AMC Granite Run 8

My favorite theater. Ticket prices are family friendly. The staff are friendly and personable. Not as fancy as other theaters but it’s like sitting at home for me.

$ 3.99 per ticket during the day and $ 5.99 per ticket at night. The screens and the theaters are getting tired. Have never been to AMC Marple 10 but this reminds me of the AMC 309 in North Wales or the Painters Crossing theater layout. The concessions are expensive but the admission price is right.

Little outdated but with mall closed– easy-​in, easy-​out. There’s a joke there, but keeping it classy. Theaters are small and bathrooms could stand an update.

This theater is a little old-​school compared to the fancy new ones with Imax screens and reclining seats, but it’s still a great deal. It’s right outside of the Granite Run Mall, so there are plenty of shopping options nearby if you’re up for it!
The best part of this theater is that the tickets are CHEAP compared to other newer/​renovated theaters! You do not have to reserve your exact seat either, which is nice if you decide to go last minute and are just sure to show up early enough to get good seats. I went to a 9:45am showing of the new Star Wars for $ 3.99! Yes, I said $ 3.99!
If you want to pay $ 15 for all of the unnecessary extras at other theatres, be my guest, but if you’re just looking for a movie and a cheap outing, this is your place.

We’ve gone to this theater for many years. I’m happy its still around with its old school seating. I’m not a fan of the recliner trend or assigned seats or buying in advance online. The place is clean, the staff is very nice and they show first run movies at second run prices. I’ll be sorry to see this theater ‘upgraded’ to the new AMC model like they have at Painter’s Crossing.

17 July 2015 Went to see the new Amy movie on a Sunday when they have reduced matinée pricing which is the only reason I would go here. When it was first opened it was beautiful but in the last 5 years it has become gross. The bathrooms are old and always seem to have paper strewn all over the floors. The aisles in the theater seem to be sticky. The seats need a good scrubbing. My guess is this may be due to the fact they have finally decided to tear it down sometime in the next year and build a larger facility.
Ending on a positive note, the staff at the candy counter are vastly better than I have seen the last 5 years.

Need to clean the restrooms, aisles and seats.
GROSS.

For some reason I ended up at this theater instead of the much nicer Marple 10 which is just down the road. The lobby looked run down and the concession area could use a good cleaning. The concession staff could barely work the register or Icee machine. The theater smelled like a locker room with distinct body odors wafting from the seat cushions. Next time I will be sure to pick a better theater.

The Staff is ok… The Theater itself is beat up and run down. With Granite Run Mall closing down I do not expect them to be in business much longer

Took my kids here yesterday to see Home. The place is disgusting. Our first stop was the restroom. Only one stall of 4 was semi clean, and that one had no toilet paper in it. The floor in the bathroom was sticky and there was a bag of trash just sitting on the floor. This was at the 3PM movie, so not like a mad rush just happened. Snack bar is adequate– what you expect. We were in movie theater 4. It was hot and smelly. I really didn’t want the kids to touch anything. I just moved to the burbs, so I will be looking for a better theater in the future. Would not return here.

If you’re looking to avoid the crowds at the nearby AMC Marple 10, then AMC Granite Run is where you want to be. This could be due to the major decline of the Granite Run Mall right across the lot.
As of this writing, they recently lowered their ticket pricing, matinée tickets start at $ 3.99 and evening tickets start at $ 5.99. You really can’t beat that, compared to most of the theatres in the area, even if you see a 3D movie (which is $ 3 on top of that).
AMC Granite Run is generally a very clean movie theatre with great service. I’ve always had a great experience. Though I do feel that it does show its age, especially with the old traditional seating as opposed to the stadium seating and recliners you see that other theatres.

Normally I hate going to the movies because the theater can be dirty and people get loud and annoying. No one wants to hear crying babies in a theater! Get a babysitter! Anyways, we went to the movies on a holiday afternoon and there were maybe 6 other people in the theater with us. Pretty much wonderful. There were no lines to buy tickets and snacks. I think it was the first showing because my shoes didn’t stick to the ground. The employees were really nice and asked us how it was when we were leaving. The only thing that could have made the experience better is stadium seats but I don’t see that happening.

This theater has been around forever… It’s small but otherwise just fine. I hear they may be expanding it into a larger entertainment center when they tear down the mall… Will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Small but gets the job done

I feel like everything in this shopping center has kinda seen better days. Despite this theater being a bit worn, it’s perfectly fine. Reasonable concessions (if movie concessions are reasonable at all), nice staff working there (why is it always teenagers?) and good movies at a reasonable ticket price. It’s clean inside and bucks the movie theater trend of always being super cold. Good place.

Nothing fancy going on here; I wouldn’t be surprised if this theater’s been around for a few decades. It doesn’t even have stadium-​style seating. But you know what? I like it that way. It’s relatively clean, not too crowded, and, if you’re in the area, a nice way to relax and chill out.
Yeah, who watches movies in theaters anymore? That’s the beauty of a place like this. Finding seats is easy, there’s tons of parking, and it’s probably one of the best-​kept secrets of the area.

This is my regular theater. It’s not the most prestigious place to see movies, but who cares? It’s relatively clean, well lit and organized. I don’t find it to be that big of a deal anyway, you’re there for about two hours and you leave. This theater is never that busy. You will always find a seat with ease. As with most theaters, the snacks are overpriced. It has everything needed for you to enjoy the movie.
I know we live in an age where you can download and watch movies at home, legal or illegal. I like coming here. Maybe it’s nostalgia. It doesn’t matter.

One thing I love about seeing movies in suburban movie theaters is the price. $ 9.50 on a weekend night is way better than movie theaters in the city or back at home in NJ where you’re looking at paying $ 12+. I’m not cheap, but I do enjoy entertainment on a budget and this movie theater cuts it. It may not be as flashy as a big fancy AMC Loews, but it’s got all the necessities, a short line, big theaters with tons of seats, they show 3D movies, and they have the typical overpriced snack bar. I’d take a small 6 – 7 screen theater with seating options over a 20 – 30 screen theater where you need to reserve tickets in advance and still wait in line just to find a seat behind obnoxiously loud teeny-​boppers any day.

Queue the horror film music! Went to check out a movie, arriving on a Thursday evening at 8:45. Walking up we thought it was actually closed. Closed at 8:45? I guess it’s possible, but this a movie theater. The lights were all dimmed, didn’t really see anyone milling around inside. We try a door and it actually opened. Okay… head inside and stop in utter amazement. There is not a SOUL in this joint. No staff, no movie-​goers, no one but the two of us. We’re about to back away and two folks emerge from a theater. We ask them if they’ve seen anyone else in here, they say no, that they were the only ones in their theater. We wait around in the lobby for a few more minutes, thinking perhaps a staff person would emerge from the john, but when loud beeping sounds started coming from the computers, we got out of dodge. Creepy as shizz. The good news is that it got us revved for a horror movie and we went to another theater where there were actually people!
