Make time for these
The cinema opened in 2019 as the anchor of Studio Park, a downtown development behind Van Andel Arena with a cinema, concert venue, restaurants, housing, a hotel and parking. It brought Celebration back downtown, where Jack Loeks opened the Foto Newsreel Theatre in 1944. Inside you get 4K laser projection, recliners and a bar with seat-side delivery. Outside, there's a screen on the piazza. In September 2026 it hosted the Sunday screenings of the Grand Rapids Film Festival.
