FAQ

Many of our guests have questions about renting out our auditoriums for events, especially during COVID-19, when families might feel more comfortable controlling and knowing who is the auditorium with them. The following is a FAQ about how auditorium rentals and private screenings work.

RENTALS vs PRIVATE SCREENINGS

All of our auditoriums are available for rent to use for meetings, events, and other gatherings. When you rent the auditorium, it is typically for a 2 hour block of time, with 15 minutes allotted in front and back of your start time. Rentals include the use of the screen and projection capabilities if you have a digital presentation, home movie or private DVD you would like to show to your invited guests.

This is whenever we play a licensed movie for you and your guests to enjoy. A licensed film can be a first-run film that is booked to play once released or a repertory title (older film) that we can request specifically for your event, though not all films are available for theatrical exhibition.

Renters who want to show an older film (repertory titles) can provide us with a list of movie titles you are interested in and we can check to see if it is available to license and play for your event. Doing so can add a nominal fee to the cost of the rental, but oftentimes it is a small price to pay to have the perfect movie viewing. Note: Disney does not typically allow any of their catalog films to play outside of their scheduled release. We will do our best to accommodate such requests; however, it is advised to select other movie titles.

Once you have found the perfect film for your event, the next step is to choose a date and time.
Weekends are usually busier and, as we are operating at much higher capacities, are pricier than weekdays and may have less availability.
Essentially, give us your preferred time and place and, as long as it falls within normal operating hours, we will do our utmost to accommodate you and make sure your event goes off without a hitch!

Prices for auditorium rentals are based on the day, time, and number of guests expected to attend. General price ranges are listed below.
UP TO 20 GUESTS = starting at $375 for a weekday /  weekends +$75 to $200.  (Rates can vary based on time of day and year)
UP TO 30 GUESTS = starting at $475 for a weekday /  weekends +$50 to $200.  (Rates can vary based on time of day and year)

If we booked and licensed a repertory film for your event, an additional charge of $125-$175 would apply. This fee varies and is dependent on the production studio of said film.


All applicable taxes are included in the rental fee. No additional taxes will be charged.
Special Pricing is available for Discounted Group Concessions when a auditroium is rented. 

Payment is due no less than seven (7) days before the event is scheduled. Due to the necessity of canceling public showings and scheduling staff, all rental fees are non-refundable once paid.
Credit card payments will require an additional $10 processing fee.

If you are hosting an event via auditorium rental that does NOT include showing a licensed movie or consists of a movie that you have the rights to exhibit, then legally you can charge admission.
If you are hosting a private screening that includes a licensed movie, then you may NOT charge admission to your event. However, you may collect funds from individuals equal to their share of the admission price that you paid (in other words, they can pay you back for the ticket).

Typically, our concession stand will be open to sell our wide selection of refreshments to attendees. If you would like to host your guests, we can provide vouchers for pre-paid packages or run a tab.

Special Discounted Concessions Pricing is available when a auditroium is rented. 

 

Our Cinema Café provides catering services for sandwiches, pizza, and other items if you are looking to offer your guests something more substantial than just snacks.
We do allow third-party food catering for some events. Additional charges per head will apply for this allowance.

For events that include guests 21 years and older, Hosted and Non Hosted Bar services (beer and wine) are also available for your event. We are not able to allow third parties to provide bar services on-premises or guests to bring in their own alcohol.

Our auditoriums have always been thoroughly cleaned after each showing, but now due to COVID-19 we have implemented additional procedures. These procedures include wiping down touch surfaces, using a fogger to disinfect other commonly-missed surfaces, and providing extra time between screenings. Cleaning would occur prior to your event and then again immediately after.

If you are ready to start planning and book your event, then please reach out to the General Manager at the Theater location you are interested in or to our Group Sales at our corporate office. (Contacts Information listed at the bottom)

We start the process by collecting your billing & contact information along with a discussion to understand the event you are looking to host and plan.

Once you have provided us all the essential information on your events such as the Film, Date, Time, and food options you would like, then we prepare a draft rental agreement for you to review.

Once you have reviewed the agreement and it is correct and includes everything you need for your event, then you simply sign it and return it. This places your event onto our event calendar and holds the date and time so no one else can book the same slot. Events can be booked and held up to 90 days in advance.  Once we approach less than 14 days for the event the deposit amount (typically the full amount of the rental is due in order to “lock-in” your event)

In order to accommodate your event, we typically have to remove public screenings from our schedule.  As such, once your event is less than 10 days way your deposit becomes non-refundable even if you cancel the event.

Please note that failure to confirm and pay by this date could cause your event to fall off our calendar and allow someone else to book your time slot.

Also, please note that studios can change the release date of a film and that they can also sometimes limit the availability of films that they allow to play at theaters. We can make no guarantees that a specific movie will be available or allowed to play on the date of your event. In a situation where a film is removed from our schedule, we can work with you to provide an alternative film or refund you your deposit if the event is canceled at the last moment due to unforeseen studio restrictions.  

A few days prior to your event a call between you and the theater location should take place to go over any last-minute details for your event.   

On the day of your event, the host should arrive and check-in about 30 to 45 minutes prior to their event. 


GROUP BUYOUTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR MOST FILMS

Here is a list of some of the movies playing in theater now and upcoming titles that you may want to consider as part of your event. Please note that during the COVID-19 pandemic release dates change more often than under typical circumstances.
