“We’re excited to add Landmark Theatres to our elevated retail lineup and to bring a unique moviegoing experience to the community,” says Richard Hunt, General Manager of Scottsdale Quarter. “The new cinema will be a great compliment to the shopping center and adds to our already dynamic offering of shopping, dining, and entertainment.”

Landmark Theatres President and COO Paul Serwitz stated: “We are very excited to extend our brand in a beautifully designed luxury theatre in an upscale center. This announcement is especially joyous for us, coming out of a period of pandemic-induced retraction of business in the world at large.”
The opening of the theatre will time perfectly with the onslaught of prestige pictures that are released during the award season cycle and will offer locals the opportunity to see these films in an upscale setting. This is Landmark’s first theatre in the market. The theatre will open in the former IPIC Theaters space, designed by TK Architects, at 15257 N Scottsdale Rd, Suite 230, Scottsdale, AZ 85254
“The Landmark at Scottsdale Quarter will be a sophisticated setting for a new community to engage with our brand that elevates the moviegoing experience and is known for its wide-ranging programming and discerning audience. This theatre is a perfect fit and we look forward to entertaining the community for years to come.”
