A new chapter for the Illinois Theater
New ownership. Same great movies. Even bigger plans for Jacksonville.
Movie Showtimes & Tickets Special Events Private Rentals
The historic Illinois Theater is entering a new era under new ownership. Our mission is simple: keep the movies playing while bringing new life and new experiences to downtown Jacksonville.
We’ll continue showing first-run movies on the big screen while expanding opportunities for private rentals, live events, and community gatherings.
Whether you're here for the latest blockbuster, a private party, or something completely new — the Illinois Theatre is just getting started.
