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.

“The opening of AMC Roosevelt Collection 16 has been eagerly awaited by guests in the Chicago area,” Dan Ellis, executive vice president and chief operations and redevelopment officer at AMC, said in a statement. “We’re excited to provide top-notch amenities and a wide variety of programming to the South Loop community — just in time for some of this year’s biggest blockbuster hits.”

Though not available yet, the theater will add Dolby Cinema and IMAX experiences — offering moviegoers ultra-vivid visuals and wall-to-wall screens. Construction of the Dolby Cinema and IMAX auditoriums will begin in May, the company said.

Both auditoriums are expected to open by the end of summer.
