For people who go to movies frequently, it's cheaper now than it has ever been before. AMC A-List is only $20/month for our area, you can see up to three movies per week including 3D and IMAX, you can book online for free, you can have up to three reservations simultaneously, and you can make all of your reservations through Fandango to collect VIP rewards (essentially $1.25 per ticket in Vudu or Fandango credit). Disney and Sony both have rewards programs that allow you to get some more rewards money back from your tickets to their movies.

If you don't want to go that often and $20/month is more than you want to spend, then Tuesday prices really aren't that bad: $5.00 at B&B, $5.50 at AMC, or $7.00 at Alamo + tax and upcharge for premium formats.

Brenda Lee lived and went to school in Springfield when she was on the Ozark Jubilee ..

Alamo is doing matinee pricing on Tuesdays as well.

Came here for this!

It is on the wikipedia so it must be true.

Jake's from Ozark

North Town, Town & Country, Tower Theater (now Alice 95.5 radio station in the Plaza Shopping Center)...

The Battlefield Mall used to have 2 theaters... there was the main Battlefield Mall theater in the food court, and then there was Century 21, which was on the Glenstone-facing side of the mall, where Ethan Allen is now. Both Century 21 and Tower Theater each only had 1 screen.

she’s so fun i love her

Not originally. Two of the founding members met at Evangel and then promptly moved to Texas IIRC

I think that house on the corner of Sunshine and National used to be owned by Chet Akins, or at least that's what I was told years back.

I miss the Palace, but since COVID the Alamo is the only theater I can see a movie at where chucklefucks don't ruin the experience by having full volume conversations or bringing a baby that either screams and cries or runs through the aisles the whole time.

I'll gladly pay more once every couple of months to see a movie in peace and quiet, rather than gambling 15 bucks on the chance that someone won't ruin the experience for me.

I'd also say that moving to an "experience" model is the only way theaters are gonna compete with VOD. It's like 20-25 bucks for me to rent a movie to watch at home where I can control everything, and I'd pay that much for my wife and me to go see something in a theater. If there's nothing more than a big screen to attract people to the theater, people are gonna watch from home more and more. Not to mention the fact that turn-around on films from the theater to streaming is crazy fast now. Puss in Boots is already on Peacock. The Marvel movies are on D+ a month after they're in theaters, and WB's deal with HBOmax means a lot of smaller films end up streaming there before they come to theaters around here.

Lol, you are before my time for sure. I remember seeing the lion king at north town mall, and titanic at the battlefield mall food court.

That makes two comments for Chappell Roan, I'm intrigued.

Look into it, they make sure to not to disturb. It’s a cool experience.

AMC A-List is the way to go. $23/month for 3 movies per week which includes IMAX and 3D. It also includes service charges for online reservations. Easily pays for itself if you see just a few movies per month.

Yep. I'm old enough to remember when we did that at Petite 3 Theater (now Pep Boys) and Fremont Theaters (now Play It Again Sports) directly across the street from it on on E. Battlefield. We paid $1 per movie, and a friend and I would usually go see 2 of them back-to-back. I remember watching Naked Gun 33 1/3 and Backdraft in the same night at Petite.

To be honest, I was on the fence about the Alamo when it opened, but I’ve gone several times and I do enjoy it. It feels like a treat. The chairs are huge and comfortable and the food (while very expensive) actually kinda slaps. The reserved seating is nice too. But it’s a once in a very while thing. I, like you, miss the shitty theaters that you go to two or three times a week.

He's been by Arris Pizza on Republic Road a time or two as well. They have pics of him there. Don't know when that was, though.

Yes! I went every Tuesday in college

All I know is he washed dishes at Aunt Martha’s Pancake House at some point.

I think about the Palace all the time. I think I remembering it being like $1.50 on Tuesday nights. I miss it. I miss crappy movie theaters in general.

Them.
