The former SilverCity movie theatre on Walker Road is getting a new life.
Mikhail Holdings Limited has reached an agreement with Landmark Cinemas Canada to open an eight-auditorium movie theatre.
Landmark plans to fully renovate the theatre and bring its "Premiere Seat experience" to the location. The experience includes a heated seat with an adjustable headrest, wider armrests, a side table, and a coat hook, all wrapped up in a privacy enclosure for additional personal space and comfort.
"Landmark Cinemas prides itself, and is committed to, delivering the ultimate movie-going experience for Movie Lovers," said Dave Cohen, president of Landmark Cinemas. "We are excited to share our premium cinema experiences with Movie Lovers across the Windsor area, from the luxury and convenience of Premiere Seating and the immersive experience of Laser Ultra to the great rewards that await our EXTRAS members."
SilverCity closed in January 2022.
"We are excited to partner with Landmark Cinemas to bring a premium cinema experience back to The Mikhail Centre. The Windsor community is growing faster than anywhere else in Canada, and our burgeoning population deserves to have a fantastic movie experience," said Joe Mikhail, owner of Mikhail Holdings Limited.
The new theatre is expected to open in the fall of 2024.
