CHICAGO’S VENUE FOR INDEPENDENT, FOREIGN, CULT AND CLASSIC FILMS

Turn onto Southport Avenue and it’s hard to resist the neon beacon that lures
cinephiles from across Chicagoland with eight flickering letters—Music Box. It’s
a promise of more than just entertainment, but a total experience. It’s a
community of strangers coming together over the anticipation of that familiar
red velvet curtain rising toward the twinkling, star-covered ceiling. It’s a
symbol of Chicago’s go-to venue for independent, foreign, cult, and classic
films.

Walk by the ticket window and step back in time to when the ‘20s were still
roaring and the theatre first opened—just two months before The Great
Depression—on August 22, 1929. It was a time before fluorescent lighting,
megaplexes, and artificial butter. And although our ticket prices have changed
slightly over the past 90 or so years, the butter on our popcorn is still real.

Each of our theatre’s 700 seats has a story to tell. The stories are more
colorful than the decades of films projected here; of first dates that took
place under the starry sky; of family traditions revolving around the annual
White Christmas singalong; of the ghost some say haunts the theatre to this day.
Join us, and make a few memories of your own. It’s certain to be an experience
as unforgettable as the film itself.

The Music Box Theatre is independently owned and operated by the Southport Music
Box Corporation. SMBC, through its Music Box Films division, also distributes
foreign and independent films in the theatrical, DVD and television markets
throughout the United States.
