"The state-of-the-art Santikos Palladium Imax theatre, being their flagship location, is a perfect complement to the realistic motion effects our seating offers moviegoers."
Complete with 19 auditoriums all with stadium seating, digital sound and projection, two full-service restaurants, a mezzanine bar and a state-of-the-art gaming area, Santikos Palladium IMAX is comprehensively cutting edge. With an ornate exterior unlike any other movie theatre, the Palladium IMAX resembles something out of Greek mythology while the interior exhibits VIP amenities and high tech touches unique to most movie theatres today.
"D-BOX is doing tremendously well at the box office," said Chief Operating Officer of Santikos Theatres, Art Seago.
