About
Connor’s Visit (June 2026): He toured the theater at the sneak preview with owner Jon Goldstein the night before the July 1 grand opening: “Hearing about the whole transformation directly from him was the best part.” On the first-row cuddle chairs: “Nobody really wants the front row, so they built these with more room, and Jon says they are a big hit with kids. I tried one out by myself, which kind of defeated the purpose...” (DougCo Drop, July 2, 2026)
Emagine Parker is the first Colorado location for Michigan-based Emagine Entertainment, now open at 18625 Stage Run. Emagine took over and fully renovated the 32,000-square-foot building that previously housed the AMC Classic Twenty Mile 10, which closed in September 2025.
The reimagined theater has 10 auditoriums, including two premium large-format EMX screens with wall-to-wall picture, 4K projection, and Dolby Atmos sound, plus heated luxury recliners in every house and a full-service bar serving craft cocktails, beer, and wine. Each auditorium is themed around a different Colorado landscape, from snowcapped mountains to Red Rocks. It is also the launch site for Emagine's first-ever self-ordering concession kiosks.
Food goes well beyond popcorn. The signature is Little Dot Pizza, Emagine's own fresh-dough pizza from a 900-degree oven (coming to DoorDash in August), alongside OlivEpop popcorn, a self-serve drink station with slushies, and the full bar with five local and craft beers on tap. Up in the front row are cuddle chairs, wide couch-style two-person seats with an ottoman.
Ticket Pricing (per Emagine, varies by showtime):
- 🎟️ Matinee adult recliner: about $10.95 (kids and seniors about $9.95)
- 🎬 Standard and evening: around $13.95 adult
- ⭐ $5 Tuesdays for Emagine Rewards members
Prices vary by film, showtime, and format (EMX may cost more), so confirm at checkout.
Good to Know:
- – Switch-over perk: show a loyalty membership from another theater brand for a free year of Emagine Rewards Extras (a $12.75 value), in person at Parker through August 30
- – A later phase may add a dedicated space for live local music and performances
📍 Local Insights

🏔️ Colorado on Every Wall: Each of the 10 auditoriums features a different Colorado landscape, from snowcapped mountains to lakes to Red Rocks, part of the design by Italian cinema firm DeCa Designs.
🪑 Recliners, Plus Cuddle Chairs Up Front: All 10 houses have heated luxury recliners, and two are premium EMX large-format rooms. The front row is wide couch-style cuddle chairs with an ottoman.
🍕 Little Dot Pizza + a Full Bar: Emagine's own fresh-dough pizza comes out of a 900-degree oven (hitting DoorDash in August), and the full bar pours craft cocktails, beer, and wine with five local and craft taps to start.
💵 Cheapest Day is Tuesday: Emagine Rewards members pay just $5 on Tuesdays. Otherwise pricing moves with the showtime, roughly $10.95 for a matinee adult recliner up to about $13.95 at standard and evening times.
🎉 More Than Movies — Private Events & Rentals: Beyond regular showtimes, Emagine Parker books corporate events and big-screen presentations, private parties (wedding showers, bachelor/bachelorette, anniversaries), full auditorium rentals (holiday parties, independent film screenings), school-group field trips, and children’s birthday parties — all through the event request form on Emagine’s site.
❤️ Opened with a Cause: The June 30 invitation-only grand opening benefited HopeKids Colorado, funding a private movie day for local families with a child facing a life-threatening condition.
