This is so much better than the dollar theater I used to go to,” I gushed to my friend after we had placed our orders. It’s a movie-goer’s “Easy Button” press it at any time during the show, and a server arrives to take an order, to bring a drink, to refill a soda, to deal a slice of cheesecake. Each movie theater seat–which is wide, comfortable, clad in leather, and possibly the most comfortable theater seat I’ve ever lounged in–comes equipped with a red call button. In addition to convenience, SMG focuses on state-of-the-art, seat-side service. Or, as SMG’s website suggests, a movie-goer can “leave the lines at the amusement park” and conveniently reserve seats online.

There are kiosks–similar to what can be found at airports–from which tickets can be purchased. The central Indiana theater now boasts a full-service bar and an area for socializing before or after a flick. SMG, a Dallas-based company that prides itself on redefining the in-theater dining experience, spent seven figures renovating Movie Buff Theatre on Indianapolis’ northwest side. The theater seats are satisfyingly comfortable, and are equipped with a personal tray table and a red call button.
