Taking Cobb Theatres to a new level with the opening of the Cobb Countryside 12 Theatre in Clearwater, Florida the elegant movie house adds another 12 auditoriums to it's growing list of now 253 at 21 locations.  Being a progressive motion picture exhibitor, Cobb has added the exciting D-Box to this location inside the Countryside Mall. 
 
Attending the opening were over 100 invited guests including Mayor Frank V. Hibbard, Senior Vice President of Westfield Mall Clive MacKenzie, General Manager of Westfield Mall Andrea L. Boitnott, and Clearwater Councilman Paul Gibson. On hand was the owner of Cobb Theatres/CineBistro, Robert Cobb, COO Jeremy Welman, Regional Manager Guy Austin, and Cobb Countryside 12 manager Maggie DeJesus.  The cutting of the ribbon to open the new theatre preceded the stage entertainment.
 
With the fast growing demand for Real D 3D Cinema, Countryside 12 has equipped its theatres with all digital equipment and screens.  The auditoriums are all stadium seating with armchairs that have cup holders for your convenience. Innovative concession menu and design offer a wide assortment of hot food items and Coca-Cola® products, popcorn, candy and snacks. 
 
But that's not all, with the demand for even a greater experience the Countryside 12 has installed the exciting D-Box plush seating that rumble, rock and vibrate during action scenes specially designed to give the thrills and chills for a complete movie experience. For those that want to ramp up the thrill, a seat side control allows you to select different degrees of movement.  You get to pick your D-Box reserved seat at the box-office so you can lounge in the lobby or relax in the auditorium until the show starts. 
 
"We are extremely proud of this new theatre as it will offer several of the most advanced technologies and amenities to include state-of-the-art digital projection with 3D capabilities and Digital Surround sound in each auditorium," said Chief Operating Officer of Cobb Theatres, Jeremy P. Welman. "D-BOX presents a new, exciting way to experience the movies and is an ideal fit for our newest addition."
