Century 12 Evanston and Century CineArts 6

Century 12 Evanston and Century CineArts 6 are two movie theater locations in Evanston, Illinois, United States, that operate under the Century Theatres brand. Century Theatres is a regional cinema chain that was acquired by Cinemark Holdings, Inc., one of the largest motion picture exhibitors in the world. The two Evanston sites are part of the broader Cinemark circuit, which spans the United States and multiple international markets. The Century 12 Evanston location is a multiplex with twelve screens, while Century CineArts 6 is a smaller six-screen venue; both offer first-run Hollywood and independent films, reserved seating, digital projection, and concession stands typical of modern American multiplexes. The theaters serve the Chicago North Shore community, including Northwestern University students and local residents. As part of Cinemark, these locations participate in national programs such as Cinemark Movie Club, discounted Tuesday tickets, and private event rentals. The official website for the Century brand, centurytheaters.com, redirects to Cinemark's main site, where showtimes, tickets, and theater information are available. The Evanston theaters are not standalone corporate entities but branded venues within the Cinemark portfolio, and their operations, marketing, and booking systems are integrated with Cinemark's national platform.

The Century 12 Evanston and Century CineArts 6 theaters are located in Evanston, Illinois, a city on the North Shore of Chicago. Both venues carry the Century Theatres name, a brand that originated in the western United States and grew into a regional circuit. In the 2000s, Century Theatres was acquired by Cinemark Holdings, Inc., a major exhibitor headquartered in Plano, Texas. Following the acquisition, Century-branded locations were integrated into Cinemark's operations, benefiting from national purchasing, marketing, and technology upgrades. The Evanston theaters serve a diverse audience that includes Northwestern University students, families, and filmgoers from surrounding suburbs. The Century 12 Evanston offers a larger screen count for wide-release films, while Century CineArts 6 historically focused on art-house and independent cinema, though specific programming may vary. Both locations have undergone transitions to digital projection and, in some cases, premium formats. As of the 2020s, they remain active under the Cinemark umbrella, with ticketing and showtimes available through Cinemark's website and mobile app. The theaters are not independently owned; they are part of a publicly traded company, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), which operates hundreds of theaters across the United States and internationally.
