Regal Cinemas Greensboro Grande 16

UNCG students get a discount if you show your student ID! Doesn’t work on matinée showings. Theatre is clean and customer service is decent. They always have a few ticket windows open to keep the lines moving and I love that they have special movies showing from time to time like older movies and even the Met Opera live shows. Our previous came up and the screen was blurry, manager came in right away and apologized and said it would be just a 5 minute reset. Nice of him to do that and not just keep us waiting. Seats are comfy and the temperature wasn’t to bad, unlike most theaters that freeze you out!

Regal probably has the best selection of film in the city. This selection tends to include not only blockbusters, but also lesser known films. And, they typically have many of the Oscar contenders.
The theaters are clean and the seating is about as comfortable as any other theater.
The concession menu is standard. No booze, unlike Red Cinema. The prices are very high – but, I assume on average with other theaters. We bought 2 small bottled waters, a small popcorn, and box of Reese’s pieces. $ 20! This was more than two matinée tickets. I highly doubt we’ll waste this type of money again. Or, just bring in our own snacks and beverages, which usually works in most circumstances.

Great locale. I went there to see The Revenant & the picture/​sound quality were perfect!

I am a big fan of movies, and movie theaters in general. However I have to say that I found my experiences here to be a ok. First, I must say its definitely a nice movie theater. The concession stands are clean and serve popcorn with real butter. Also, the movie theaters are generally clean. There’s nothing really unique or notable about it apart from that.
However, recently, I came here to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The screen was not very good and had some masking on it which made the border of the screen look darker than the rest, which me and my group found distracting. We told the customer service rep about it when it came up as well as after it was over. She didn’t offer an apology or anything else. She just acted like it was the most normal thing for it to happen. Yet, when I went there to see it a few days earlier, there were no issues. We didn’t ask for a refund, but instead, to understand what had happened during that screening, and she treated us coldly as if we were trying to score free tickets, which we weren’t.
Issues with the customer service aside, this is a pretty decent theater with decent sized screens and good concessions and services. I was especially impressed that they had a great captioning device for me to use. Most of these devices fit into a cupholder, and are awkward to use, however I got glasses, which were comfortable, easy to use, and gave me no problems at all. I would definitely pay this location a visit, especially given their great captioning service.

DO NOT SEE FATHOM EVENTS PRODUCTIONS AT THIS CINEMA! This movie theater is fine for ordinary movies. But Fathom Events productions are sometimes promoted as live events when they are in fact recordings of concerts/​ballets from several years ago. This is a travesty considering ticket prices for Fathom Events productions are usually at least twice the price of a regular movie ticket.

Here are your theater options in Greensboro:

Brassfield
Red Cinema (alcohol, full service, etc)
Sedgefield Crossing (older films and $ 2 per entry)
I am not much of a theater/​movie out person but I popped in yesterday for a showing. This theater was new around 1996 as this is the first theater I attended upon moving to Greensboro. I saw Scream for the record. It was the mack daddy of theaters at the time. Four Seasons wasn’t around then and wait service in theaters didn’t exist.
Aside from its age and the alcohol/​wait service thing, there isn’t much that separates it from other theaters. They have ticket booths, seats, concessions, etc. It’s a theater. They show movies.
Movie selection to me at this theater, at least yesterday, was excellent. They had the top movies out and a boat load of times throughout the day. No issues.
Reading reviews, comparing this one to the Palladium Regal in High Point, I see their points. But remember we are comparing one that is 20 years old to one that is 5 or so. Of course the Palladium will be «better.»
I think the location, being in Friendly Center, is a selling point for this one. I live closer to the Palladium, but if you are in this part of Greensboro, then this is worth NOT driving the extra miles to High Point. There isn’t anything wrong with this theater.
I am not gonna give you the same «clean» or «friendly» stuff that you always hear. Look, it’s a theater, there isn’t anything wrong with it, and you can watch whatever movies are out. You can’t get alcohol or wait service. Weigh your options and move on with your day.

I went in to watch a movie in the early afternoon so the theatre was pretty empty. For some reason the movie was having technical difficulties and froze up so I went to speak to a manager about it. The staff was AMAZING about the technical difficulties. They apologized about the whole thing, gave me a refund and a ticket for a free movie admission and then even let me stay and watch that same movie for free in another auditorium.
If you ever have any issues with their screenings, the staff is super understanding and very accommodating. I highly recommend them! :)

Usually pretty clean and a nice experience! Wish they sold beers and wine, other than that keep up the good work Grand :)

This is my go to theater in town since I am close to the Friendly area most of the time. They show great first run movies and the theater seats are in pretty good condition and the floors are typically not sticky. The bathrooms are clean.
Mmmmm popcorn!

This is a really nice movie theatre! Plenty of parking and cashiers working the ticket counter when we arrived on a Saturday. They do have a movie rewards card but since I already have one of the other set of theaters in town I passed. I came here to see Wild, which for some reason this was the only theatre playing it. Even though it had been out for about a month the theatre was pretty busy with people struggling to find seats for a group.
Although I didn’t buy any concessions this time I around I appreciate how clean the concession stand area was. Looked new and updated.
Would come back again if I was in the area!

The Grande is an enjoyable theater with clean theaters and good seats (that can’t be said for many theaters). I usually buy my tickets on line ahead of time and use the kiosk to retrieve them saving time waiting in line. There’s nothing really unique about The Grande, but it does have good sound, good pictures, good seats, and is clean. One of the better theaters in Greensboro.

Theater is par compared to others in the area. Reasonably clean and taken care of. Used an electronic ticket and while they advertised accepting them they were not at all prepares to take them. Got bounced aroundto different people and when they couldn’t get it to work, they said’ oh well’, it wasn’t their problem anymore. Finally one guy did take ownership and I got in but took 12 minutes to get checked in with a ticket I already had on me.

One of the best movie theaters in GSO. Second only to the one at Four Seasons because they have a full bar and waitresses to bring you food and booze while you watch the movie. This one is just as good, but without the snacks and alcohol. The seats are nice and it’s clean. Now if only their large drinks were a little bigger…

This is a nice theater on the nice side of town. I love the Friendly Center area a lot. I feel, however, that this theater doesn’t compare to the Palladium. The lobby and snack area of this place is dark and grim. They should toss some more lights in there and spruce it up a tad. The snack lady wasn’t the most pleasant but wasn’t too too bad either.
It was what it was but I wasn’t blown away. If I’m on that side of town and/​or they are showing a movie at a convenient time then I’m there. Other than that I’m heading to the Palladium..
