Development of Downtown Daybreak in South Jordan welcomed a new addition on July 2 when the Larry H. Miller Megaplex opened its doors. The entertainment center, located adjacent to The Ballpark at America First Square, includes movie theatres, bowling, games and dining experiences, along with private event and party space. It’s located at 11068 S. Grandville Ave.

Cutting the ribbon were Steve Miller, chairman of the board for the Larry H. Miller Company, LHM CEO Steve Starks, Miller Sports + Entertainment president Michelle Smith, Megaplex president Britten Maughan and South Jordan Mayor Dawn Ramsey. 

“Megaplex is a place where extraordinary moments become cherished memories,” Maughan said in a release. “We are thrilled to open Megaplex’s first cinema entertainment center with cinema, bowling, games and enhanced dining options, securing Megaplex’s position as a place to live life larger."

The new Megaplex cinema entertainment center at Downtown Daybreak features eight cinema screens with two MegaScreens for large presentations, premiere sound featuring Dolby Atmos, laser projection, heated luxury recliners, and Dine-In Luxury, which includes a server and enhanced food and beverage offerings.

There are 18 lanes for bowling that feature Spark® by Brunswick, the first augmented-reality, interactive experience. Spark leverages the latest projection technology to bring Brunswick's dynamic, engaging Sync Scoring animations to the lane surface. Bowlers can select their Spark experience directly on the Sync tablets, choosing from a vast and ever-expanding library of games. Laneside dining service is available, along with a Mother’s room and lounge.

The center also has 65 arcade games and the Megaplex Dining area.

In a release, Megaplex said a recent study by the National Research Group showed an impressive 76% of the American population ages 12-74 attended at least one movie in theaters in 2024, which translates to approximately 200 million Americans. Moviegoing is the second most frequent out-of-home entertainment activity, behind only eating at a restaurant. Megaplex is the largest Utah-based movie theatre chain and the 17th-largest circuit in North America.
