In 2017, Hillcrest Cinemas underwent extensive remodeling. The lobby has been completely renovated to provide an upscale and inviting atmosphere. All auditoriums have been remodeled with new seating and interior finishes. There are luxury electric leather recliners in three of the auditoriums and high-back leather rockers in the other two. Additionally, the restrooms have been updated with new finishes and fixtures.
The newly remodeled theatre now offers wine and beer selections, which patrons are welcome to bring into any auditorium. It also showcases a refreshed concession menu, featuring the addition of pub-favorite hot foods to accompany our traditional cinema fare and the kinds of uniquely Landmark offerings our guests expect, such as organic iced teas, and the finest popcorn available.
