New Panoramic Movie Screen In Chicago Suburbs Is State's First

ADDISON, IL — Film lovers in the Chicago area can now see the movies in a 270-degree panoramic experience.

Marcus Addison Cinema is home to the region’s first ScreenX multi-projection cinema technology, which extends select movie scenes onto the left and right walls of the auditorium for audiences, “with key cinematic moments literally surrounding them,” according to a news release from Marcus Theatres.

The Addison theater marked the launch of ScreenX with a viewing of Marvel’s “Thunderbolts*” on Tuesday for rewards members and guests. The first public showings start Thursday.

“With the growing success of SCREENX, we are thrilled to introduce yet another innovative way to experience the sights, sounds, and emotions found only on the big screen,” Marcus Theatres President Mark Gramz said in the news release.

ScreenX launched in New Berlin, Wisconsin, in 2023 and is expanding to Columbus, Ohio, and the Minneapolis area.

Tickets for the 6 p.m. ScreenX showing of “Thunderbolts*” on Thursday in Addison are $18.25 each for general admission.
