ridethectrain commented about Ratterman Theatres on Jul 29, 2026 at 1:05 am

O’Fallon’s Ratterman Theatres is betting on the big screen The recently opened indie cinema offers a classic moviegoing experience with retro vibes.

Tristan Ratterman has been watching the ins and outs of the movie theater industry for well over a decade. He is no stranger to the movie scene, having worked at a number of independent theaters across St. Louis, St. Andrews Cinema, Chase Park Plaza Cinema, Moolah Theatre, and Skyview Drive-In among them. Now, Ratterman is putting his knowledge to the test with his own independent cinema.

Ratterman Theatres (900 Caledonia) opened its doors this past November, welcoming guests to enjoy first-run flicks, cult classics, and more. The house special, coined the “Reel Deal,” gets you a movie ticket, regular popcorn, and regular soda for $15.

“We don’t want to break the bank. We want to make sure movies are fun and affordable, and you get the entire experience for just 15 bucks.” Ratterman says.

Opening a new business in an industry that is claimed to be dying may seem like a risky route to pursue, but Ratterman sees potential for a new small theater in the community.

“I think that you’re looking at the death of a megaplex, these big corporate chains that really push it down your throat that movies have to cost $25 to get in with $15 popcorn and everything like that,” Ratterman says. “Movie theaters, I think, are reverting back to what is small business. It’s how a lot of them started. You know, the smaller screen counts, one to five screens each. That’s why we kind of saw it as an opportune time to open.”

Ratterman opened his 800-seat theater in the bones of what was previously Regal Great Escape Theater in O’Fallon. The design is based on midcentury movie culture, and antiques from across the country decorate the space. The marquee above the theater was restored from a Movieland Wax Museum from the 60s, the concession equipment was sourced from drive-ins across the country, and one of the theater’s screens also boasts a playable theater pipe organ sourced from a theater organ society in Arizona.

The organ is played by Terry Nord, the house organist who plays at venues such as the Fox Theatre and City Museum. Nord plays both vintage and newer classics for 30 minutes before shows every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

As the theater gains its footing, Ratterman plans to host live events with local musicians and stand-up comedians. On the last Friday of the month, the theater will present The Rocky Horror Picture Show on the big screen, complete with a shadowcast performance by Flustered Mustard, a St. Louis–based shadow cast group that Ratterman leads.

Ratterman Theatres is located in O’Fallon’s Caledonia Entertainment Complex alongside Level Up Entertainment, a family-fun center, creating a one-stop destination for date night or family-friendly entertainment.

“We want to make sure that we have something like that where you don’t have to bounce all around town to do everything you want to do. You can just go to one specific location,” Ratterman say.

Sony Pictures Entertainment to Reopen Iconic Cinerama Dome Exhibition News • Boxoffice Staff • July 22 2026

Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) and wholly-owned subsidiary Alamo Drafthouse Cinema have announced plans to reopen and restore the iconic Cinerama Dome, a Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument located in the heart of Hollywood, following a 6-year shutdown that began during the pandemic. The Dome will undergo restorative renovations starting next month through early 2028 and be operated by Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.

Its historic legacy will be honored and carefully preserved, with the iconic Cinerama name and exterior branding left intact. The restoration will honor the landmark’s distinctive aesthetic character, immersive large-format curved-screen presentation, and traditional concession experience that have made it a beloved destination for generations. While the Dome will not operate as a dine-in theater, its traditional programming will be complemented by Alamo Drafthouse’s signature programming including repertory screenings, filmmaker series, premieres, and special events.

Since 1963, the Dome has been celebrated as one of the world’s premier venues for 70mm exhibition. Its approximately 86-foot-wide, deeply curved screen was engineered to immerse audiences in an extraordinary panoramic viewing experience. The theater helped pioneer a new era of large-format cinematic presentation and remains one of the most distinctive moviegoing environments ever created.

As part of the deal, SPE will also reopen the adjacent 14-screen theater complex, formerly ArcLight Cinemas, as an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. The theater will offer Alamo Drafthouse premium presentations and dine-in services, curated programming, repertory screenings, events, designated karaoke rooms, and fan celebrations. The complex will retain 35mm capabilities to showcase archival film prints and house several premium format screens with immersive audio and 4K laser projection, including 70mm capabilities.

“There is no moviegoing destination anywhere in the world that commands the affection, history, and cultural significance of the Cinerama Dome. It represents the kind of singular experience we value and champion,” said Ravi Ahuja, the chairman and chief executive officer of Sony Pictures Entertainment. “This is a meaningful moment for our company, our industry, and Los Angeles. We look forward to honoring and extending the Dome’s extraordinary legacy.”

“Hot damn! We’re bringing the Dome back, baby. We believe in moviegoing down to our soul, and no venue on earth stands more for that than the one-of-a-kind Dome. I am deeply proud that Sony is investing in Hollywood, literally,” said Tom Rothman, the chairman and chief executive officer of SPE Motion Picture Group. “The Dome has hosted generations of unforgettable movie moments. Our goal is to preserve its legendary history while ensuring it remains vibrant now and far into the future.”

“For 30 years we have championed the kind of theatrical experience that turns a screening into an event, and created spaces where people come together to celebrate cinema. As our new West Coast flagship, we will offer extraordinary programming and events, while returning to Los Angeles one of its most beloved and culturally significant moviegoing destinations,” said Michael Kustermann, the chief executive officer of Alamo Drafthouse and the head of Sony Pictures Experiences.

“The Cinerama Dome has been a treasured and important landmark for movie fans and the entire film community for over six decades,” shared Cinema United President and CEO Michael O’Leary. “On behalf of all of exhibition, we are excited to see that under the leadership of two of exhibition’s strongest champions, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Alamo Drafthouse, this iconic destination will once again be filled with audiences of all ages. The timing could not be better with moviegoers making clear this year that they love the unique experience of seeing a movie on the big screen. Congratulations to Sony and Alamo and to the people who love movies.”
