[edit] Amenities and features

Every theater features multiple concession stands, arcade games, online and kiosk ticketing, and a futuristic environment with special lighting, LCD menu and film trailer displays, and some have a stylized special event room.

Every auditorium in every theater features the following:

  • Digital Cinema
  • DTS digital surround sound
  • Stadium seating
  • Reclining seat backs
  • Oversized luxury reclining seats
  • Retractable arm rests / cup holders / tray tables
  • 18 inch rise to each row (to promote clear line-of-sight)
  • 48 inches of excess space between each row (to add additional leg room)

In addition, large auditoriums often feature two-floor exits with central seating for patrons with physical disabilities and elevator access. Several of the theaters are also equipped with Real D 3D cinema systems. Each newly opened building is completely digital in picture and sound.

[edit] Rave and Christie Digital

In June 2006, Rave Motion Pictures announced a partnership with Christie/AIX to install 445 digital cinema systems in its theaters. Several Rave theaters (including theaters in Peoria, IL and Huntsville, AL) already have Christie systems installed and a full conversion of existing theaters was completed in August 2007.
