Century theatres evanston

The Century 12 Evanston movie theatre, century theatres evanston, which has been closed for almost a year, will not reopen under its current ownership, city officials told the Evanston RoundTable Monday. Cinemark and its ownership had been fighting a legal battle over the lease exit clause since about the start of the pandemic, officials said.

AMC said showtimes for Wednesday and through this weekend will be posted online. In its news release, AMC said construction continues on the soon-to-be-remodeled concession area, which when complete will also include a MacGuffins adult beverage concept. On Monday, RoundTable staff visited the theater complex ahead of the reopening announcement and captured a sneak peak into the lobby. RoundTable staffers Ian Mitchell, news editor, and Evan Girard, our operations manager, left no stone unturned checking it out. Mitchell found the website would not yet let you buy tickets yet, and Girard grabbed her coat and camera and headed over there. Photos below:.

After a two-year hiatus from a run of more than two decades, AMC Evanston 12 — previously known as the Century 12 owned by Cinemark — finally reopened its doors last November, much to the excitement of Chicago-area residents and students. For Marshall, entering into a dark auditorium and watching the trailers for upcoming movies is a nice getaway. She said she had a tradition of going to the movies at least once a week after work in the afternoons before the theater closed down in early Marshall said she was nostalgic about how Evanston used to have four movie theaters and was glad when she heard the theater was reopening. He said he now wants to make it a place Evanston residents can be proud of. Edwin de Kay, an AMC crew member who has worked there since before it closed down, said not much feels different since the reopening. Although some renovations were made, de Kay said these transitions are not related to the pandemic. For example, while the theater itself is half the size it used to be with a scaled-down concessions stand, this can be attributed to AMC only buying half of the building — the other half is set to be converted into an indoor trampoline park called SkyZone. She also enjoys having access to the theater nearby instead of needing to Uber or take a bus, as well as the fact that there are discounts on Tuesdays. Email: [email protected].

The theaters have been closed for nearly two years. Goltz said his firm has also reached agreement with another company, Sky Zone, to operate one of its flagship trampoline and active entertainment parks in what used to be the south side of the theater, where Century had another six screens for showing independent or art-themed movies. That portion of the theater space will be combined with the second floor of the former Urban Outfitters space. Also with younger users in mind, GW Properties has signed a deal with Belong Gaming, a company based in London that operates e-gaming arenas, Goltz said.
