This is the best little theatre and worth the drive. The biggest difference in amc and regal is you need to show up early as they do not offer reserved seating. That is fine to us as everything else is worth it. Friendly and helpful staff. Refills on popcorn and drinks. They have all of the white cheddar, caramel, etc popcorn flavors in individual packets so you can still enjoy them if you ask. Consessions include candy, nachos, pretzels, hotdogs, etc. Bathrooms are always clean. Two big on side and one small behind inside theatre entry. Screen and sound incredible!. Removable arms to seats if needed. I saved the most important detail for last - affordable ticket prices! (Reward program in points if you buy a card for trancations. You have to ask about that on the inside. Photo Booth also available if you need to save the moment for $5.) read more

I forgot to snap pics, but this is just your standard theater, no comfy reclining chairs or assigned seating. With that being said, it still does the job and has affordable prices. I paid $9 for my ticket on a Saturday evening and $9 for popcorn and a fountain drink - fair. Right after the previews the screen paused and we had to call the attendant to start it again, but it was smooth sailing after that. I had the same experience the last time I went to a theater in Pineville, not quite sure why this keeps happening to me. Lol read more

This is a much older movie theater. My guess, the seats are 1990's origin, not much recline and some were faulty, not secure from the flooring. The screen quality and sound were decent. Bathrooms are older, clean, and maintained. The front counter payment area is old school, and the refreshment area is archaic compared to other modernized luxury theaters where you can use your phone to order food or food quality would be from a restaurant on premises. Overall, this was just an okay experience. read more

Really rude staff. You have to buy tickets at the snack bar which is always busy and the workers have the worst attitude ever

I have a family of five and this is where we go to watch a movie. It is an older theater, but I don't mind it. The drinks and popcorn are great for a good value. Movie tickets are very affordable too! It may not have all the new stuff like the other theaters, but the value is great! Tip, depending on when you go there's a certain employee, told me, you cannot bring a midsize backpack. Next time I went I saw a woman with a big purse so I guess that's allowed?! read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid. It is a older theater, but it's definitely nostalgic for me. I'm so glad that I'm able to also bring my children here. read more

My first trip to the movies since the COVID-19 outbreak and I felt safe and welcomed. Parking was fine, they offered a combo with free refills and cool video games and movie trivia to pass the time until the film began. The theater wasn't crowded and it was tidy (looking), but there was a rank and overpowering scent of urine throughout the entire place. It is for this reason this place only earned three stars. I am not sure if a pipe busted, a drain was broken or a disgruntled employee defouled the place, but it smelled like a subway bathroom... So much that I left my mask on to cut the stench. read more

If you're looking for a clean yet affordable theatre Carolina Mall Cinemas is the best deal in town. You can take the whole family to a matinee movie before 5pm and pay less than $5 per ticket (you can't beat that price with a stick). They always have the latest movies playing and the staff is friendly and accommodating, the concessions are reasonably priced and there's plenty of parking. read more

This theater used to good. The concession stand gave us tasteless,stale popcorn. The bag was so greasy that the "butter" was like oil. If it wasn't for the movie I would've walked out. read more

Bought tickets online from their website and still had to wait 20 minutes in line at the box office. Staff told me if I bought from Fandango, I would be able to go straight through. How can it be more convenient to buy from a third party? read more

Was horrible we bought tickets online and didn't state a single thing about a 18 year old not being able to buy more then 2 tickets, the ticket girl was so quick to say she will get security to take us out. read more

Always been pleased with Carolina Mall Theaters. And since they did the upgrade several years ago, things are even better! It is not a huge facility, but has plenty of small theaters within. You walk in and see a decent sized game room to the right. Several machines to play and enough space that you aren't squished together on each other. Get your ticket and go through the nice wide lobby to the Concession stand. Several counters, so the wait isn't usually too long. Prices are a little bit better than the bigger places, so another bonus point. The theaters are smaller, but not tiny feeling. Seats are comfortable even for longer movies. Plenty of seats to feel like you are sitting "high up" but not a mile away from the screen. The bathrooms have been the biggest improvement when they remodeled. Ladies room now has at least 6 stalls, though still really tiny. All in all, still a great value! read more

