RCE Theaters - Roanoke Rapids — Local services in Roanoke Rapids

This theater, since coming under new ownership in the past few years, has been working to upgrade themselves. They've put in new digital projection and sound systems, remodeled their bathrooms, and have generally made a good attempt at bringing the place up to current. However, there are still a few things that need to be addressed - namely, the seating. The seats are pretty old and nasty, many of which are broken. Also, more can be done by staff to keep disruptive guests under control - when people are being loud, on their phones, etc during movies and the staff is made aware of it, they generally don't do anything to rectify the situation.

UPDATE: 2 years later, and although the remodeling has continued and the seating replaced, I can honestly say that the problem with disruptive people has gotten FAR worse - to the point of ruining the experience altogether. The last several movies I went to the audience behavior was so bad I nearly left. People who cannot be quiet, cannot sit still, have to be messing with their phones, etc. It's enough to make me want to go elsewhere to see movies. Removing a star, since management seems to not want to do a single thing to enforce any sort of order in their theaters....

I came to this theater with my cousin, (side note i’m not from here, and this place is much more rual than where I am from) As soon as we walked into the the theater the girl at the register rudely and very aggressively says “ima tell you right now you are going to have to put ur cup back in ur car” I was so blown away by the disrespect and aggressiveness that I stood there for a second, and then she followed up with “ur thermos”. She didn’t even give me the chance to get out a word ! I have a medical condition that requires me to drink water frequently and there are supplements I mix into my water. I didn’t even hesitate to leave, the vibes were so off and I feel as if I was came at because I am a black woman. So moral of the story, if you don’t fit their ideal customer (white)...

My family and I have not been to this theatre in three years but decided to give it another try. I must say I was impressed with the changes. New seats, floor clean, and friendly staff. My son has autism and everything was too loud. They did not have earplugs and I had to go to the car to get a pair but that will change soon. I have ordered and will donate a 200 pair box so other individuals like my son can enjoy this theatre. It will be a nice upgrade to go along with all the changes. Keep up the awesome job! We will be back soon!
