One drug/mugging-related shooting within the first 60 days of it being opened.
The PG heroes will gravitate all the faster to a place that caters to upscale clientele.--the perfect victims.
(And its closer to PG than the mall!...easier to get back into the safety of the hood.)

Well it finally broke ground last month and it will no longer be BowTie cinema. It will be Great Escape Theatres and will have 14 screens. Hopefully it'll be done before 2012 ends. BC Stage 2 will also have a CarMax and more restaurants.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Premier U.S. Theatre Comes to Brandywine Crossing
Construction Continues as Faison Announces Commitment of Kerasotes Theatres

BETHESDA, MD – May 5, 2008 – Faison’s Northeast Retail Development group, based in Bethesda, MD, is pleased to announce the commitment of Chicago-based Kerasotes Theatre, one of the largest and best regarded theatre companies in the nation, to bring its 71,000 square-foot multiplex cinema to Southern Maryland.

Located at US 301/MD Route 5 and Chadds Ford Road in Brandywine, MD, Brandywine Crossing is the newest edition to Faison Enterprises’ commercial holdings. Serving as the regional shopping and entertainment center for a major portion of Southern Maryland, Maryland’s fastest growing region, Brandywine Crossing will occupy 750,000 square feet of retail space upon completion. Brandywine Crossing was recently recognized by Maryland’s prestigious The Daily Record as Southern Maryland’s Top Commercial Project.

Anchoring Phase II of Faison Enterprise’s Brandywine development, Kerasotes Theatres will offer trade area residents a unique entertainment experience with its state-of-the-art, luxury auditoriums and amenities. An additional and complementary exciting line of retailers, including Kobe Japanese Steakhouse Restaurant, first quality specialty shops, and a variety of national and local restaurants will open in conjunction with Kerasotes Theatres in the spring of 2010.

As its first theatre to open within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region, Kerasotes looks forward to bringing Southern Marylanders its signature ShowPlace Theatre. “We are excited to be opening our first theatre in Maryland at Brandywine Crossing,” said Dean Kerasotes, Chief Operating Officer, Kerasotes Showplace Theatres. “We are confident that our theatre’s superior technology and amenities will provide residents of the Southern Maryland area with a truly unique entertainment experience set within the region’s premier shopping destination.”

The 71,000 square foot Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatre will offer movie-goers many special amenities designed for luxury and comfort. Each of the sixteen auditoriums will feature stadium seating on eighteen-inch risers for unobstructed viewing and “Euro style” chairs with wide, fixed seat cushions, rocker style backs, and oversized flip-up cup holder armrests. State-of-the-art projection and digital sound, along with wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screens, will provide the best possible presentations.

Faison Enterprises is eager to bring Prince George’s County residents the top flight movie-going experience that Kerasotes consistently offers its audiences. “It is a pleasure and an honor to join forces with such a renowned and respected entertainment business as Kerasotes,” said Howard Biel, Senior Managing Director of Faison. “We are eagerly looking forward to working with Kerasotes to make Brandywine Crossing a very special place for Prince George’s County and Southern Maryland residents.”

Phase I of Brandywine Crossing, with an expected opening date in the fall 2008, will feature 53 acres of retail anchored by Target, Costco, and Safeway plus a 18-acre office/flex space commercial district.

Definitely a welcome addition! Too bad Waldorf couldn't pull it together! I will definitely go to the new theater!
