Operator

⚠ This venue has closed (2022). Detroit Free Press and AMC spokesperson confirmed the last day of operation was 13 November 2022.

The projector here comes from a 2021 industry listing that we haven't been able to re-confirm. IMAX has converted a lot of screens to laser since, so a 2021 label is a 2021 state rather than a current one. Treat the score as indicative.
