A luxury nine-screen cinema — introducing a next-generation moviegoing experience to the region — is beginning shows this weekend in a haven known for moviemaking and a creative environment nourishing storytelling.
The newest outpost of Southeastern chain Georgia Theatre Company, Inc. (“GTC Cinemas”) is opening at the region’s newest state-of-the-art entertainment and special event venue Trilith LIVE, located at 165 Trilith Parkway in Fayetteville, Georgia.
The first movies now available on the Trilith Cinemas website are James Cameron’s epic action film Avatar: Fire and Ash; twisty thriller The Housemaid starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried; and animated family films Disney’s Zootopia 2 (already a smash hit at the global box office), David (the Biblical hero!) and The Spongebob Movie (underwater hero).
The new multiplex of auditoriums range from the GTX Georgia Theatre Extreme room which currently houses the Avatar sequel to smaller viewing rooms for independent or artier fare.
The new Georgia Theatre Company cinema promises a moviegoing experience unlike any other. It will feature a revolutionary Samsung Onyx screen for crystal-clear LED brilliance and the GTX Premium Large Format auditorium for an immersive audio-visual experience.
Complete with full-service bars, the theater is positioned to become a premier destination for unforgettable nights out. Businesses or groups can also reserve auditoriums for events.
“We are thrilled to partner with Trilith to introduce a cinema experience that sets a new standard for moviegoers,” said Bo Chambliss, president of Georgia Theatre Company. “We are not just opening a new theatre; we are creating an unparalleled entertainment destination. This cinema is a testament to our commitment to delivering the magic of the movies, and we can’t wait for the community to experience it with us.”
Among the many features of the new theatre are “Bargain Tuesdays” with discounted tickets. With all the talk about the relevance of movie theatres for shared experiences and a 2026 ahead with new tentpole Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan movies and new Shrek, Toy Story and Avengers blockbusters, it will be a watershed year for major event spectacles.
We’ll share more news as our Silver Screen Capture team pays its first visit to Trilith Cinemas for Friday, December 18 programming.
