Online Tickets (and how to save some money)

Kavitha ReddyPalace

While the basic concept of movie going has remained the same over the last hundred years… buy a ticket, get some popcorn, watch a movie.  The experience has progressed with the times.  Now we have flavors of popcorn, immersive movie showings with recliner seats, and  online tickets. One of the most obvious things that has changed about the ticket is …

It’s really, Really, REALLY bad.

  Let’s pretend that you make $10 per hour. What would you do if for one year, you have to live on $1 per hour. You live paycheck to paycheck and do not have any other sources of income. You have eliminated all of the bills you can, but you still have your electric bill and other unavoidable costs. How …

  WHY we need help. We have a lot of different ages as fans of the Palace so before we get to the “how” we want you to understand the “why.”  If you already understand this, please scroll down to the HOW section.  In a nutshell: Grab a calculator and add up what you made in May, June, July and …

Getting the movie you want at the Palace

Kavitha ReddyFeature Films, Industry, Palace

We do not pick the new release movies that are played at the Palace.  For that reason… if there is a specific movie that you want to see, sometimes YOU need to bring it to us.  We get most big releases, but small releases are pretty rare for us.  The studios have very targeted areas for their movies and their …

Is this movie appropriate?

Kavitha ReddyFeature Films, Industry, Palace

Movie theaters are weird. We don’t have any control over the product we sell (movies). Not only do we not have any say in what gets made, we also don’t get to pick what comes to us. We are not well versed in every movie that comes through. We do not get any special treatment from the studio. They do …
