Chicago, IL: Movie Theater at Roosevelt Collection Returning Soon [Mar 7, 2025]
So glad that it’s reopening. It’s a great location.
Supposedly they’re going to be getting both a Dolby Cinema screen and a true IMAX with Laser screen. I’m thinking the IconX screen is going to be the Dolby Cinema one. No word on whether the IMAX with Laser screen is also going to be 15/70, but I highly doubt it.
Reopens with 5 screens this Friday. 14 of the 16 screens will be fully operational starting May 2. #1 and #2 are on track to reopen at the end of the summer as a Dolby Cinema and laser IMAX respectively.
