network.

According the press release issued by owner Phoenix Big Cinemas Management, the five-screen movie theater is the only one in the area to feature stadium seating and digital cinema projection in every screen. All five screens are capable of 3D presentations, and total capacity is 600 persons.

The movie theater was announced in February, and was projected for a "late summer 2010" opening, which came pretty close to being on schedule. At the time of the announcement, the theater did not yet have a name, and there was a contest to name the theater, and the winner would receive a year's worth of movie passes.
