The two-story theater will feature first-run movies. With 73,000 sf, the theater has 12 auditoriums with 2,650 seats. A premier auditorium will also feature private viewing for up to 175 guests, with tables, food and beverage service.
The new theater is part of a $60-million project that includes new retail and restaurants. The theater replaces the Uptown Birmingham 8, a complex down the street currently showing first-run movies. This theater will be converted into an art film theater, showing foreign and independent films.
The theater opened in spite of a long contest between the city and developer Related Retail Corp. about the size of the project.
