Flagship theater opens at old AMC in Churchville

Kendall Gallup, Staff Writer

December 20, 2024

Flagship Cinemas re-opened in the old AMC theater on November 8. The building went through a ton of remodeling and improvements to be able to re-open and meet the expectations movie fans had set for it.

With having other local theaters, Flagship has made sure they had things that set them apart from the competition. They made certain to renovate it into a very modern and updated movie theater.

Flagship Cinemas has a very clean and modern look to their new theater. From the seats to the bathrooms and even the hallways, everything is well maintained and up to date.

One thing that Flagship Cinemas has that sets them apart from many other movie theaters is their self-serve popcorn machine. While many movie theaters offer some self-serve options, there are very few that have self-serve popcorn that can come out of a chute right into a bucket.

Flagship also has the new and very comfortable cushiony reclining seats. These make a movie-watching experience more enjoyable, with an extra level of comfort.

The bathrooms are very well-kept and even modernized with LED light mirrors and touch-free sinks and dryers. All these little details can make a theater have a good and bad reputation because if upkeep is not good, then no one would want to keep spending their money at that location.

Not only does the food taste good, but they made the food affordable. They offer deals for popcorn buckets, making refills cheaper than the price of a small popcorn. Compared to other theaters, the price for small and large drinks is significantly lower.

While all of this so far is very positive, there still are some things for the new theater to work on. When entering the building to retrieve tickets, the entrance gets super crowded and unorganized causing some commotion.

Lastly, depending on whether the customer is a Pepsi or Coke fan, Flagship Cinemas does offer Pepsi products. This is something that is good or bad depending on which brand is preferred.

The new Flagship Cinemas is constantly busy because of the positive experience they are giving customers so far. The renovation was much needed and has created a better experience for all movie theater fans.
