San Francisco getting new movie theater at vacated Van Ness building, Mayor Lurie says

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Just in time for summer blockbuster season, San Franciscans will soon have another option for watching a movie.

Mayor Daniel Lurie announced on social media that East Coast-based Apple Cinemas will open up its first West Coast location in the Don Lee building at 1000 Van Ness Avenue.

That's the site that CGV Cinemas vacated two years ago.

Representatives for Apple Cinemas tell The Chronicle that the space is in excellent shape and it could open in as little as 30 days.
