After recent concerns that iPic Theaters in Fort Lee could close, the dine-in movie theater has officially been saved following its acquisition by CMX Cinemas. Located at 2023 Hudson Street inside Hudson Lights, <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/fort-lee-nj-film-history-hollywood-east\/\">iPic Fort Lee<\/a> has been a local go-to since opening on August 5th, 2016. This theater is known&nbsp;for reclining seats, in-theater dining, cocktails, and food delivered directly to guests\u2019 seats. <strong>Read on for more about iPic Theaters in Fort Lee and what this means for Bergen County moviegoers.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-239858\" src=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/ipic-fort-lee-800x533.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/ipic-fort-lee-800x533.png 800w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/ipic-fort-lee-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/ipic-fort-lee-585x390.png 585w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/ipic-fort-lee-263x175.png 263w, https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/06\/ipic-fort-lee.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Original Closure Concerns<\/h2>\n<p>Back in March 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/jerseydigs.com\/ipic-theater-fort-lee-closing\/\"><em>Jersey Digs<\/em><\/a> reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/experience-gifts-bergen-county-nj\/\">iPic<\/a> Theaters in Fort Lee was expected to close after nearly a decade in business. The news came as a disappointment to many locals, especially those who had come to rely on the theater as one of the area\u2019s few nearby options for a full movie night experience without having to travel far.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/jerseydigs.com\/ipic-theater-fort-lee-closing\/\"><em>Jersey Digs<\/em><\/a>, iPic Theaters LLC had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. At the time, the company operated 13 dine-in theater locations and eight restaurant units nationwide. The Fort Lee outpost at Hudson Lights was its only New Jersey location. The potential closure would have marked the end of a nearly 10-year run for the Bergen County theater.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>iPic Fort Lee Will Stay Open<\/h2>\n<p>Just a few months after the news of its closure, the story took a major turn. Rather than closing for good, iPic Fort Lee has been spared. CMX Cinemas has acquired several iPic locations across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, and New Jersey, including the Fort Lee theater. The acquisition means Bergen County moviegoers can continue visiting the Hudson Lights location for movies, dining, and the theater\u2019s signature premium experience. Even better: the theater is expected to continue operating under the iPic brand, so guests can still expect the same <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/best-date-night-spots-bergen-county-new-jersey\/\">elevated<\/a> moviegoing setup that made the <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/fort-lee-nj-film-history-hollywood-east\/\">Fort Lee<\/a> location a local favorite in the first place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Read More:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/fort-lee-nj-film-history-hollywood-east\/\">Fort Lee, NJ: The Birthplace of American Film + Its Hollywood History<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What Makes iPic Fort Lee Different<\/h2>\n<p>For anyone who has never been, iPic is not your average movie theater. Think of it as the golden-ticket version of a night at the movies. Guests can settle into spacious reclining Premium Plus seats while enjoying a chef-driven food menu, cocktails, and classic concessions delivered directly to their seats throughout the film. Instead of rushing through dinner before showtime, moviegoers can make the meal part of the experience itself. The setup makes iPic a popular pick for date nights, birthdays, family outings, friend hangs, and those \u201clet\u2019s do something, but not too much\u201d nights when dinner and a movie sounds exactly right.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>See More:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/bergen\/bergen-county-nj-nyc-vibes\/\">20+ Bergen County Spots That Feel Like New York City<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Carli from <em>The Bergen Girl<\/em> team is a longtime iPic fan and frequently visits with friends and family.

The Fort Lee development is home to restaurants, coffee shops, and other businesses, giving visitors plenty of options to grab a bite, meet up with friends, or continue the fun after the credits roll.
