PremiumCinemaIQ rates this Marcus UltraScreen DLX room C, 37/100 — a modest premium screen, 206 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 best-documented Marcus PLF and the only one with an operator-published dimension: 72ft x 31ft (21.9 × 9.4 m), 424 seats, from Marcus's own March 2013 press release. Was the chain's first Auro 11.1 room; now runs laser plus Dolby Atmos. Marcus's flagship Chicagoland multiplex and uniquely carries BOTH UltraScreen DLX and SuperScreen DLX, which makes it the clearest place to see the gap between the two tiers.
