New MOA movie theater tickets cost how much?

CMX says the ticket price at the MOA venue will cost less than $25, but the company has not released final prices yet.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- The Mall of America's new movie theater is set to open sometime this spring, and it's being billed as a new standard of VIP experience.

CMX, a division of Mexico-based Cinemex, promises a new standard in the premium movie-going experience.

The company says it will offer a food-hall inspired gourmet ‘Grab and Go’ service where patrons can choose between stations for steak, burgers, salmon, or pizza before heading into a show.

That’s accompanied by an upscale bar, chef’s menu, and lounge, which are all available without a movie ticket.

And then there's that—the movie ticket.

Other CMX locations in Miami and Chicago charge $25 dollars for a seat.

Luxury theater experience has been a paradigm shift in theaters around the Twin Cities in recent years.

Mann, Icon, Emagine, Paragon and AMC have all upgraded theaters to offer reclining seats and/or alcohol.

“It’s become more of an experience now,” said Sean Murray, a bartender at the Emagine at Willow Creek theater. “When they find out they can take a beer or a pizza in to the theater, they are coming back and they are coming back quickly.”

Prices at most theaters in the Twin Cities range from $8 to $15.
