Marcus Theatres comes to Sun Prairie!

Construction on a 16-screen movie theater in Sun Prairie could start as soon as the spring of 2010. In August, the Milwaukee-based company signed an agreement to buy about 16 acres in Sun Prairie’s Prairie Lakes development at highways C and 151. The project, which would include a 500-seat Ultrascreen theater, in-theater dining and a full-service restaurant, would join Target as the development’s second anchor tenant.  Once construction starts, the project is expected to take a year to complete, he said. The new theater would replace the Marcus-owned Eastgate Cinema at 5202 High Crossing Blvd.
