Opened September 4th, 2020
Pictured: auditorium 2, capacity 68
Here we have auditorium 2, which was where Till was being screened. Aside from auditorium 1, which was built stadium-style, the theater features tiered recliner seating, with the rows gaining a little elevation as they go further back towards the projection booth. This is an evolution of the old sloped-floor concept from before the mid-1990s, and I'm not sure why newer theaters have gone back to this format; it's not just Compass, but also R/C and Cinema Café (to a lesser extent). I will say that they do appear to be constructed so that no one's head is obstructing the view of the person in the row behind them, but I definitely prefer stadium seating since sitting in the middle of the auditorium usually puts me at eye level with the screen.
