Showcase Cinemas Seekonk Route 6

The Market Basket supermarket chain bought the building in July. No word yet on whether it will become a supermarket. https://www.wpri.com/news/local-news/se-mass/market-basket-owner-buys-seekonk-showcase-cinemas/

To my mind, this theatre seems to book the best of the crop of current films, while the ones of lesser interest seem to be put into the chain’s Showcase Cinemas Seekonk 1-10, about a mile away. But that judgment may simply reflect my tastes. I went there tonight to see the Ron Howard film Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe. I wasn’t fired up about yet another boxing-theme film this year, after Million Dollar Baby, but it turned out to be quite amazing, moving, and downright exciting, and with some excellently constructed period settings of the 1930s. This multiplex is located at Seekonk Square, a large shopping plaza on Route 6. People undoubtedly confuse this place with Showcase Cinemas Seekonk 1-10 as they do with the Showcase Warwick and Showcase Warwick Mall. A good bountiful and cheap place to eat at before or after the movie is Old Country Buffet, located a few hundred feet away in the same plaza.