The Good: Cheapest Prices Ever The Bad: The old projectors make the film really dim. No surround sound. Not the cleanest place. The Ugly: The staff really make this place the worst. Mistakes like No sound, house lights on in the auditorium, and poor clean up between showings. Security is only there at night, the concession staff are unfocused, the ushers assist zero customers, and the ticket sellers constantly sell tickets WELL after a film begins which leads to disturbances. Remember you get what you pay for, cheap tickets for a cheap experience. read more

So on 7-19-2019 the family and I along with one of my daughters nurses went to see the Lion King at Carolina Mall Cinemas. Because I have a deaf child, I called ahead and asked if the CC box was available (and compatible) for said movie. I was told it was and we purchased tickets online right then and there. We head in, get our tickets, and ask for the cc box. The manager comes around apologizes and informs us the cc box is not compatible with the movie and simply walks away. With the movie starting in just a few minutes we decided to head in and I made up my mind to speak with this manager one on one once the movie was over. (Keep in mind there are 6 of us attending this movie) My poor child sat in pure boredom the entire movie. It's not like this was a movie where she could read the characters lips or that the volume was even loud enough so she could feel base changes. It was a total disaster for her. But she never complained and didn't get upset. And to add insult to injury a fight breaks out behind us where police have to be call. ‍ The movie ends and we ask to speak to the manager. I request the number to their regional office and she informs me she cannot give out their numbers as there is NO OFFICE. Only their person cell phones. However she writes down an email and says I MIGHT have luck with that. Its the owners email. I ask her the name to whom this email belonged and all she would say is SMITH. Then proceeds to say, " I cant give out his first name as its personal information he may not want me to share." Really?? This Mr Smith owns the theater and has NO contact information available to the public what so ever!!!! I asked her why they have signage, advertising and posters everywhere claiming to be a Closed Caption theatre. She said none of the movies playing were CC capable. And my daughters nurse and I said in unison, "But you advertise everywhere that the movies are CC." I explained that was false advertising and the ADA ( Americans with Disabilities Act) would not find it acceptable to make such claims. She shrugged her shoulders and said she was not allowed to take down any signs without the owner giving her the ok to. Yet as manager she is responsible for the facility. We "argued" over the situation for 20 plus minutes and she ended up refunding our tickets. (She wanted us gone) What makes this situation even worse is you have to purchase tickets before asking for the cc box. And normally they refuse to refund your money but will give you tickets to come back and watch another movie. How do I know this, this is the 4th movie out of 5 that my daughter HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY. Each time we were given tickets to return with only 1 movie ever having the cc box work. (It was Aladdin on her birthday) I will be contacting Mr. Smith's email and see if I get anywhere with that contact info, but wanted to also get the word out to others. This isn't something to take lightly. This was not only an annoyance to my daughter but embarrassing and made her feel less than human. It excluded her. And if they had not advertised to be CC compatible then we would have gone somewhere else. And if they had just refunded us after the first movie we attempted there, we would have went somewhere else. We gave Carolina Mall Cinemas several chances to make this situation right and unfortunately they have failed. THEY FAILED AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE!!! EDIT: And let me say the theatre's solution the first time the CC box was not compatible was to give my daughter descriptive headphones for the blind!!! Really!!! ‍ read more

Simple, no fuss movie experience. I've been going to Carolina Mall Cinemas since I was in high school and they are very good at being a no frills movie theater. The ticket prices and concessions are far cheaper than other big named competitors and the only real downside is fewer theaters and slightly older seats. The bathrooms are a little outdated but are usually maintained and they don't really have any special events but they are perfect if your just looking to go see a flick with the family. If you come for an earlybird screening (before noon I think) tickets are only $3! read more

Those 3 stars are based on price alone... The theater is a lIttle dated compared to others however it still has good sound as well as AMAZING matinee prices... $4 for a movie ticket?? Only in the 90's... but this cinema offers those prices every day and even better $3.75 on a saturdays and sundays. Make your way here and enjoy!! The popcorn were kind of stale and not the best and the seats aren't reclining but once again $4! You can deal with it just like I did! Lol! Enjoy the show! read more

