So after 4 years and through the Covid resurgence I decided to give this theater another chance and took my wife to see Spider Man No Way Home as she really wanted to see it. The theater I would say was approximately a little over quarter full. I will say the trashy people of Escanaba always seem to come out and find a way to ruin it for others. First off there were quite a few very young children in attendance with no adult supervision. I assume their parents dropped them like a day care. These children were constantly running back and fourth and flashing cell phone lights and talking throughout the entire movie. Then there was a older man with some young children that by the sounds of it felt like he needed to very loudly narrate the entire movie to his children and everyone else within ear shot as well.

Additionally the VIP section seats are picked in the best audio and video parts of the theater which is another bonus. Also don't forget to sign up for a frequent visitor member card as you get points for each ticket you buy and you get bonus items after you have seen a certain amount of movies. They have 8 screens with almost stadium style seating as well as a 3D screen.
