Universal’s Great Movie Escape invites guests of all ages to solve their way through a pair of first-of-its-kind escape rooms based on two of the biggest film franchises in history. Guests can now book epic adventures inspired by Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s iconic Jurassic World and Back to the Future films. Cinemark has its own subscription discount service, Cinemark Movie Club, which will be accepted there, instead.Tickets are now on sale! Universal Orlando has announced that Universal’s Great Movie Escape at Universal CityWalk will open on the 9th December. The switch from AMC to Cinemark also affects Universal guests who have subscribed to AMC's A-List subscription service, which will not be accepted at the theaters after the 13th, obviously. No word yet on how long the refurbishments will take to complete. Having seen what Universal did with the Hollywood theaters, I figured that a major refurbishment in Orlando must be imminent.Īnd it was. I saw Avengers: Infinity War there last spring on my first visit to the theaters in years and was surprised by the mediocrity of the experience. But the Orlando theaters remained mired in early-2000s style and technology. AMC can provide a superior theater experience, as it did with its recently renovated theaters at Universal Studios Hollywood's CityWalk, which feature all-recliner seating, upgraded Christie projectors, Dolby Atmos sound, and a 'Director's Lounge' upstairs bar. One of the theaters will become a Cinemark XD auditorium, with a wall-to-wall screen and advanced projection and sound systems in addition to the chain's 'Luxury Lounger' seating.ĪMC is not known as a premier theater brand when compared with more upscale competitors such as Alamo Drafthouse and Arclight Cinemas.

Then Universal and Cinemark will begin renovating the 20 theaters to all-recliner seating. The movie theaters will close on September 14 to swap the branding on the theaters, which will reopen as Universal Cinemark at CityWalk on September 15.
