Megaplex Theatres at Valley Fair Mall
West Valley City, Utah
Megaplex Theatres will open a new 15-screen theater at Valley Fair Mall by November 2012. Construction will begin after the holidays with the demolition of the vacant Mervyn's department store building. The 112,000-square-foot theater complex will feature 2,700 seats with reserved stadium seating, digital projection, D-BOX motions seats, an IMAX theater, a full-service food court, and a “Director’s Suite” reception hall. The theater is part of a $40-million remodeling project that will expand Valley Fair Mall to 120 tenants and more than a million square feet.

10 great places to see a classic cinema
USA Today, 22 November 2001
Article Summary:
The Villa Theatre in Salt Lake City, Utah was included in a list of 10 historic movie palaces in the United States that still are entrancing audiences. The list was compiled by Ross Melnick and Patrick Crowley, founders of the cinematreasures.org web site.
Of the Villa, the article said, "Several mid-1990s renovations restored the theater's original
1949 murals and neon-laden facade, and with Utah's largest screen (at 93 feet), 'this 1,000-seat jewel is the last historic movie house operating in the city
and is still one of the best places to see a movie in America.'"