This is a theater I go to when I'm in the area and have time to kill...it's not my first choice for movie watching. The tickets and concessions are priced much more reasonably than most theaters, which is a plus. The large size of popcorn and soda is more like a medium elsewhere. I've never seen the auditoriums looking dirty or unkept. It's not bad, just a little outdated. read more

It's small, but clean. Doesn't have lots of screens, but it's cheap. That basically sums up Carolina Mall Cinemas, but it's not to be underestimated. I think this theater got wiped when Concord Mills opened ten years ago, so it had to make a lot of improvements. They've implemented stadium seating and concession combos! And it's cheaper than AMC ($11 for two adults for a 7pm show). Aaaaand you don't have to deal with race traffic since you don't have to go anywhere near the direction of the speedway (if you're coming from Kannapolis). Excellent! I hadn't been in a really long time before going over Memorial Day, but I'll definitely keep it in mind again when I want to catch a flick without haggling with traffic. read more

If you like that older 1990s movie theater feel, this is the place! Other than everything being outdated, it is fairly well-kept and clean. I come here when I don't want to be bothered with the hustle and bustle of the newer theaters in the area. Ticket prices lower than average so can't complain! read more

I have experienced the worst service I have ever had any where. From THREE different employees including the manager, my experience has been horrible. I WILL NEVER RETURN and I will spread the word. My niece and I walk in to the movies to see incredibles 2. Her heart was so happy! We get in line to get tickets.. the girl is ringing up another customer and we get in line behind. After she is done, she moves over to another register and closes it down in front of our face. She didn't say "sorry this is closed" or "I'll take you over here". Nothing. She just left us standing there. OKAY? She tells another couple (who had just walked up) "I'll take you here". So now I'm a little irritated but screw it, I'll wait for one more person. I didn't want to cause a scene in front of my niece. So as I'm waiting. A guy comes out from back and stands around twiddling his thumbs, and we make eye contact the whole time as I'm trying to figure out if he's going to say something, or if he's gonna open another register. So we're just standing there and another guy walks up and the guy twiddling his thumbs decides to walk up to a register and points to the guy who just walked up and says "I'll take you sir". So now I'm pissed. I waved my arms at him like "are you serious??" Seconds later a woman at the ends calls YET another couple who JUST walked up, to her register. I immediately say "No, excuse me we've been waiting". I get to the register and tell her about my experience and she completely ignored me. She did not say "sorry that happened" and didn't even care. WOW. She completely ignored my concern and just told me my total. My blood is boiling now. I settle my niece into the movie and excuse myself to come back out to speak to a manager. Here is the best part! I go back in line to the guy who ignored me and he did not want to take me in line I guess and points to the person behind me and ONCE AGAIN says "I'll take you sir". At this point I'm wondering if I'm invisible?? I stop him and say "excuse im ready to speak to your manager " and he grabs the LADY WHO RUNG ME UP! I immediately say "wow this is your manager" ... I'm recalling the lady who did not say anything to me at the register or even apologize. If I had a complaint why did she not say" I'm sorry about that! I am the manager". WOW THIS IS RIDICULOUS I let the manager know that I would be leaving this review. They are extremely disrespectful from the employees to management. She did give me a movie pass, " well wrote her signature on the back of my tickets" idk if will work yet.. but I probably wouldn't even come back if it was free or not. WORST WORST WORST EXPERIENCE ANYWHERE EVER. read more

Just dropped in for a quick Movie. No concessions just a movie. Good news was There was No one in the ticket line. Bad news is they combined ticket and concession lines. 2 people working the whole place. Waited to get my ticket for 15 minutes and Missed the first 10 minutes of the film. Really!!! read more

Love the movie prices. The theatre is always clean the food always tastes perfect I like the little arcade and the bathrooms were clean. Everyone was friendly. read more

Love this place. Cheap movies and concessions. Also enjoy the fact they they enforce a curfew on weekends. Even if some people did manage to skip past this and make it to the last movie I went too. read more

