About Us

Essex Cinemas is a locally owned and operated movie theater located at The Essex Experience. We opened in October 2001 as the first Stadium Seating Cinema in Vermont. That opening set the bar for comfort, technology, and innovation and we continue to stay at the forefront of movie industry change to deliver the very best movie experience to our audiences.

The cornerstone of Essex Cinemas is our state-of-the-art, 400-seat theater, showcasing the latest advances in technology and comfort, trademarked at T-REX (Theater Real Extreme) by Eurowest Cinemas. The T-Rex Theater opened in November of 2010 and features an enormous 60-foot curved screen (the largest in Vermont, by more than 70%) and uses the latest in Christie digital projection processing for both 2D and RealD 3D movies. Movie-goers can relax in extra wide leather rockers with memory foam headrests, while 18 amplifiers, 124 speakers, and our 10,400-watt Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound System provide amazing, crystal clear sound.

Community is very important to us. We work with many local groups and charities to help where we can, hosting Blood Drives with the Red Cross and making frequent donations to help fundraising efforts for example. We provide open and closed captioning for those with hearing difficulties and we are the only theater in the area to offer sensory-friendly showings to help those with sensory sensitivity enjoy movies as well.

At Essex Cinemas we offer daily ticket discounts for military personnel, seniors, and students. We are also the ONLY theater in the area with a Rewards Card program, which earns you free movies and concessions. Special programs like our free Summer "To-View" List Card give you another opportunity to earn free movie passes. We have a special room for birthday parties along with two fantastic party packages, gift cards, and e-gift cards are available, and our free weekly newsletter keeps you up to date with all that is happening here at Vermont's best movie experience...Essex Cinemas!
