Northpark 7

This a TWO DOLLAR theater people. When I was little it was actually $ 1. Anyway, the bathroom is very gross, the theater air is stale and cramped. You can also hear movies from the other screens. But if I only have to pay $ 2 I’m not complaining. Just go in with low expectations and you’ll be ok. I love this place on a right budget.

I’m giving this theater two stars, but having said that, it’s exactly what I expected. I haven’t been here often and it’s just what you would expect from a dollar theater — small, dirty, creaky seats, sticky floors, etc. But again, that’s exactly what I expected and you get what you pay for. $ 2 for a movie in a theater setting (even if it is dingy and dirty) is refreshing and so this makes for a decent night out if you want something to do and missed out on a good movie while it was at the bigger theaters. I went on a weekend and it was a LOT busier than I expected, so it seems to be doing well.

The restroom is disgusting and super cramped, the sound system sucks, the screen is tiny, the lobby is the size of my living room, and the chairs are uncomfortable and dirty. But you only paid $ 2 for the movie so don’t have high expectations when coming here!
The staff is nice but then again, I don’t have a whole lot of interaction with them. I hate using public restrooms and wish employees cleaned it better because it was gross. There was a dirty diaper on the floor which is not the theater’s fault. Can’t believe some woman couldn’t at least dump that in the trash can on the way out. That’s just lazy and inconsiderate.
The theater is located inside the Northpark mall which doesn’t have any of your typical mall stores. Most of them are local shops. The Rococo Restaurant looked like the only other place worth going to at Northpark.
After reading other reviews, I was expecting some run down building in the hood. That wasn’t the case at all. There’s a Walgreens next door, the parking lot was huge, the building looked new, and the neighborhood didn’t have a scary vibe.

People need to appreciate this place for what it is: A DOLLAR THEATRE
This a no frills place to get relatively reasonable popcorn and drinks and see good movies on the cheap.
I totally recommend this place for a date night that is easy on the wallet.

I used to really enjoy going to this place years ago because if you missed a hit movie and you do not want to wait 3 months for the movie to come out on DVD you can come here and see a movie for a 2 dollars or even a dollar on Tuesdays.
So i will tell you all why i gave this place 1 star instead of 3. Years ago i went there to see without a paddle, and resident evil Apocalypse. After i was done with without a paddle i went to the bathroom and i heard some kids laughing so i asked what they were laughing about and they pointed to the wall.
On the wall was a dried up piece of poop that had toilet paper still stuck in it. Now let me tell you it had to be stuck on the wall for a while because it stayed there and didn’t move.
Now i know this place is the dollar theaters so whenever i went there i expected my shoes to stick to the floors or popcorn on the floor that wasn’t cleaned up from the last showing.
But this was inexcusable they should have people going into the bathrooms every half an hour. So i went to the register/​snack bar and told them and 1 of the cashiers laughed and joked about how it happened again.
So i asked for a refund on the second movie and left. I have only went back to the place 1 other time since then and while there wasn’t any crap on the walls the people working there still didn’t seem to care about keeping the place clean.

2^nd showing films are a dollar every Tuesday. Many films, however, have already been released to DVD. However, I enjoy taking my children here or going to a movie alone that I may not want to see on a bigger screen. Yes, the screens are smaller than expected. At times, you cannot see the entire frame, especially if the movie contains writing or subtitles. The popcorn and drinks taste excellent, but the theaters need massive updates, such as the dirty, dirty chairs. Overall, I keep going to Northpark Cinema! Two dollars for two hours of movie-​going experience is still entertaining. I rate the theater based on a dollar-​movie experience.

How have I not reviewed this place?!
Northpark cinema is an enigma. My normal, rational shower taking self says hate this place. My movie loving, bargain finding movie nostalgia side loves it!
It’s your typical dollar theatre in that it’s a hole. The theaters have concrete floors, the popcorn isn’t very good and it tends to be warmer than necessary.
All that being said, a $ 2 movie ($ 1 Tuesday’s) is rad. In an age of $ 16 IMAX premiers, this place is a relic of a lost age when stadium seating meant a slight slope in the floor. This place is rad for sneaking away on a weekday to catch a flick you missed in regular theaters, or one you wanna see one more time before DVD.
The Pros
1. Super cheap movies
2. Cheap concessions
3. Laid back staff
4. Great to watch a movie you don’t wanna pay full price for.
The Cons
1. Dirty
2. Out in the sticks
3. You might get stabbed, or bitten by a homeless guy.
4. Probably not a great idea to come here at night.
You should probably go during the day, and in groups if your a lady haha

if you ever wondered where homeless people go every tuesday, try the northpark mall cinema. every tuesday movies are 50 cents, regular price is $ 2. dollar friggin’ hot dogs.
josh, the high school dude that’s there is mad cool. he’s a straight edge kid, clean cut, but he knows his movies and is ready to rock your world with his movie knowledge. just ASK HIM what ingredients are in the delicious buttery popcorn… prepare to stay a while.
place is a perfect cheap spot in the city, it’s worth what you pay, and they can only fit like 50 people at most. this place rocks. i go here all the time.

Northpark Cinema is northside Oklahoma City’s sole remaining dollar theater so for that in itself it automatically earns three stars. Plus, it has fifty cent Tuesdays which can’t be beat.
What keeps it from being a five star theater is the sound. I’m prepared to park myself for two hours in what feels like a padding-​free lawn chair but (even for fifty cents) I do expect the sound to be consistent. During one film the sound was very uneven, cutting in and out of the speaker (s) to the point where actors’ voices were barely audible. The screens are much smaller than expected as well. While certainly larger than a twenty inch home television set, the screens aren’t really big enough to accommodate subtitles so be prepared to either hone up your foreign language skills so the subtitles won’t be necessary or enjoy missing chunks of dialogue (as I did while watching The Pianist). Actually, the smell keeps it from being five star as well. It doesn’t smell like an open cesspool by any means– it just smells kind of… musty. Like I imagine the theater in which Paul Ruebens was arrested must smell.
But then again, there’s fifty cent Tuesdays. If you’re not fussy and can accept that your surroundings aren’t plush but you’re still getting more for your money than you’re paying, you’ll enjoy Northpark.
