Child cancer patients and their families will get the star treatment at Emagine Theater in Royal Oak on Thursday.

The Bottomless Toy Chest, a Birmingham-based charity, is hosting a special red carpet private screening of the movie “Despicable Me 3” for twenty-five children receiving treatment for cancer.
