Construction on a full-theatre renovation starts this week at AMC Newport on the Levee 20 and includes AMC Signature Recliner seating, Dolby Cinema at AMC, expanded food and drink options and new sight and sound equipment.
AMC Theatres® has announced that construction to deliver the company’s wildly popular full-theatre renovations has started at AMC Newport on the Levee 20, with an entire overhaul of the theatre scheduled to be complete by the end of 2017.
In recent years, AMC Theatres has elevated the movie-going experience through its guest-favorite amenities like its AMC Signature Recliners, reserved seating and expanded food and beverage options including the AMC Feature Fare menu and MacGuffins adult beverage concept.
Renovations will be completed in phases, allowing the theatre to remain open, ensuring guests can continue to enjoy their movies with the AMC experience. The full conversion should be complete by the end of 2017.
Upon completion of the renovations, AMC Newport on the Levee 20 will include:
• AMC Signature plush, power recliners,
• Online ticketing, reserved seating, and ticketless entry,
• Dolby Cinema at AMC.
• New movie screens, speakers and sound systems,
• An expanded menu of treats for every taste bud.
The theatre already features its adult beverage concept, MacGuffins, allowing guests to enjoy a beer, glass of wine or cocktail with their movie. The theatre will also continue to offer the immersive IMAX at AMC experience.
When the renovation is complete, AMC Newport on the Levee 20 will have a pristine look and feel. In addition to the movie-going enhancements, AMC will also incorporate new design elements to the theatre, including a remodeled food and beverage area, fresh paint and new carpet throughout the building.
AMC is the largest movie exhibition company in the U.S., in Europe and throughout the world with approximately 1,000 theatres and 11,000 screens across the globe. AMC has propelled innovation in the exhibition industry by: deploying more plush power-recliner seats; delivering enhanced food and beverage choices; generating greater guest engagement through its loyalty program, web site and smart phone apps; offering premium large format experiences and playing a wide variety of content including the latest Hollywood releases and independent programming.
