The Century Boulder in Boulder, Colorado opened its doors on Friday, August 17th, 2007 for its first shows and the crowds were waiting! After a 10-month delay, the theater's 16 screens were lit up with the sights and sounds of the industry's current fare.

Theater executives wouldn't say how many people had tickets torn on opening day. But the longer-than-expected wait for the new cinema didn't appear to hamper the enthusiasm of eager movie-goers.
