Cinemas de Charlotte: AMC Carolina Pavilion 22
Going to the movies can be one of the most relaxing things you can do after a long week at work. This is where AMC Carolina Pavilion 22 comes in. Located in South Charlotte, after you finish your movie, you can walk across the parking lot to shop at your local Target or directly behind the theater at Carters Children's Clothing Store. If you think about it, this can be the best of both worlds for any family.

ONEGoogle reviewer said“I couldn't go to the movies as a kid because I'm deaf or hard of hearing. Once my daughter got me into AMC theaters, I was hooked on the experience! And best of all, they show your movies with subtitles on the picture.”

Cines de Charlotte: AMC Northlake 14
AMC began in the early 20th century when Maurice, Edward and Barney Dubinsky purchased the Regent Theater in Kansas City, Mo. Now, more than 20 years later, the company has opened approximately 1,000 theaters and 11,000 screens worldwide. It's safe to say that a good number of them are probably connected to a shopping mall. Being connected to a mall is not only good for the mall, but especially for the theater. Allows guests to go somewhere to relax after a long day of shopping. But don't get us wrong, just because they're in a strip mall doesn't mean you won't get a state-of-the-art cinematic experience, complete with IMAX!

As with the previous AMC, the AMC Northlake 14 offers many of the same features, including premium leather reclining seats that offer guests on a gathering or family outing one of the best ways to enjoy a show. Just don't sleep, we don't want you to miss the best parts of the movie.

One of the things AMC does best is its premium selection of concessions. You can enjoy anything from a hot dog to a pizza; a hamburger and fries to the traditional nachos. However, one of the best things you can get is still the big bucket of popcorn. There's nothing quite like going to the movies, buying some popcorn and soda, and then sitting back and enjoying everything AMC and Hollywood have to offer.

That isGoogle reviewer saysBest: “As a REALTOR®, we work HARD. But we get to enjoy our memories and support the team and that's why we LOVE coming to this theater! the seats are so comfortable. Lazy-Boy style armchairs. Plus, when setting up your recliner, you can also set how warm you want your seat to be - from hot to hot.

Charlotte Cinemas: AMC Park Terrace 6
Being in the heart of Charlotte, NC is one of the best things AMC Park Terrace 6 has to offer, but it's not the only thing. During the summer, having heated seats can seem like a silly fad that will never come in handy. That is until you get to the fall and winter months. Having heated seats now doesn't seem silly anymore, but rather a very welcome treat for your butt!

Theaters in general are always trying to find new ways to attract crowds, and one of the best ways is to allow guests to wear costumes, with exceptions, to the premieres of their favorite movies. Another way to do this is to host cosplayers in full costume doing L.A.R.P. in the lobby or auditorium to your favorite movies. This is something AMC Park Terrace has done in the past with excellent results during the last series ofwar of the galaxiesFilms.

One of the biggest hurdles for moviegoers isn't so much the lack of movies hitting theaters recently or the events of the last few years. Not. A major hurdle is the cost of tickets, and like most AMC theaters, AMC Park Terrace 6 offers its guests discounted matinees as well as discounted tickets on Tuesdays. Along with that, you can also rent out an entire auditorium if you want to provide your employees, family and friends with a truly unique experience at a reasonable price.

Charlotte Cinemas: Regal Starlight – Charlotte
Regal is one of the leading theaters on the market, with its RPX technology many consumers keep coming back to. This technology offers the very latest in cinema image and sound. As a former Projection Manager at Regal, when the only sound options were Dolby, DTS and SDDS, we needed to turn the volume up when guests wanted a better sound experience. Now, with the technology here, guests get the ultimate hassle-free experience because they need it at their preferred volume level.
Regal Starlight: Charlotte offers guests with young children the option of hosting their precious mini-me's birthday party in her ballroom before showing one of their favorite movies.

Charlotte Cinemas: Regal Phillips Place
One of Charlotte's oldest Regal theaters, Regal Phillips Place may not have many of the bells and whistles that others have, such as RPX, IMAX or 4DX, but what it does have is atmosphere. When you approach the theater for the first time, you are immediately struck in the face by its sheer beauty. The building looks like one of those out of a 50's movie. You have a really nice canopy just above the ticket office, which you approach by going up a few steps, very chic. It's also located at the end of what appears to be an old town square lined with shops and restaurants.
