AMC Theaters will open its newest theater in the South Loop Friday.
The AMC Roosevelt 16 location will open in the Roosevelt Collection retail complex, replacing the former ShowPlace Icon Theatre that closed last summer.
Tickets are now on sale for shows beginning Friday, the company announced Wednesday. Fourteen of the 16 auditoriums are expected to be open by May 2.
The theater has power-reclining seats, which guests can reserve ahead of the show. There will also be a full concessions menu and bar serving beer, wine and cocktails, according to AMC.
“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.
