News About This Theater
- Jan 19, 2009 — Village North/Visionary Theatre closes
This movie theatre, located on Golf Road just north of Golf Mill Mall in a non-descript strip mall, was opened in 1984 by the Essaness chain. It was later taken over by Cineplex-Odeon, and finally Loews-Cineplex.
The theatre was closed down in the late-1990’s after the Loews-Cineplex chain went through bankruptcy. In 2002, Village Theaters took over and reopened the six screen Golf Glen. It operated until February, 2006, when Village Cinemas closed the Golf Glen. It has since been re-opened (minus one screen) by the Phoenix AdLabs Theatres chain, and by 2010 operated by their subsidiary Phoenix Big Cinemas. In July 2014 it was taken over by Moviemax Cinemas. It was closed in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
It was reopened on October 20, 2022 as the Cine Lounge at Niles, screening Bollywood movies and second run Hollywood movies.

Mike I saw KArate Kid there too. Right around Labor Day of 84. Also saw Secret of the Sword(He Man movie) and Iron Eagle.
No showtimes at the Big Cinemas/Phoenix website. Is this theatre closed again?
The theatre’s Yelp page at http://www.yelp.com/biz/big-cinemas-golf-glen-5-niles is full of bad reviews for this cinema.
Most assuredly open. I had lunch at the Filipino restaurant next door to the theater yesterday. A steady stream of customers were seen going to the Bollywood matinees.
June 8th, 1984 grand opening ad has been uploaded here.
How soon we forget. The notion that Village Theaters ever existed completely slipped my mind. The fact that it was run like a criminal front operation probably has something to do with that.
Changed the name to Moviemax Cinemas last month. For the description, note that Phoenix Big Cinemas was just an arm of Phoenix Adlabs, so it’s misleading.
BIG Cinema, Golf Glen IL, is listed among the company’s projects on the web site of architectural firm Paradigm Design. As it is listed under that name, I suspect it was only a remodeling job done when the operation was taken over by Phoenix AdLabs.

The Cine Lounge at Niles in Niles, Illinois opened October 20, 2022. Located about seventeen miles northwest of downtown Chicago on Gulf Road between I-294 and North Milwaukee Avenue, the theater was previously known as the MovieMax Cinemas. That operation closed in March 2020 because of the pandemic and never reopened.
Bollywood movies only.
Not “Bollywood movies only”, they’re showing Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Strange World this week
to generalize their fare as “Bollywood only” is unfair. Thanks to Rivest for his link but another look at their social media page brings this result which is more accurate and should reflect in the description
“ Get entertained at Ciné Lounge Theaters - Bollywood, South Asian & Hollywood Movies to entertain you with Comfort & Style”
