This is a replacement for the original Sparta Theatre that was torn down in 2006. The new building completed in 2007 contains a Panera Bread restaurant on the first floor, a spa and offices on the third floor, and the theatre on the basement level.
The theatre features two stadium houses and one steeply sloped screening room. Total 380- seats. The architect for the building is Yogesh Mistry and theatre design is John Kedzierski and Tom Makris (former Loews Architects) of MKP Design Sparta, NJ. It was taken over by Digiplex Destinations in December 2012.
Last operated by NewVision Theatres, it was closed on March 16, 2020 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. It was announced in June 2020 that the closure would be permanent due to NewVision Theatres going out of business. In August 2020 it was taken back by AMC Theatres, but remained closed. It reopened on November 25, 2022 with 210-seats.

They are on the hook for the lease, so they must feel that it will cost them less to run them vs. close them. I always felt like New Vision was just a temporary thing until AMC could get them back. New Vision with 15 locations across half the nation couldn’t be a viable operation.
As of right now the theatre is CLOSED, AMC Theatres has not put this on their website as of now. The accusation from New Vison Theatres to take over is not finalize.
Please update, theatre is CLOSED. Theatre is not open in New Jersey and it not on AMC Theatres website.
What is a major delay is that also New Vision Theaters for some locations owed back taxes so AMC may have to wait for a tax sale to end before getting the building back basically amc is getting a shell to put new equipment in and a bunch of the smaller theaters may open as Classic with recliner seats.
Since when do Classic AMCs have recliners, If they would have recliners, it would be under the AMC Amazing Brand
A few locations with recliners were downgraded to classic. They even have classic locations with bars.
I understand it is re-opening soon

This is nice for the community of Sparta to have a theater again. Very nicely redone by the new owner. With so many theaters closing across the United States it’s good to see this one is open again. Make sure if you’re a citizen of Sparta or in any of the towns nearby to come and patronize this theater
