Vilas Cinema — Attraction in Eagle River

Well, if you're looking for a big city cinema experience you'll be moderately disappointed. However, for those of us not looking for indoor drive-in sized movie screen's, this theater has reasonable prices tickets and sufficiently large multi-storey screen's. (I've never been unable to see the screen) Furthermore, unlike other larger cinemas, you often have several seats (if not rows) between you and the other moviegoers.

Secret: so long as you are not abusing of the privilege, bottles of water/1 can of soda and/or box of candy per group will likely be permissible so long as you are not Blatant about it. That said, unless you have to bring in your own popcorn(Like my mom, who has diabetes) purchasing something from the counter is only polite.

The only 'small' screen in the cinema, that I'm aware of, is the upstairs one. I'm not even sure if it is still in use/available. It used to be that you could rent the room/theater for private use. No idea if it's still available after the fire a while back, or the remodeling project.(Edit:post 2016; It no longer exists 😢, meaning that there is only 4 screens available at one time.)

All in all, my biggest problem is the continuing attempts at 3D(as in 3D glasses) showings of movies. I am not able to view 3D. And it's annoying trying to figure out what they mean by "3D" on their Conway App.(yes, they have an App for that!)(Edit continued: their app or homepage now includes this information 👍😎.)

The few times that they have had technical issues with showing the movies, they have been most kind & helpful. They are often quite willing to make up for it, if it becomes a more than 5-15min issue.

I actually prefer this over the Rouman Cinema in Rhinelander.

Edit 2017: While all the above, especially the previous sentence, is still true; they have decided to "close for the season" for the first time Ever, if not in decades. This is starting by the end of January. Apparently, business has been waning to the point of not being worth it over the coldest winter months. If it weren't for this, I'd give...

Hometown theatre that cares for it's community! Even just recently, during the pandemic, they tried to keep things "normal" even though new movies aren't being released! We got to view The Empire Strikes Back on the big screen, which was definitely something I never thought we'd get to do.

The staff is friendly and helpful, the popcorn is fresh and plentiful, and the theatre is plenty comfortable. They are worth a visit whether it's date night, family night, or even just to go and watch a cult classic movie like we did that was released...

This was our first time attending this theatre. Smelled their popcorn as soon as we entered the building, fantastic. Being a senior, and Thursday is senior day, our tickets were $5 each! At the concession desk, my wife ordered popcorn & a carbonated beverage. I, on the other hand, noticed the beer, wine menu! Ordered the hard lemonade then we proceeded into our movie. The seats were plush & comfortable, we’ll definitely be back, as...
