PremiumCinemaIQ rates this Emagine Super EMAX room B, 51/100 — a solid premium screen without being exceptional, 464 m² of lit picture. No source names the projector in this room, so the score is indicative. Data read 5 November 2026.
Illinois, USA. THE LARGEST CHAIN-BRANDED PLF SCREEN IN THE UNITED STATES: 96ft x 53ft (29.3 × 16.2 m), billed as Illinois' largest movie screen and 'an NBA court flipped on its side'. Christie 4K laser, 70-channel Dolby Atmos, 414 heated recliners including cuddle chairs. Opened 11 Jul 2023 with Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning. 550 N Randall Rd - the building was the former Randall 15 IMAX, bought and rebuilt by Emagine in spring 2020, so this is a case of a chain PLF REPLACING an IMAX with something larger. Dimensions verified via NBC Chicago. Coordinates not published.
