I could imagine a smaller 4-screen theater forming a type of courtyard where they occasionally show a free movie or a Spurs game.
It did sound like they are planning to do something useful that with their food court area, so that's good unless they drop in a Chile's or Crab Shack.

You're right! The movie theater will be against the scrap yard--just South of the cannery building. The site plan is on the MySanAntonio article gallery.
They want to do an icehouse concept that connects onto the river and maybe a live music venue.
I would imagine signing Cinemark and Punch Bowl helped with financing, but there will be local concepts here as well. This is going to be a really special place that elevates the perception of San Antonio, in my opinion. All the renderings I've seen are stunning!
