Showcase Cinema de Lux in Randolph, Massachusetts, featuring both an IMAX and MX4D theater, will close its doors on March 1. The company stated, “It has been our pleasure to serve the Randolph community.”
A Changing Landscape for Movie Theaters
The Randolph location is the latest in a series of closures for National Amusements, the parent company, which was acquired by Paramount Skydance in 2025 for $2.4 billion. Previously, the Showcase Cinema at Patriot Place also closed, though Phoenix Theaters is currently renovating that location with an expected opening this summer.
The closure leaves National Amusements operating only seven theaters within Massachusetts, along with locations in New York, Rhode Island, and Ohio. The future of the Randolph property remains unclear, as Paramount Skydance did not respond to requests for comment.
