History[]

The company began in 1997, and it was first known as Cinema Hollywood (now known as Emagine Birch Run), where they branched off to be known as Emagine Entertainment.

In 2016, Emagine expanded into Minnesota, acquiring Muller Family Theatres, with 8 locations in the Twin Cities metro area.[1] Six of Muller's theaters were renovated and rebranded as Emagine in 2016, followed by the Rogers and Monticello locations a year later. Emagine opened a ninth Minnesota location, in Eagan, in 2019.

Emagine expanded into Illinois with a location in Frankfort in late 2016.[2] 2 years later in 2018, the chain expanded into Wisconsin, opening a theater near Lake Geneva on August 28th.[3]

In July 2021, Emagine opened its first location in Indiana, purchasing the former 16-screen Goodrich Quality Theaters in Portage.[4]
