In the lead-up to the Fourth of July holiday, Northwoods Theater Group, an affiliate of Emagine Entertainment, debuted its newest crown jewel, the Emagine Parker, located in the Denver metro area. Cinema United’s Andrew Stewart was there to help celebrate the ribbon cutting event on Tuesday, June 30, along with Jon Goldstein, Owner of Northwoods Theater Group, Parker Mayor Joshua Rivero, and Paul Glantz, former CEO of Emagine Entertainment.
Officially now open to the public, the completely reimagined 32,000-square-foot entertainment destination features luxury heated recliners, premium large-format EMX auditoriums, immersive Dolby Atmos sound, 4K projection, expanded food and beverage offerings, a full-service bar, and the company’s first self-ordering guest experience. Goldstein said he wanted the theatre to be “a beautiful gathering place for the community, and since people in Colorado like to be outside, we tried to bring a little bit of the outside inside.”
The location’s entire design, accented by rich green hues and light hardwood floors throughout, is meant to bring the beauty of the state indoors. Its ties to the local area go beyond just decor; the theatre will help revitalize and grow the community.
“Truly I cannot say (enough) how appreciative we are of your investment into the community,” Rivero said at the event. “Movies are like those films you get from childhood, and you remember where you were when you saw them. I want those memories to be instilled in kids today.”
Rivero congratulated Emagine Parker as the newest spark to the community’s development, saying, “That dirt field will not be a dirt field for much longer with what you guys have done here. All of you working together are going to make West Main Street the gem that it should be.”
A special thank you to Melissa Boudreau, Chief Experience Officer for Northwoods Theater Group, and the entire team for their hospitality. Congratulations again on an incredible opening!
