New MOA Cinema Features Leather Recliners, And Really Cheap Seats

BLOOMINGTON, MN — Movie theatre chain CMX Cinemas announced Wednesday the grand opening of its new location at the Mall of America will be held Friday, May 4. The cinema will replace "Theatres at Mall of America," which abruptly closed in December 2016.

The new cinema boasts a fine dining and cocktail experience, including:

• An in-house pizza station
• A burger and shakes destination
• A delicatessen offering cheese and charcuterie platters, market-fresh salads, and gourmet deli sandwiches
• A "popcorn lab"
• A bar with specialty cocktails, wine and spirits

The 64,000-square foot, 13 screen theatre will feature three auditoriums. All theatres will feature reserved seating in oversized leather recliners with a swivel table.

"Our guests will be astounded by the new movie-going experience that will satisfy all family members’ preferred food and drink selection," Frank Stryjewski, COO of CMX Cinemas, said in a statement. "This is not your typical movie theatre; it’s a redefined cinema experience."

Tickets at CMX locations in other parts of the country go as high as $25 to $27, reports the Star Tribune. However, admission for guests in the Twin Cities will range from $5 to $14.
