I've grown to absolutely adore Hollywood Theater. Their prices are phenomenal! At only $6 per ticket, it makes it very affordable for me to take my daughters on movie dates. This is a single screen movie theater with recliner seats (similar to movie tavern) They play 1 current movie for a couple of weeks multiple times per day. The parking lot is free and located behind the building. I would also be doing a disservice if I did not mention how delicious their popcorn is, truly the best movie theater popcorn we've had at any of our local theaters. Employees are also kind & very helpful. As a mom of 4, Hollywood Theater is definitely a win! read more

Hollywood Theatre - Theater seats. - Cinema Near Me - Mattydale, New York

A nice little single screen movie theater in Mattydale. The seats are great! Big and reclining with good views of the screen even for a flat layout. I think they only play one movie in a given period so check their website to see what's screening. The prices here are amazing- during a matinee I was able to get a large popcorn and two drinks AND movie tickets for what would have been just the food at another theater. Parking- it's behind the movie theater. If you're coming from Syracuse turn at W Molly Rd, and if you're coming from the north take Phalen St. read more

Hollywood Theatre - Nice big seats which recline - Cinema Near Me - Mattydale, New York

The theatre and bathrooms were very clean and the staff was very kind. The popcorn was pretty good quality and they also used real butter. Came here on vacation all the way from Oklahoma and overall this was a good experience! read more

We love the Hollywood Theatre, but they need more staff, often they have one line to buy tickets and purchase snacks, if you aren't buying snacks you have to wait behind the people that are, they need someone to take admissions and another person for snacks! read more

honestly, this is a pretty nice theater for being in the mattydale area. not to say that mattydale isn't a nice area (in some parts), but this is one of the nicer attractions in the town. the prices actually aren't too bad for being a movie theater. people will make a mess and throw their popcorn on the ground... but that pretty much happens at every theater you could possibly go to. read more

Very tasty popcorn , seats very comfortable and spaced with enough room to walk in front of someone to get past them to get out or back into your seat. The sound is set at a good volume to hear all the dialogue , yet low enough to not blast you out of your seat at the action sequences read more

Conrad Zurich, owner of the Hollywood Theatre in Mattydale, started Hollywood Theatre in June 1966, with a Sidney Poitier twin bill: "A Patch of Blue" and "Lilies of the Field." The price then was $1.75 for a ticket, which stayed that way for 40 years, before being raised to a whopping (sarcasm) $3.00 a ticket. The Hollywood is unlike any other theaters in the area. With its postcard-worthy marquee, brightly lit lobby and a vast expanse of seating darkness, it claims a high status of Central New York cinema Americana -- and it stands as the last hold-out among movie houses still devoted solely to their builders' intent: Good guys beating bad guys on a giant screen. Hollywood remains true to a niche market of moviegoers willing to wait an extra few weeks to see recent films that have outlived their sell-by dates in the mall cineplexes, at a price that can't be beat. Aside from their $3 ticket price, they sell the usual movie treats - popcorn, candy, soda, Icees, etc. My wife and I have been going to Hollywood for years. It's perfect for a cheap date night, or simply to check out movies you're not 100% sold on without having to pay ridiculous theatre prices, if you can wait a couple weeks until they exit usual movie theatres. Also a great way to catch a movie you didn't get to see in time in theatres, or catching a second showing of a movie you know you like. Hollywood used to have uncomfortable chairs and sticky floors, but recently added brand new comfortable leather recliner seats, which just makes it even more of an awesome experience. Screen and sound quality are great, employees are friendly. My only gripe with them is I do remember them having one of the more disgusting public bathrooms I've ever been in, BUT I have not been in their bathrooms in years and I'm not sure if they've been remodeled at all. All in all, it's a great value for a fun time! Great little local business. read more

