Theater PhotoTonight marks the first night that the new Marcus Palace Cinema in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin is open to the public.

The new 12-screen movie theater, located just North of Madison off Highway 151, replaces the Marcus Eastgate Cinema, which closed earlier this month. The official address is 2830 Hoepker Road and is between the Costco and the Target in the Prairie Lakes development.

Every auditorium has "DreamLoungerSM" recliner seating that provides seven feet of legroom. The recliners are powered so you can choose your preferred position with the touch of a button.

There are two UltraScreen DLX™ auditoriums, four Big Screen Bistro® in-theater dining auditoriums, a Zaffiro's Express, and a Take Five Lounge.

The UltraScreen DLX auditoriums feature screens more than 60 feet wide, with Dolby Atmos audio systems, and the DreamLounger electric reclining chairs.

The Big Screen Bistros are in-theater dining auditoriums, where you can enjoy various drink selections, chef-prepared items, and the DreamLounger seats have swivel tables to hold it all.

The Take Five Lounge offers locally brewed beer selections, cocktails, and various food items. It features a 20-foot wide HD screen for viewing "entertainment content" (think sporting events), and an outdoor patio.

“As Marcus Theatres continues to invest in its circuit with new options, comforts and conveniences for our guests, we are thrilled to introduce our first brand-new facility in eight years,” said Rolando B. Rodriguez, president and chief executive officer of Marcus Theatres. “The Palace Cinema showcases many of the new amenities that help make Marcus Theatres a leader and an innovator, both in the movie exhibition business and the entertainment industry at large.”

Eastgate Cinema Closes

Eastgate's demise was announced by Marcus back in May 2008. Since that time, the location of its replacement has moved three times, but the day that was predicted to be in late 2008 or early 2009 has finally come in 2015.Source: Marcus Theatres Press Release.
