Palace Cinema Movie Theater — Attraction in Memphis

This is an older model theatre but it is really a good place for family time! If you want to see a R rated movie with your child(ren) younger than 17 after 6pm on weekends. This is a great place to go. You must stay with them and as long as they are well mannered and not a disturbance to other guest you can enjoy family time together. The cost is very economical too! The menu is limited to popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, drinks candy. But thats fine with us, we love the ambience. There are many teenagers employed there, but they are very mannerable and helpful. We have visited a "supposedly better" or "more upscale" theatre here in town that serves alcoholic beverages etc that no longer allows teens after 6 on weekends. This was due to complaints the teens were disturbing other guests, yet the intoxicated obnoxious adults were not? Oops getting on my soapbox. Sorry! The Palace Cinema is a good place for families on limited budgets or who just want to see a movie with their children after work...

Here lately, I have had several friends comment that they didn't feel comfortable going to this Theater for different reasons, and this has bothered me. Tonight, we went to see a new movie for the whopping $5 each plus $2 each for popcorn and drink. While we were in line, we watched a complete stranger offer to buy popcorn and drink for some boys that appeared to be short on funds. Another lady watched over someone's grandchild that got away from them until they could catch up, and someone else took the time to pick up my daughter's umbrella she left on the floor and bring it to the front. The people who attend this theater for the most part are community minded people who care about one another. This is where we go to watch movies and plan to...

My family and I have been coming to this theater for 10 years. My children have all grown up coming to the movies here and we have even befriended some of the people working at this theater. It is now our tradition to come here, almost every weekend, to enjoy a movie as a family— including grandparents. However, today I was sorely disappointed with the theater that I almost considered a home.

After purchasing six tickets to see a movie that started forty minutes later I was told “don’t loose these tickets; when you come back in you will need them”. I was confused at first and then I was mad. I ask for clarification and was told that I could not stay in the lobby and needed to wait in my car until right before the show started. I was not warned before I purchased tickets and I cannot believe that a policy like this can be enforced without it being posted anywhere in the theater.

I am mad and disappointed... and...
