EXCLUSIVE: The arthouse chain has inked a lease agreement for the five-screen former CMX Market Cinemas in Closter, New Jersey, located at 130 Vervalen Street in Closter Plaza. The new Landmark Closter Plaza will open on Friday, Sept. 30.
Landmark is upgrading the venue with the installation of new recliners in the auditoriums. At the concession stand, offerings will be expanded to include new items like caramel popcorn, vegan cookies, and gourmet chocolate bars, alongside traditional movie theatre favorites, including Coca-Cola products and popcorn with real butter.
“Closter is the latest of several acquisitions that Landmark has made this summer. This location positions us in another key market within a community destination center, enabling us to expand our brand offering in time for an exciting holiday film season,” Landmark Theatres President Kevin Holloway tells Deadline.
