North Miami Beach, FL – January 20, 2015 – Going to the movies to sit in an uncomfortable seat and munch on stale popcorn will fortunately be a thing of the past for the residents of Miami as iPic Theaters, a luxury theater chain featuring an eight-screen, 550-seat theater will open at North Miami Beach’s Intracoastal Mall early this summer. During the press conference, it was announced construction will begin next week at the site of the former Intracoastal 8 theater. The new venue will present viewers with the ultimate movie-going experience that includes seven-foot wide plush, leg reclining seats with built-in iPads for ordering food, as well as pillows and blankets. Moviegoers will also have the choice of “Premium” or “Premium Plus” seating in the theater’s 50-80 seat auditoriums. While both levels of customers get to sit in oversized leather seats, “Premium Plus” seating reclines, and includes blankets and pillows and iPads with apps to buy food that will be delivered. Best part? Enjoy a themed cocktail to go along with your movie. A “Red Room of Pain” Fifty Shades of Grey-themed drink, a cocktail including rose petals, hum, hibiscus and ginger rum, will be flowing for the opening of the film next month.