I have been there only once, but my experience was pretty good. We reached the ticket booth in and quickly got our ticket including food and drinks. Although the food was a little expensive for little we got; some candy, popcorn, and two drinks. Although the food was a little expensive for what we got, some candy, popcorn, and two drinks. The staff were really kind and helped us with anything we needed. The chairs in the movie weren't the best for sitting for a few hours, but they were okay. The movie screen was rather good quality also the sounds were extremely impressive, with heavy bangs and soft voices. After the movie, we utterly left without any problem. Everything was great besides a few minor aspects, but I would definitely go back the next time I decided to watch a movie. read more

I like going here. Went to a 1:15 show and 2 of us were less than $10. Staff is always friendly when we go. I also like it because it's the only one I know not far from us in China Grove that sells Pepsi/Mountain Dew (if I'm going to overpay for soft drinks, I want it to be drinks I actually like) and the butter is self serve for the popcorn so I can put enough on it to taste it. read more

While theater may have nice seating, the owner refuses to turn on the heat. After nicely asking on numerous occasions, tonight was the final straw! We typically take blankets and jackets into the theater, but tonight we got up after tge mice was finished for me to see an elderly couple literally shaking because they were so cold. I spoke with a manager only to be informed that they have had multiple complaints about the theater being cold but that even the general manager did not have keys to access the heat controls and the owner refuses to allow the heat to be turned up for their guests. It is pretty pathetic to be so cheap that you knowingly allow paying customers to freeze just to save a buck! read more

Great theater. Not ever really that busy because everyone goes to Concord Mills. I really enjoy watching movies here and the tickets and snacks are cheaper. read more

Love this theatre!! The ticket prices are still very reasonable and the theatre seating is very comfortable. I never feel crowded and always enjoy my experience. Thanks for keeping those prices affordable! read more

Sticky floors even after renovation , popcorn burned most times we go and soda is water downed

Oh my goodness! A manager is calling down an entire group of employees in the lobby. It is very unprofessional and embarrassing as a patron. read more

Great theater. Affordable ticket & concession prices. Staff was nice enough. Not extremely clean but ok. Definitely my 1st choice for a movie. read more

Very good for not only their movies but also in the summer they have free kid movies so that is great

Excellent price for 1st run movies. It does need to be renovated however, it's comfortable.

I go to this theatre because of their reasonable ticket price. I was there last Friday for the new Star Trek movie as I watched it in their 3-d show. 2 big complaints...my chair squeaked and the seats there are the rocker type which I luv. But if I moved in my seat the danged think let out a squeak whch was annoying. The next complaint is that the movie illumination for the 3-d movie was too dark. Was really disappointing..this has happened before! Hope they fix these issues soon! read more

Just wanted to let grown ups know just got back from seeing a movie at this cinemas and had the worst experience ive ever had at the movies, their were to many kids at the movie we saw made me think of a daycare i would not recommend this cinema to any adults wanting to have peace and quiet during a movie. read more

This is a perfectly fine movie theater. The ticket price is waaaayy better than AMC and I don't need anything but a comfy seat and a soda to watch a movie. They have the same snacks as everyone else, theater seating, cushy chairs with cup holders, and movies. If this theater wasn't open, we wouldn't go to the movies. Not dealing with Hwy 85 traffic, Concord Mills traffic, and sky high ticket prices. This theater also has 3D movies, so what more could anyone want? read more

Don't get me wrong, this place is usually great. They have all the latest movies, and the theater is always clean and comfy. Problem is, they offer a lot in 3d, and don't offer it in 2d until after matinee times, which means you pay as much to see it in 2d as you do a matinee in 3d. A lot of times the show times are not convenient, and sometimes they never even offer a matinee time for a movie! Being a poor college student, I need that break! Even just recently, when I planned to see a movie for two weeks prior when the 2d version would come to matinee times, they cancelled it right out from under me. Nothing posted on the website, nothing on the showtime listing hotline. I drove all the way down there to surprise my girlfriend, and they cancelled it. I was not happy! Be sure to call the box office number to confirm before you go, otherwise you may be very upset! Box office number = 7047882404 read more
