My understanding is that new-construction multiplexes typically run $1-1.5MM/screen for construction costs, equipment, seats, screens, etc. I don't know if this includes the land or just the building and its contents.
Obviously, you could spend less or more. Construction and equipment costs will be lower now than they were a few years ago.
Remember, too, that there is more to the cost of opening a theatre than the building itself. There will be film guarantees to pay, as well as advertising and other up-front costs of operation, and it may take a while to build a customer base.
