B&B Theaters is opening its first Minnesota location later this month, moving into the vacant movie theater at the Mall of America.
The country s sixth-largest theater chain is assuming operations at the CMX Cinema, and will reopen as a B&B theater on May 27, a news release says. Our industry has been hit hard, and our hearts go out to operators that have been forced to close locations and to communities that have been left without theaters, B&B Theatres President and CEO Bob Bagby said in a statement. This opportunity with Mall of America has been a source of excitement and optimism for us and seems a match made in cinema heaven as it continues to grow and expand its offerings through progressive partnerships and pioneering collaborations.”

Mall of America Movie Theater to Reopen as B&B Theatres New to the Twin Cities, B&B replaces CMX, which declared bankruptcy during the pandemic and shuttered its theaters including MOA s 13 screen.
Mall of America’s 13-screen movie theater will reopen on May 27 under an operator new to the Twin Cities market, B&B Theatres.
MOA overhauled its theater in 2018 when CMX Cinema signed on, adding state-of-the-art audio and visual technology, leather recliners, and a culinary market that served scratch-made pizzas, burgers and shakes. But CMX parent company Cinemex Holdings USA Inc. declared bankruptcy last spring, shuttering all 41 of its theaters nationwide.
