ShowPlace ICON at Roosevelt Collection with ICON-X was a premium dine‑in movie theater in Chicago’s South Loop, known for reserved seating, upscale food and drink, and upgraded “ICON-X” large-format auditoriums with enhanced sound and projection. It sat in the Roosevelt Collection complex at 1011 S Delano Ct E and was part of the smaller Kerasotes/ShowPlace ICON chain, which marketed itself as a higher-end alternative to standard multiplexes.

Quick Scoop on the Theater

  • Location: Roosevelt Collection, 1011 S Delano Ct E, in Chicago’s South Loop, integrated into a mixed-use shopping and dining complex.
  • Concept: Premium cinema with stadium-style reserved seating, in-theater dining, and a full bar/lounge aimed at making it a “night out” destination rather than just a basic theater stop.
  • ICON-X: Branded large-format screens with high-end projection and immersive audio meant to compete with formats like IMAX or Dolby Cinema, offering rumble seats and powerful sound systems in at least some auditoriums.

What the Experience Was Like

  • Seating: Reclining, reserved seats with VIP areas that were 21+ only, set farther back from the screen for better sightlines even in front VIP rows.
  • Tech: 4K laser projection for major titles and Dolby Atmos-style surround sound that made big action movies feel intense, with noticeable seat rumble during heavy sound sequences.
  • Food & drink: Restaurant-style menu, in-theater service, and a full bar/lounge, marketed as “Theatre & Kitchen,” so people could treat it like a dinner-and-a-movie in one place.
  • Surroundings: Guests could pair a movie with nearby restaurants and shops in the Roosevelt Collection, plus enjoy skyline views from the outdoor areas of the complex.
