Icon Cinema — Local services in Edmond

A hidden gem on Danforth. Staff and management are always extremely friendly and helpful. This theater is wheelchair friendly and they have a family bathroom in addition to a large men's and women's restroom that is clean. Regarding concession items, the popcorn and drinks come with unlimited refills and that includes icee drinks (cherry, coke, blue raspberry). They offer gourmet pretzel sticks, Nachos, hotdogs, dippin dots, Bluebell ice cream and multiple types of candy. The only con is that the popcorn paper bags leak butter on the bottom. Seats are comfortable and recline. My wife and I never have an issue with seeing the bottom of the movie screen and we have sat in different spots in different sized theater rooms at this location. Between each seat is a small retractable privacy wall that is located between the shoulder and head section of the seats. There are also small table tops for each seat to hold food and come with a single cup holder. They also offer $5 Tuesday's which is for any movie any time of the day. Every Monday senior tickets are $5. And last but not least they offer a military discount on movie tickets. My wife appreciates that we are able to preorder our tickets online and get to pick exactly where we sit. We highly recommend Kickingbird Cinema and greatly enjoy that it has never been crazy busy...

We are trying to decide where to go see this weekend and I am realizing that the determining factor for me at this theater is the popcorn. Since I moved to Edmond last year and began going here, the popcorn has always been so salty that I don't want to eat it. They even gave me a new bag once, and it was just as salty as the first. Didn't finish but the first part of the bag.

Other than that, this theater is very nice to have nearby, and the prices are better than for the bigger theaters. The seating and screen work okay.

So for me it comes down to the popcorn. In addition to the saltiness, the popcorn is not freshly popped--the pour it out of a bag--and that is a bummer too. I'd put up with that aspect some of the time if it wasn't for so much salt that I can't even eat more than a few bites. What is a movie out, without popcorn?

So, I am thinking this is a holiday weekend and I want a good experience....probably will go to...

Wednesday, 2/22/2017 my mother and aunt went to the 3:40 PM showing of La La Land. My aunt's purse fell on the floor while they were watching the movie and she didn't realize her wallet had fallen out. This morning she discovered her wallet must have fallen out in the dark theater. She drove to Kickingbird Cinema this afternoon before they open. The manager opened the door for her and indeed, they had found her wallet and it was returned to her. All of the money and credit cards were still there! Amazing. Kickingbird Manager, thank you for hiring quality, honest people. You and your staff, from housekeeping, food service people, and management my family and I thank you. Please share this with the ownership. Grant C. Aguirre, PhD, Marketing, University of...
