Cinetopia Overland Park 18

Cinetopia Overland Park 18 is a movie theater located in Overland Park, Kansas, in the United States. It was part of the Cinetopia chain of upscale cinemas, a regional exhibitor known for combining first-run film presentation with in-theater dining and a premium guest experience. The Overland Park location was one of the chain's larger multiplexes, with 18 auditoriums, and it served the Kansas City metropolitan area from its site in the Prairiefire development. Cinetopia was founded in the Pacific Northwest and expanded into the Kansas City market with this Overland Park venue. The theater offered amenities typical of the Cinetopia concept, including reserved seating, full-service dining options, and enhanced auditorium formats. It became a notable entertainment destination in Johnson County, Kansas. In 2019, Cinetopia's assets were acquired by AMC Theatres, the world's largest movie theater chain. Following the acquisition, the Overland Park location was rebranded and now operates as AMC Dine-In Prairiefire 17, reflecting AMC's dine-in format and a reconfiguration of the auditorium count. The venue continues to show first-run films and offer in-theater dining under the AMC banner. The theater's history reflects broader consolidation in the U.S. exhibition industry, in which regional premium chains were absorbed by larger national operators. Today, the site remains an active cinema serving the Overland Park and greater Kansas City area.
