The Galaxy Grandscape in The Colony, Texas opened to the public August 28, 2020.

Located about 23 miles north of downtown Dallas, the theater is in the Grandscape "outdoor entertainment, dining and shopping destination" just south of the Sam Rayburn Tollway. It's the second Texas location for Galaxy Theatres, which has locations in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Washington.

Each of the fifteen auditoriums feature reclining chairs that will allow moviegoers to enjoy the 4K laser-powered image on the screens. One room is a Sony Digital Cinema™ auditorium, which has dual laser projectors and a Dolby Atmos sound system. Another auditorium is branded as "DFX" which has "luxurious lounge chairs" in front of a screen lit by dual laser projectors and backed up with a Dolby Atmos sound system. The DFX screen can show 3D presentations as well.

Because going the movies wouldn't be the same without food, and most new theaters offer a wide array of food options, you won't be disappointed when you see appetizers, entrees, and pizza on the menu, as well as a full-service bar that can serve a beer, wine, or cocktail upon request. The press release also mentions that traditional snacks are available, including Orville Redenbacher popcorn popped in O’Dell’s coconut oil and topped with real butter.

Galaxy Theatres is participating in the CinemaSafe program, which is a set of health and safety protocols for movie theaters. The press release mentions that staff will have temperature checks, there is a site-wide mask mandate, and social distancing guidelines. An air filtration system has been installed, and additional air purifiers are placed throughout public areas.

With this addition, moviegoers in the area will have plenty of options. We count 20 nearby theaters, including the Studio Movie Grill - The Colony, the Cinemark West Plano and XD, and others.

To see what's playing and when, please visit the Showtimes page for the Galaxy Grandscape. It appears that the theater is marking shows in its Sony Digital Cinema auditorium with "DC" in the notes, but the DFX screen is not indicated at this time. We'll work on clarifying that if we can.
