Paul Glantz, Chairman of Emagine Entertainment, noted “while some competitors are closing and others struggle to play catch-up, Emagine remains firmly committed to providing its guests with the finest moviegoing experience possible. We are resolved to continually enhance the quality of the theatrical experience. Nothing beats watching a blockbuster film on a 94 foot screen from the comfort of a heated reclining chair.”
The planned expansion will have to be approved by Westland, Canton Township and Wayne County. With the addition of the two new screens at the Canton / Westland location, Emagine affiliates will operate 253 movie screens at 20 locations.
A Grand Opening celebration of Emagine’s Super EMAX will take place Thursday, December 19th, with an official ribbon cutting at 7:00 p.m., which is open to the media. The first paid ticketed showing open to the public in the Super EMAX auditorium will commence at 7:30pm with STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER.
Special engagement adult Super EMAX tickets, like those for STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER, will be priced at $10.00 for matinees and $15.00 for shows starting after 6:00 p.m. Tickets are available at www.emagine-entertainment.com, at in-theatre lobby kiosks, the box office, and on Emagine’s Smartphone app.
With the addition of the new screen at its Canton/Westland location, Emagine Entertainment, Inc.’s affiliates operate 128 movie screens at 11 locations.
