New multiplex opening in Chicago’s South Loop area

I saw ‘Nine’ here just recently; it’s a a very fine theater, with a very attentive staff. The auditorium I was in (No. 16) was large by contemporary standards, with a large wall-to-wall, slightly curved screen, sharp projection, and great sound. No pre-show ads. There was a staff person at each auditorium entrance and others stationed throughout the complex who were very welcoming. The only minus, which may be temporary, is the location, which is in what seems to be in a rather out-of-the way place; I am sure that right now, many cabbies wouldn’t know how to take you there. There is no marquee and at least as of now, very little exterior signage at all. Right now the main entrance is about halfway down a driveway off of Roosevelt. The entry looks like that of an office building. After entering you are greeted by a staff member, but aside from some ticket kiosks and a poster case, it does not look much like a theater lobby. Once you go up the escalator though, the upper lobby space is indeed huge. But from the theater, there doesn’t seem to be much in the Roosevelt Collection at the moment, though it is a massive building and finishing work is still going on.
