The Showcase Cinema de Lux Hanover Crossing in Hanover, Massachusetts is now open.

Located in the Hanover Crossing mixed-use development on Washington Street just south of Pilgrims Highway (about 23 miles southeast of Boston), the new eight-screen movie theater opened November 16, 2022. Hanover Crossing replaced the enclosed Hanover Mall, which was demolished. The new movie theater replaced the former Patriot Cinemas - Hanover Mall Cinemas 10, which closed in 2020 and was demolished to make room for the Hanover Crossing Residences apartments.

When the theater was announced in 2019, the plan was for ten screens instead of the eight that were eventually built, and that it would open in 2021. The coronavirus pandemic slowed things down a bit, so opening in 2022 is not all that far off their original mark. It features one XPlus Laser Premium Large Format auditorium that has laser projection, a Dolby Atmos™ immersive sound system, power recliners, and a large screen that should be perfect for the blockbusters coming to theaters.

Outside of the auditoriums, guests can visit the bar and lounge in the lobby that features Starbucks coffee and espresso, cocktails, and local craft beer selections from Untold Brewing, Mayflower Brewing Company, and Burke's Aleworks. Burke's Aleworks in Hanover has partnered with the theater to create a custom beer that will be available on tap exclusively at the cinema.

"We are truly thrilled to open the new Showcase Cinema de Lux Hanover Crossing to give movie-goers on the South Shore the best possible movie-going experience. We look forward to inviting customers and guests to experience all of the features of this brand new cinema themselves this holiday season," said Mark Malinowski, Vice President of Global Marketing for Showcase Cinemas. "Community involvement and support is extremely important to us at Showcase Cinemas, and we are proud to be part of the fabric of the Hanover and South Shore communities as a whole."

The full press release is included below.

The movie theater is operated by National Amusements, which has locations under the Showcase, Cinema de Lux, SuperLux, and UCI brands across Massachussetts, the United States, and the United Kingdom, as well as in Argentina and Brazil.

Until now, moviegoers in the area needed to visit one of the other nearby theaters, including the Cameo Theater in South Weymouth and the Patriot Cinemas - Loring Hall Cinema in Hingham.
