Worth noting about the Revere Showcase, added reclining powered seats in all houses. No instructions anywhere for them so your first time you have to guess how to work them. Also has a 4D motion control seats in 1 house that makes a movie into a ride. Worth trying once.Added an XPLUS house which is an Imax type of system.Has reserve seating so when you buy tickets you choose your seat, trouble is seems like the theaters are always mostly full giving you little choices but often when movie starts there is no crowd. Only place around me showing TMC revivals and also the Rifftrax live shows.

Anyone hear of a closing date for this place yet? The original article said “by the end of the year” but I continue to get weekly updates from there….darn it, i’m really gonna miss this place…
Closed after last night’s last shows.
I went to a good number of the Live from the Metropolitan Opera HD series here!
That complex I used as my third location for Showcase Cinemas. First choice Randolph. 2nd choice Patriot Place then Revere. Dedham location was closer in distance than Patriot Place, but they never had a late show on weekends.
I saw so many great films, there. I had relatives, in the area, and so we went to movies and had a great time. I miss it so much
