Springfield’s only movie theater is finishing a renovation project under its new ownership.

Cinema 10 was sold to the Minnesota-based United Entertainment Corp. (UEC) in 2018 and has been working to renovate the aging theater into modernity ever since.

The theater at 3115 E. National Road remains open during renovations, but fewer screens are available.

Here are three things we know about the Springfield Cinema 10 renovation:

1. The renovation of "almost every square inch" cost nearly $2 million.

2. In 2018, Cinema 10 added leather, power reclining seats with extra leg room.

3.  The renovation includes a new indoor box office, self-serve ticket kiosks, concession stand with more food options, remodeled bathrooms and a lobby,  and updates to the exterior of the theater.

UEC said they are planning a grand re-opening to celebrate the renovation.
