Marcus Theatres makes ordinary days extraordinary for our guests. We have 68 theatres in 8 states, many of which feature amenities including comfortable Dream Lounger recliner seats, Ultra Screen DLX large-format auditoriums, and food and beverage options such as Zaffiro's Express and Reel Sizzle. Founded on November 1, 1935 with a single movie theatre in the small town of Ripon, Wisconsin, Ben Marcus began what has become an entertainment and lodging empire.
