The DU's Movie Theater

This here article from a few years ago give us an insight into the amazing world that will be cinema at Xanadu. Heres the picture:


October 2004 (Newstream)-Muvico Theaters, Inc. and The Mills Corporation jointly announced that industry leader Muvico Theaters will build a 26-screen, 6,500-seat 160,000-square-foot megaplex movie theater at Meadowlands Xanadu, the 4.8 million-square-foot family entertainment, shopping and office complex in Northern New Jersey. Megaplex plans include a Premier Level with nine balcony auditoriums and a full-service restaurant and bar plus a 15,000 square foot rooftop terrace featuring a 60-foot outdoor screen for outdoor movie viewing with a helipad and private access for VIPs to the Premier Level.
According to Wikipedia, it is now 18 theaters. Luckily, the 60-foot outdoor screen should still be there. I've never been to an outdoor theater due to the death of the drive-in, so I'm really looking forward to this. And if I have a few bucks to spare, I'll go in style:

For Premier Level guests with more limited time, a full-service bar offers the full restaurant menu as well. In addition, two separate premium concession stands will offer Premier moviegoers the traditional popcorn and candy, along with fresh daily sushi selections; freshly prepared gourmet sandwiches, pizzas and salads; crab and artichoke dip; desserts; draft beer, wine and splits of champagne.

Every Premier Level balcony has stadium-style seating, Muvico's custom-designed, sumptuous, single and double rocking (love seat-style) sofas and state-of-the-art visual and audio technology, that allows Premier Level moviegoers to screen the latest films-while enjoying a cocktail or dessert and coffee-in ultimate comfort. Premier level guests will enjoy a unique combination of private-club-like gathering, full-service bar, private dining room, and the ultimate in luxurious and state-of-the-art movie screening experiences.

I don't expect to be able to do that often, but we will certainly attempt to get you all the photos necessary so you can have the experience without leaving your mother's basement (thats right, I can see you. Everyone knows that bloggers and blog readers live in their mother's basements, only seeing the light of day to go to star trek or super hero conventions - END RANT).

I only expect the best and I will try to update this if I find a more recent article.
