CMX Old Orchard Luxury

CMX Old Orchard Luxury is the higher-end CMX cinema at the Old Orchard shopping center in Skokie, with reclining seats featuring individual tray tables, cup holders, and reading lights, plus a food hall and bar. Reviews are notably split: fans praise the plush, private-feeling seating and roomy layout, while a detailed critical review describes broken escalators and elevators as a recurring, longstanding complaint, a food hall with a thin selection, and glaring aisle lighting on the stairways that some found distracting during films. That same critical reviewer also notes the seats lack heated settings and adjustable headrests, unlike some competing Illinois theaters. Other recent visitors report a straightforwardly good experience — clean, comfortable, decent popcorn and beer — suggesting results vary by visit. Expect premium pricing here relative to a standard multiplex, reflecting the "luxury" positioning.
