The Manhattan Town Center and Carmike Cinemas will bring a new, state-of-the-art movie theater to downtown Manhattan.

The multi-million dollar project is being built on the same footprint as the former Sears location with demolition of the old Sears building already underway. The new 13-screen all-stadium seating theater, which will include a 575 seat IMAX theater and five auditoriums that offer food and beverage options, is anticipated for a 2016 grand opening.

The new development will offer Carmike’s full-service dining experience along with the immersive presentation of IMAX equipped with a large, wall-to-wall screen, digital projection and surround sound.
