Cinema Hollywood

Cinema Hollywood is a movie theater located in Birch Run, Michigan, in the United States. It opened in 1997 and is notable for being the first theater in the state of Michigan to open with all-stadium seating, a format that would become an industry standard. The theater is now part of the Emagine Entertainment circuit and operates under the name Emagine Birch Run. Emagine Entertainment, the parent company of Cinema Hollywood, is a regional luxury theater chain whose affiliates own and operate theaters across Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. According to the company's official website, Emagine operates 27 theaters with a combined 30,068 seats and 342 screens. The chain has been recognized as an innovator in theatrical exhibition, including being the first theater chain in the world to convert to 100% digital projection. It was also the first to introduce 4K projection to the Detroit market and deployed three of the first 100 Dolby Atmos immersive sound systems worldwide. Cinema Hollywood's history reflects the broader evolution of the Emagine brand. After opening in 1997 with stadium seating, the theater was later rebranded as Emagine Birch Run following its acquisition or integration into the Emagine Entertainment group. Emagine has continued to expand and innovate, opening the largest movie screen in Michigan in 2017 at its Novi megaplex and the largest CinemaScope screen in the Midwest in 2019 at its Canton/Westland location. In 2021, Emagine launched live music events and the Emagine Sports Lounge, and in 2022 it partnered with Caesars Sportsbook. As part of the Emagine chain, Cinema Hollywood (Emagine Birch Run) contributes to a network that has been repeatedly named "Best Movie Theater" by Detroit-area publications and ranked as the 9th largest theater chain in North America according to the 2022 Giants of Exhibition report from Boxoffice Pro.
