Taylor, MI: Cinemark Southland Center and XD Opens Today

Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2016 11:35 AM and updated on Friday, April 22, 2016 2:25 PM

Cinemark logoThe Cinemark Southland Center and XD in Taylor, Michigan opens later today, with grand opening events scheduled for the next three days. The theater is located at 23000 Eureka Road in the Southland Center shopping center, which is near I-75 and Eureka Road in the city of Taylor, which is just southwest of downtown Detroit.

The 12-screen movie theater's location was the subject of some competition back in July 2014, when both Cinemark and MJR Digital Cinemas announced plans for movie theaters:

That November, MJR announced that they were dropping their plans to renovate the former Spotlight Taylor 10, which was across the street from the Cinemark's location. The company still operates the MJR Southgate Digital Cinema 20 in Southgate, which is about three miles away and represents the new theater's closest competition.
