The Windy City has quite a few movie theaters, including the big three – AMC, Regal, and Cinemark. AMC has a slightly bigger presence than its counterparts. Additionally, there are Showplace Cinemas, Studio Movie Grills, and dozens of other Chicago area movie venues.
Yes. Whereas some US cities have lost all of their drive-in theater options, Chicagoans are fortunate to have a few still open. There are the ChiTown Movies Drive-In, the Davis Theater Drive-In, McHenry Outdoor Theater, and the Lakeshore Drive-In. Be sure to check the schedule as these are seasonal venues.
Chicago has a few IMAX theaters. The Regal City North includes IMAX screenings. Cinemark also offers IMAX films in its Seven Bridges location. However, AMC’s IMAX at Navy Pier, which used to feature the tallest screen in the city, has since closed.
Some Chicago movie cinemas have full bars. If you’re headed to an AMC Theater with MacGuffins bar, you can order beer, wine, or liquor. Studio Movie Grill is another chain with in-theater dining and a cocktails menu.
