Star Cinema (theater)

Star Cinema (theater)

Star Cinema is a movie theater chain owned by AGT Enterprises, Inc., of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, with nine locations in the states of Iowa and Wisconsin in the United States of America. Altogether, the chain's nine locations include 95 total movie screens, including Wisconsin's only IMAX theater at the Fitchburg location. Eight of the nine theaters were built by Star Cinema, the exception being the Hilldale Theater in Madison, Wisconsin, which was acquired in 2000.

Notable features

The Star Cinema chain uses large, decorated lobbies usually centered around a theme in all new theatres; for example, the Dubuque location's lobby is based on the Mississippi River, with a riverboat mural and river rock accents. Mints are served by an usher after every movie. In January 2008, AGT enterprises sold six of the seven remaining Star Cinema Locations to Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatres. AGT Will continue to operate the Prarie du Chien theater.