Hollywood Theatre - Cinema Near Me - Mattydale, New York

I love a good deal and you cannot find one much better than this. Recently released movies are only $2 a ticket. It is cheaper on Tuesday nights and slightly more expensive when viewing a movie in 3D. Even though it is an old theatre, they keep it pretty clean and the seats are fairly comfortable. The have great popcorn and you can get a large popcorn and large soda for $10. Each comes with a free refill. We always share amongst us. Biggest complaint I have is with the bathroom. I have no idea what the men's is like, but the women's restroom is very, very tiny and difficult to navigate. Otherwise, it is a great value! read more

Hollywood Theatre - Arrived early for the Fantastic Four. $2 movie, great popcorn, and choice of seats. Love this place. One if the best deals in town! - Cinema Near Me - Mattydale, New York

It was a pretty good place, they have good movies and reclining chairs, the place looked a bit old and rundown, and it was a bit messy on the inside. read more

I can't believe after all these years I haven't ever wrote a review about this awesome theatre. So pretty much this theatre plays moves that are still newer, but not as new as your regular theatre. So today Power Rangers is playing, but it has been out for a month or so. The cool part about waiting to come here instead of the normal movies, is that they have steeply discounted tickets. You pay about two bucks a person! That's awesome! The drinks and food is pretty fair too. I get my medium Cherry Pepsi for a lil over 3 bucks and you can get all kinds of snacks and what not for almost half the price of the normal movies. What really reminded me to write my review is that when I came tonight. I noticed a huge difference. They updated their seats to these super comfy recliner chairs that are leather!!! (See pictures) That's awesome! Remember guys, this is a small theatre with super low ticket costs, having these kind of high quality seats is unheard of. Anyways, if you haven't been here yet, make the trip! You will not regret it. read more

Hollywood Theatre - Recliners!!!! - Cinema Near Me - Mattydale, New York

See all

Best theater in CNY. It costs only two or three dollars to get in. Popcorn has REAL butter. Seats recline electrically and have footrests. A real bargain for second run films. read more

I used to go there and watch movies a couple months after they were released and it was really cheap for a movie theatre but it has what you need to watch it movie and it's consistently just not bad. I'll take that read more

Been coming here for ever. Great updated seats. Good movies. Prices have tripled but still far cheaper than the big boys. No more free refills is disappointing. That stuff doesn't cost them anything. Lock your car in the parking lot. read more

Great little discount theatre. Perfect for those movies you aren't sure you want to pay 15 plus dollars to see. Even better now that they added recliner seats so this place is a bargain every time!! read more

This small, local theater is just what Syracuse needs for an inexpensive movie option. They recently installed recliners and I can't wait to return! So comfy and wow are we lucky they upgraded! Watch out Regal! read more

You go to the Hollywood to see a movie for $1.50. Not only do you get a cheap movie, you get the pleasure of people watching too. You see it all at the Hollywood. People bring blankets, smuggle in smelly food, watch YouTube videos, whatever. I can't say I haven't enjoyed their relaxed rules myself. Nothing better than a beer while watching movies, right? You should be aware that the theater runs cold, so dress in layers. It's best to park near the back of the lot so you don't end up waiting forever while people wander aimlessly to their cars after the show ends. read more

Pros: Where else can you see a movie for pocket change? For the price of admission at a first-run theater you can get admission, soda, popcorn, and more at the Hollywood. They also sell movie posters, real ones. Cons: Floors are often sticky, and you can easily get the impression that no one likes to clean the bathroom. Also the staff does nothing when a patron is too noisy. Staff seems to rotate a lot, so I'm guessing they don't really care much about anything anyway. read more

This is a cute theater. You cannot go wrong for the price. It cost me under $10 for me and my niece and three nephews. Where they get you is on the drinks and popcorn. I suggest getting a large and sharing it because you get 1 free refill with a large. The movies they play are already on video but it's cool to watch a movie on the big screen. You should definitely check it out if you are looking for a cheap, fun time. read more

This longtime theater just keeps going downhill. Their sound system just isn't up to par. But their ticket buying in line is a joke. Having to wait in line with the same people buying food? I just want my movie ticket. Should ALWAYS be a separate line for ticket buyers and concession. Waited well over 10 minutes and movie began while in line ( no credits). I think it's time for the long time owners to turn over the place to someone else to update and run it properly. read more

