MJR Digital Cinemas has announced the all new MJR Troy Grand Digital Cinema 16 coming to the City of Troy. Ground breaking is scheduled for September 2013 and the new MJR Cinema will open in late April or early May of 2014.

This new project, located at the southeast corner of Maple Road and Livernois in the City of Troy, will house 16 screens with 3200 seats in 74,000 square feet.  MJR Troy Grand will bring 70 new jobs to the area, and the project expects to draw over 800,000 patrons per year to the site.

The MJR Troy Grand will have all of  the amenities patrons have come to love at MJR, including a preview screen in the lobby showing continuous movie previews, five auditoriums equipped to show movies in the high definition 3-D format, MJR’s free refill policy on pop and popcorn, and their free, patron friendly, Movie Rewards Program.
