Illinois biggest movie screen to open Tuesday

The suburban movie theater screen will be 94-feet wide and five stories tall.

BATAVIA, Ill. - The largest movie theater screen in Illinois will have its first showing on Tuesday in suburban Chicago.

The Super EMX auditorium's first showing will be Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One. The movie will begin at 2 p.m. at Emagine Batavia, located at 550 Randall Rd.

The Super EMX auditorium seats 414 people. It was still under construction when the venue opened to the public on June 1, 2023.

The massive screen is over 96-feet wide and 53-feet tall, which is the size of an NBA court flipped on its side.

"The 4K laser-projected image will be paired with a Dolby Atmos immersive sound system with 70 channels of sound to create the most remarkable moviegoing experience in the marketplace today – the Super EMX Emagine Maximum Experience!" Emagine Batavia said in a press release.
