Malco Grandview Cinema

Just got out of Finding Dory (it was great!) and I have a few things to say. We ordered our tickets online the day before, so we got in really fast. The concession lines were so long that we didn’t even bother getting anything, even though we had a good ten minutes til the previews started. The floors weren’t sticky, but when we sat down, we noticed liquid in the cup holder, ew. Everything else went smoothly, but I wish it were cleaner, and I wish they were showing this popular movie on more screens.

This is a nice theater, but the concession stand lines were rediculous. We waited for the longest to be served which is why I couldn’t add another star to this rating.

I’m a Regal girl first, then AMC, but when visiting other areas of the south I’ve realized that Malco is the only option in many cases. Well, I’ve survived as I find their prices are cheaper, the seats are nice, the venue is clean, and the atmosphere is great! This location follows suit! Friendly service and a pleasurable movie-​going experience! I will say that a rewards program is much needed. It hurts my heart to spend money with no special perks and rewards to rack up. But, I guess when you’ve got the local market cornered… no competitors, no worries! Boo! Hiss.

Really cool movie theater. Nice comfy seats and good popcorn!
The only thing that was offputting was when I asked if they served wine there (there were tables everywhere that looked like wine should be served) and the guy went and got his manager like I had just told him something threatening. Weird.
The bathrooms have lots of clean stalls, the place is spotless and they have plenty to snack on while you’re watching cool movies in their comfy seats.
Just don’t ask for alcohol.

First of all, i would like to say my family loves this theatre. The staff is always very friendly. But, the last couple of times we’ve been, the whole place has been very dirty. The glass display cases with the candy are really dirty… like the silicone sealer around the glass is hanging off & some sort of mold is growing on the glass. Today, we were in theatre #11 & the smell was awful.

1^st there’s a picture on here of super dirty floors… I’m guessing perhaps they were sweeping all the trash in one area to pick up because I’ve never ever in 10 years seen this theater dirty or with trash on the floor. Also keep in mind helpers, Malco didn’t put the trash there, patrons did, so be kind and clean up after yourselves out there!
The staff are friendly. The only reason I give them 4 stars is that more than once they’ve mistakenly given me the wrong soda. Otherwise I find it’s always clean, the seating is comfortable, and going to the movies is always a pleasant experience.
I recommend this theater over any other in the Greater Jackson area.

I always love going to malco to see the latest films. The staff is always friendly, the popcorn is good (although they don’t make it themselves [WEIRD]), and usually the theatre rooms aren’t freezing, which is a plus.

It’s the nicest theater in this area, for sure, but never seems to be really clean. We moved here from the Atlanta suburbs and there, your average theater is cleaned between showings. If they do this at Malco, it doesn’t show. It’s frustrating to pay a higher price to see a movie and then go into the theater and see trash on the floor. The bathrooms are usually fairly clean, though. I think this seems to be an issue across the board in Mississippi — businesses are just not kept pristine, and I don’t understand this. However, it’s the closest theater and clean enough for the occasional movie. I just wish it were cleaner and had a rewards program like AMC.

Living in Jackson, it can get pretty frustrating that we don’t have our own movie theatre in town. We all have to trek to the suburbs to catch films when they come through. That said, of all the options we’ve got for places to watch a movie, Malco is by far the nicest.
From the outside, it’s almost laughably fancy. The white columns and its grandiose nature can elevate any date night, for sure. As far as prices, it’s a bit pricier than the theaters in Pearl or Flowood but it’s also quite a bit fancier. It’s larger, more spacious and cleaner than any of your other options.
The staff is always friendly, though they tend to be very young which is normal for movie theaters, I think. The auditoriums are huge and they’re well insulated, so you don’t have too many issues with hearing the sound from other films while you’re watching yours. The food selections are a little pricier but you definitely get more selection here than you do at other theaters. They’ve got Dippin Dots!
If you’re looking for a nice, quality date night, head to Madison for dinner at one of the nice nearby restaurants and then catch a film at Malco!

Worth driving a little out of the way when compared to the other theaters… Flowood/​Jackson/​Pearl.

I really liked this theatre when it first opened because it’s convenient to my parents’ house, and when it first opened it was well staffed and nice. The condition has gotten progressively worse, and tonight I went to see Into the Woods (great movie!). I saw maybe 3 employees there, and when we went into our theatre there were popcorn pieces, popcorn containers, candy wrappers, and soda cups under every chair. I am not exaggerating. There were spills on the floor, and it was all around disgusting.
When we walked out of the film (one of the last showings of the night), there were no employees in sight, and there was a huge pile of trash on the floor (cups, napkins, straws, etc). Nobody seemed to be sweeping or cleaning behind the counter. I am calling the management tomorrow to complain. As a former movie theater employee for another chain, I do not understand what they are doing. I know that the end toward closing can be crazy, but there is absolutely no excuse for the amount of trash that had obviously accumulated through the day. Had no one swept?

Best «movie food» fresh made doughnuts to order. Of course, the wait times in line stink. Not sure if they offer «lay away» on their food but that would probably be good with their typical movie food prices. The food here is much better than most movie theater

Great theatre. I have been to this theatre countless times and never had a complaint. I love how there is a little arcade for the young teens to play. There is also a nice sitting area to eat in. The staff are pretty nice.

Does anyone else find it weird that you don’t see the Malco popping its own popcorn… Or maybe it’s just me. I mean you smell the popcorn because it’s being held in warmers… but you do not see them popping popcorn here. And since I don’t live here in the Jackson area, my family says they don’t pop their popcorn there at all, so is it weird… to me… yeah
Anyway the Malco is big, is pretty clean, has decent screens, seats, and sound, and plenty of parking. There’s pretty much the same type of staff here you encounter at every theater you go to… they can’t believe they’re working there, but it’s a job… Tickets are 10 $ in the evening for adults which is normal to me… but my sister says they’ve gone up on the price.
The Malco is cool, and if our first goto theater doesn’t have the movie time we’re looking for, this is definitely our next choice, even though we have to drive a bit farther out. Other than that I would say I’m a fan, but the popcorn thing makes it just Ok in my book…

Malco is a very nice theater and big enough to get the latest and some of the smaller budget films that are hard to find. Movies are expensive these days, and Maco’s prices are normal for most cities. I’ve always had pretty good customer service, but you’re dealing with teenagers — so I don’t hold it against the theater. Concessions are where theaters make their money — so they’ll always been expensive, but Malco has one of the best menus around and I’ve never been unhappy with what I’ve ordered.

They have movies. They are expensive. Oh well.

There are two theatres much closer to me, but this is the one I prefer. The theatre is clean, comfortable seating, lots of options. Prices on tickets and concessions are the same as everywhere. Expensive.

As an out-​of-​towner, I enjoyed my experience at this theater. Very grand in scale. Clear picture, relatively clean and good lighting make it a solid movie-​going experience for movie go’ers.

Always a great experience at Malco. The have the best screens and sound… the restrooms are always clean and/​or being taken care of.

Don’t like to go see a movie unless it’s at Malco. Very clean, good quality screen images, and rich sound.
