Star Theatres

Based solely in Michigan, Star was known for having exceptional service, extravagant interior designs, many screens, and in some cases, stadium-style seating.

The chain made the Summer 1990 Entertainment Weekly Honor Roll for movie theaters with the late Detroit Free Press critic Kathy Huffhines declaring, "IT'S FRIENDLY, kicky, and cute and looks like a bright red-and-white jukebox from the outside.".

[1] The slogan was "Love*Laugh*Live" and "Larger than Life".

[citation needed] The chain came to prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s as more audiences chose to view films at a megaplex.

The Loeks sold their 50% interest in the chain to Loews Cineplex Theatres in 2002.
