Not related to the All Jersey multiplex, this theatre is the only theater left in Newark showing movies, and the only theater in the area that’s now independently run after originally owned by Sony/Loews, which would run the nearby theater in Elizabeth. It was originally a 6-screen theatre.
In 2012, this movie theatre became the Cityplex 12. The largest screen in the revamped theatre will be called the Shaq-EX Premium Theatre Experience with a 43-foot screen and 3D projection. All auditoriums have stadium seating, and state of the art digital projection and surround sound.

Opened in 1993 near the epicenter of the infamous 1967 riots. This theater could be closing soon.

Newark gets cash to save ailing movie theater
according to Mayor Corey Booker, this theater will expand to 14 screens next year under the supervision of Newark-born and Boston Celtics player Shaquille O'Neal. The theater will have state of the art amenities. Groundbreaking is set for June, and will open for the holiday 2011 season. It’s about time that a megaplex returns to Newark.
Currently the theater is being expanded this weekend as CityPlex 12. The theater will have a soft opening this weekend followed by a grand opening for the 4th of July holiday. The largest screen in the revamped theater will be called the Shaq-EX Premium Theatre Experience with a 43-foot large screen and 3D projection, stadium seating and digital surround sound. All auditoriums will have 7.1 Dolby surround sound, digital 3D and 2D projection, and stadium seating. More info can be found at the theatre’s facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CityPlexNewark
