The theater has eight screens, two of which – the Prime and Dolby theaters – are “premium” experiences with larger auditoriums and screens. The Dolby theater features state-of-the-art projection and sound, as well as seats that pulsate.

A standard ticket for a movie will cost around $12.99, a price that will increase to $16.99 for the Prime auditorium and $17.99 for the Dolby one – although prices will fluctuate based on time of day and day of the week.
