Mayor Bill Finch announced that Cinépolis USA, a luxury cinema complex, will build a 50,000 square foot cinema at Bridgeport’s Steelpointe Harbor, projected to open in 2017. He was joined by former Bridgeport Mayor’s Leonard Paoletta, Tom Bucci, and John Fabrizi, as well as several other elected officials, community and business leaders, and trade union representatives.

 

“This is great news, serving as further proof that Bridgeport is getting better every day,” said Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch. “Steelpointe Harbor will create thousands of jobs and add millions to our tax rolls. It’s the largest economic development project in Bridgeport since the Industrial Revolution. We’re thrilled to have Cinépolis USA join several other top-notch companies at the Steelpointe Harbor waterfront development.”

 

Cinépolis Bridgeport marks Cinépolis USA’s debut into Connecticut. It also marks the introduction of the exhibitor’s second hybrid location with its offering of two unique auditorium concepts in one cinema, “Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas” and “Cinépolis.”

 

The theater’s five “Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas” auditoriums will offer guests a luxury movie-going experience with fully reclining leather seats and in-theater waiter service and dining with full bar, available at the touch of a button. Guests of the theater’s seven “Cinépolis” auditoriums will enjoy a premium theater experience with comfortable seating and access to the gourmet menu and full bar in the lobby area.

 

“Steelpointe Harbor is the perfect project to launch one of our first theaters in the Northeast,” said Neil Baron, Vice President of Real Estate, Cinépolis USA. “We take much pride in selecting the best locations when we introduce our theater concept to new markets.

The combination of great demographics, beautiful design, mix of uses and prime waterfront made Steelpointe Harbor extremely desirable to us.”

 

“This innovative theater concept will significantly elevate the cinema experience in Fairfield County,” said Douglas Jerum, Steelpointe Harbor leasing consultant made the announcement. “It’s an exciting entertainment component of the project that will be unlike anything available in the region today.”
