An opening date has not been announced, but Empire Theatre – a new eight-screen movie theatre in The Columns II on Vann Drive – nears completion.
NOTE: NEWS/TALK 101.5 FM will participate in the GREAT MOVIE GIVEAWAY. Listeners can win free tickets to the opening of the theatre.
All seats will be reserved seating. When you order a ticket – even days in advance – you select exactly which seat you want in the auditorium you want to sit in.
At the concession stand, Empire Theatre will offer an expanded menu not generally found in most theaters.
Empire Theatre will offer pub style concessions with french fries, pizzas, Orville Redenbacher Popcorn, chicken strips, mozzarella sticks, soft pretzels, Coke products and local craft beers.
All seats at the new theatre will recline, but the “Empire Theatre X-perience” will be the only auditorium in the Jackson area to offer recliners with armrests that will raise between two recliners to allow more space between the customers.
The “ETX” auditorium features the only NEC laser projection system in the state of Tennessee.
The 11.1 premium digital sound system will feature immersive surround sound, including ceiling speakers.
The “ETX” auditorium will offer both 2D and 3D films.
The screens will be wall to wall and the digital sound system will be of the highest quality.
