Phoenix Theatres at Patriot Place is excited to announce our GRAND OPENING on Wednesday, July 1st, just in time for the release of MINIONS & MONSTERS!

Phoenix Theatres Patriot Place will feature Dolby ATMOS in its ENCORE auditoriums, creating a fully immersive three-dimensional sound environment that places audiences at the center of the action. ENCORE auditoriums will feature specialized acoustic treatments, immersive black-box design elements, and distraction-free environments designed to maximize picture quality and sound performance. Heated reclining loveseats, a signature feature of Phoenix Theatres, will be available in every seat in every auditorium.

Ticket Prices: - $8 Matinee (Before 5 PM) - $10 General Admission - $7 Children & Seniors (All Day)

At Phoenix Theatres, showtime MEANS showtime! We are eliminating all commercial pre-show advertising at our Patriot Place location. Rather than filling the pre-show with commercials, guests will experience a carefully constructed transition into the film—featuring movie-themed soundtrack music curated from La-La Land Records collection, a limited selection of studio trailers, and a seamless progression into the feature presentation.

ENCORE will premiere Illumination’s “MINIONS & MONSTERS” as well as Steven Spielberg’s “DISCLOSURE DAY” and continue all summer long with blockbuster hits including: 🌊 MOANA ⚔️ Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY 🕷️ SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY

Mark your calendars and get ready to #KickBackRelaxRecline at Phoenix Theatres at Patriot Place this summer!

There is a conflicting claim about the design of this theater. Two photos of the Patriot Place Showcase Cinemas De Lux appears on the web site of the Philadelphia architectural firm SPG3. A brief biography of architect Irving Shapiro (the S in SPG3) says this about the firm’s relationship to National Amusements:

“In 2000, spg3 was engaged by National Amusements, the parent company of Viacom and CBS. Mr. Shapiro worked closely with the president of National, to create a new experience for their cinema patrons worldwide. Between 2000 and 2008, National reinvented their brand and brought the concept of Cinema de lux to new buildings throughout the United States, Russia, Argentina and the United Kingdom. In the UK projects, the cinema was the entertainment anchor for several of the largest ‘urban regeneration’ projects being contemplated in Europe. The initial planning was done in collaboration with several acclaimed international design firms, including Foreign Office Architects, Chapman Taylor, Cesar Pelli and Westfield Architecture. In Moscow, the work was done in collaboration with Callison and IKEA’s in house design professionals.”

The biography also mentions the firm’s earlier connection to General Cinema:

“Mr. Shapiro acted as the Executive Architect for General Cinema from 1995 through 2000. During this time, spg3 was responsible for all new General Cinema design and construction.”

According to Boston Gerald, Showcase Live had a hard time with competion from CT casinos, Boston & Sputh Shore Music Circus.

Next to the Cinema, to the left, is Showcase Live!, a concert venue with a capacity of, (I think), 1,200.
