Just went to see a movie in 3-D here and they charge a $3 surcharge PER TICKET! to see them in 3-D. I’ve seen 3-D movies elsewhere and never received such a surcharge. That is ridiculous! As a result, I will be going out of my way to see movies at OTHER neighboring theaters from now on in protest of this!

The old upstairs theaters were great~! I grew up going there in the 80’s and miss them very much,, especially what seemed like the enormous theater #1,, Anyway, the new Century theaters are fantastic,, All digital and great sightlines with all stadium seating,, I have been in at least 7 of the 16 theaters, some with capacity of 106 seates to the larger one with plus 250 seats and all are great! Highly recommend!!

I saw Sweeney Todd here yesterday. GREAT new theater. Sound was awesome. The chairs in the theater rock. The food counter was sort of a cafe stye line. Very clean and new. I much prefer this place over some other nearby theaters. I still miss the original 4 upstairs theaters at Stratford but it was time for them to go.

On a side note a saw an article about the Bloomingdale Court theaters and how they are successfully showing Baliwood movies. Maybe Bloomingdale Court will survive these new theaters at Stratford.

To Scott:

I belive Century took the fourplex, gutted it a little, and expanded into space next to it to create the 16 screener.

To Jimpiscitelli: Thanks for your report on the theater. I hope I can get out there sometime this month. Maybe when The Simpsons comes out.

Went to the new Cinemark/Century Stratford Square today. The theater is beautiful. All 16 screens have digital sound and digital projection. Even though a few of the same movies are at the Blommingdale Theaters and the new Stratford Theater, the new Stratofrd Theater is presenting them in digital projection while the Bloomingdale is presenting them in traditional 35MM projection.

Is this actually the same building or did Century rebuild an entirely new theatre? If so, it’s somewhat misleading to re-name the information about the OLD Stratford Square to include the new theatre.

Re-opened as Century Stratford Square today. And while Bloomingdale is showing some of the same movies as Stratford, Stratford is showing the same movies and more in digital sound. That’s light years ahead from what Village Theatres offer. Maybe I’ll get down here & take photos sometime this month.

Re-opens July 4th. The nearby Bloomingdale Court’s days are numbered.

They’re really working hard lately on this new theater. When I go to Stratford, you can see the guys working on it. The roof of the theater goes even higher than the roof of the mall, so we should get some pretty nice sized screens.

Whoops, that’s incorrect. Century Theatres will build the new Stratford Square theatre.

I just found out that Regal Entertainment is buliding a 14 screen, state-of-the-art cinema at Stratford Square (maybe in the space that was Plitt Theatres). I found it in a archive on Chicagobusiness.com.

The last time I went to the Stratford Square Cinemas I saw the movie “Bride and Prejudice”. I was the only person in that auditorium. The theatre was still the same (when it was opened by Plitt Theaters). I hope the new Stratford will be better than the old one hopefully with statium seating.

Maybe (Hopefully) Classic cinemas?

I wonder who’s going to operate the new Stratford Square Cinemas?

Anyway, that’s good news. Now, If only they can remodel Ford City Cinemas.

The downstairs theaters we terrible it’s the best thing that could happen to them. The upstairs theater are great I took my girlfriend to them almost every Friday in the late ‘80s and earily '90s. Good times.