I love this place! If you don't mind waiting a few weeks to see a movie, this place is awesome. The seats are super comfy and the owners aren't trying to rip you off with food and beverage sales to cover the cost of the discount tickets. This place deserves all the business, simple because the owners are awesome! read more

A very small theatre with sticky floors but you can't beat how cheap the movies are, you can't really complain. The movies they show are usually out in theaters for a bit, so see what your friends say is good and keep an eye out to see if it's heading to the Hollywood. If you don't mind waiting, it's definitely a better economic decision. read more

If you are like me, you are a busy parent who realizes that you never got a chance to get to the theater to see that movie you had wanted to see. Life happens all the time and the window of opportunity closes more often than we would like. Well Hollywood Theater gives you a little bit more of a chance! They play the newly released movies just as they are ending their runs of engagements in the big theaters. Here's the thing ...I have no idea why anyone would want to go to those big theaters again! The Hollywood have seats that recline, tasty popcorn that doesn't require a mortgage to pay for, and generally fewer/smaller crowds! If you're willing to wait a little bit before seeing a movie, then this is the place to go! With ticket prices that are a steal, I don't feel badly for buying the popcorn and I also don't feel like I need to cheat and bring in candy from the dollar store...you know how everyone does at those big theaters. I say support the small town business and head here. I don't think I will go to those big theaters again unless there is a movie that I absolutely MUST see on opening night. Other than that, this place has my business from now on! read more

Hollywood Theatre - Cinema Near Me - Mattydale, New York

let's kids into a rated R movie and screams the whole time, wanted an adults night out and to enjoy our evening and watch a movie. didn't feel comfortable watching all the movie content when it's known that kids are in the same theater. read more

I recently went to this theater with my sister about a week ago, and it's exactly what I would have wanted. Because it's owned by Zurich, it's identical (albeit smaller) to the Pittsford Cinemas in Rochester, NY. Finding out that detail made me want to try it because I knew the popcorn would be amazing. If you haven't found a reason to go, this should be a major reason (fresh popcorn, hot butter, melty taste that makes you swoon!). Tickets are really inexpensive. At every other Zurich-owned theater, none has prices this low. At only $3 per ticket on the weekends (and only $2 on regular days!), you can't beat the price, and the comfort. The seats are leather reclining seats, so it doesn't get much better. You can pay ~$11 per ticket at Regal with maybe ~$20 in snacks, or you can pay $3 per ticket and less than ~$10 in snacks at this location. I think the only sad part is that this location only plays one movie at a time, but other than that, it's a fabulous time for anyone who wants to bring a large group. read more

I love this place ive gone there plenty of times i was 16 i paid 1.50 per movie now im 34 and its only 3.00 a ticket i love it its my favorite theatre read more

Can't beat the ticket prices! Perfect for those flicks you want to see on the big screen but don't want to sell an organ to see.

I love this theater! For less than the price of a movie rental, you can see it on the big screen, granted a few weeks later, but who cares. I think their popcorn is even better than the Regal theater and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. They also have 3D movies now. Theater is much cleaner than it used to be and it's a great place to cool down on a hot muggy summer day. Staff is friendly and there is always something playing for everyone in the family. read more

Dollar for dollar (because it's only a few dollars ), this is a great local theater. I can't wait to see the new seats they put in.

Great movies at yesterday's prices. Update They recently removed old seating and installed new ones. Very clean and comfortable. Kudos to managemenet and staff. This was a lot of work on their part. Great place to take the family, and still have money for popcorn and a drink. People who criticize their concession prices, need to realize this is what keeps the theater running and able to make improvements to building. read more

Missed the Bond movie the first time around. Wanted to see it on the big screen rather than DVD. The Hollywood Theatre in Mattydale to the rescue. At $2.00 per ticket and great prices at the concession stand its worth going to see a movie for a fun and inexpensive time. read more

Still the best value around and a well maintained theater. They just upgraded to awesome reclining seats and always have efficient concessions staff in the lobby. It's worth the wait to see new releases here and I couldn't recommend it enough. read more
