PremiumCinemaIQ rates this Marcus UltraScreen DLX room C, 37/100 — a modest premium screen, 201 m² of lit picture. The projector rests on a dated source, so the score is indicative. Data read 21 September 2026.
Illinois, USA. The best-documented Marcus PLF and the only one with an operator-published dimension: 72ft x 31ft (21.9m x 9.4m), 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.

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 — where we could check, 100 venues listed as xenon had been upgraded. Treat the score as indicative.
