Birmingham, MI: Palladium Theatre Reopens as 5-Screen Luxury Movie Theater

Posted on Monday, October 5, 2015 8:33 PM

Theater PhotoThe Palladium 12 in Birmingham, Michigan closed in September 2014, but it has just been reopened by Emagine Entertainment as the five-screen Emagine Palladium Theatre. The screen count has gone down, but the luxury factor just got turned up with the installation of upscale features, including luxury reclining seats, a membership program that offers priority access to tickets, and an Ironwood Grill that serves an extensive menu. The grand opening was October 2, 2015.

The theater is now only taking up the top floor of the building. The seating has been reduced from 2,500 to just 540. If you want the best selection of those seats, then you'll want to sign up for their Platinum Membership at $350 per year.

Every auditorium will have 4K Sony Digital Cinema Projection systems. Two will seat 150 people, while the other three have just 80 seats each. According to the press release, every seat has an optimum viewing angle, which can be an issue with some reduced-seating theaters, where one row is too low and too close, while the next row is too far back. There aren't any specifics on those viewing angles, so if you attend a movie here, be sure to add a Reader Comment and let us know what you thought!

The press release mentions the following amenities at the theater:

  • Luxurious extra-comfy power recliners.
  • A full service cocktail bar with extensive wine and beer selections including local craft brews.
  • Restaurant seating options from sofas, high tops, tables and chairs and two stone fireplaces.
  • A full service restaurant operated by the culinary artists from Plymouth’s renowned Ironwood Grill.
  • Extensive menu options including savory appetizers, mouthwatering entrees, make-your-own hand-crafted pizza, along with a host of other tasty options.
  • Coca-Cola Freestyle soda machines including free refills on all size of sodas and frozen carbonated beverages.
  • Gourmet Popcorn in a variety of flavors including Michigan’s own, Poppin’ Olive® Popcorn
  • Healthy Snacks for Kids.
  • 5 intimate stadium-style auditoriums (2 @ 150 seats, 3 @ 80 seats) with huge screens.
  • Auditoriums will feature set back front rows so every seat in the house has optimum viewing angles.
  • All theatres will be handicapped accessible and equipped with hearing impaired listening devices.
  • The ultimate in Digital surround sound and all 4K Sony Digital Cinema projectors.
  • Giant in-lobby video boards showing trailers of upcoming films.
