News About This Theater
- Jul 29, 2014 — Go! List names Best St. Louis movie theater
Located in the Sappington/Afton district to the southwest of St. Louis. The Ronnie’s 20 Cine was built to replace the smaller Ronnie’s 8 at the same location (It has its own page on Cinema Treasures). The Ronnie’s 20 opened on December 22, 1999 as the largest multiplex in the St. Louis market. Built on the site of the old Ronnie’s Drive-In which was one of the first drive-ins for the Wehrenberg Theatre chain.
The Ronnie’s 20 Cine' features a restaurant and ice cream parlor in the lobby to the right. The game room is on the left of the lobby. THX in two auditoriums and Dolby in the others. Stadium seating in all auditoriums. Patron comfort was the Wehrenberg priority when this theatre was built. Tons of neon of soft colors inside and out of the theatre. One of my favorite places to catch a movie when I am at home in St. Louis. (Great hamburgers and malts). In the fall of 2017 it was taken over by Marcus Theatres

Time flies…Marcus bought out Wehrenberg in the fall of 2016. Sorry.
A couple of things. One, Sappington is not a city. The theater is in unincorporated St Louis County in an area that is known as Sappington. But the postal city address is considered St Louis. Two, the Ronnie’s 8 and the Ronnie’s 20 are two different buildings. The Ronnie’s 8 was built on the property while the Ronnie’s Drive-In was still operating. Later after the Drive-In property was redeveloped, the Ronnie’s 20 was built to the north of the Ronnie’s 8 and then the Ronnie’s 8 was demolished for more parking.
So the Wehrenberg name is officially off the theatre? Wow.
The actual opening date is December 17, 1999.
Grand opening ad posted. 50sSNIPES, you off by 5 days, opened on the 22nd.
Oh, I must be reading the wrong headline. Thanks for correcting me!
The first phase of 6 screens opened on December 22nd, 1999 and fully opened on May 5th, 2000. Another ad posted.
Marcus acquired Wehrenberg in December 2016.

I don’t see it listed on any list of the 70MM IMAX theatres in the country nor does it say so in their listing for the Odyssey.
Please update, rename theatre to Marcus Ronnie’s Cinema + IMAX and total seats 1,711
