Emagine Noblesville Theatre, 13825 Norell Road, Noblesville, held a grand re-opening celebration this week after sparing no expense to bring the magic back to a trip to the movies.
The Grand Re-Opening was a private event that supported two local charities, the Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank and The Cooper House. Each charity received a charitable donation from Emagine Entertainment to help support their efforts in the community. Nearly 300 guests attended the opening night.
“We are privileged to be a part of the Noblesville community and look forward to working more closely with local businesses and organizations in an effort to help support each other,” Emagine Entertainment CEO Anthony LaVerde said.
“It’s all about giving you an experience that you can’t enjoy at home,” Emagine Entertainment Chairman Paul Glantz told The Reporter. “We have a product called EMX. It’s Emagine Maximum Experience. It’s a premium large format film and we do have one of those auditoriums here. EMX has Dolby Atmos® sound to go with the 70-foot wide screen. It’s a pretty spectacular picture.”
Glantz told The Reporter Emagine likes to give back to the communities they serve, and they started that on the first night with check presentations to local non-profits.
“I was honored to present check to Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank and The Cooper House tonight,” Glantz said.

With shows beginning as early as 11 a.m. and running until late evening, there is a little something for everyone.
“We largely show first run feature films, but we mix it up with a product know as flashback cinema, which is a curated series of beloved classic films,” Glantz said.
Elf, White Christmas and others are part of the Christmas flashback cinema package.
“We need folks to come in and try it once,” Glantz said. “I think if they try it once they won’t go anywhere else.”
No expense was spared during the renovation. Emagine’s luxury theater has heated, reclining chairs, gourmet snacks, reserved seating, in-seat service and more. Emagine offers adult patrons the option of enjoying their favorite cocktail, beer or wine while concurrently maintaining a genteel and welcoming environment for families.
“Emagine Theatres have been loved by their movie goers, so we are thrilled for the residents of Noblesville and the surrounding area, that we are able to re-open the newly renovated Emagine Noblesville,” Glantz said. “We are excited to bring the Emagine experience to this wonderful community.”
