Century 8 Theatres

I’ve been going to this theater for years and just went back last week to see Kung Fu Panda 3.
Thomas at the ticket register was an awesome kid and was very welcoming and accommodating.
When I walked into the theater, I was shocked and so excited to find out that they did some major renovations to the place.
It is so much more comfortable and enjoyable with the new oversized leather reclining seats.
The theater’s only downfall is the clientele that somehow think it’s ok to bring infants and young children with no sense of manners to the theater.
If you can’t keep quiet throughout a movie or don’t know how to turn off your cellphone (Even though there is a major commercial to remind you before the film) do everyone a favor and stay at home and wait for the RedBox.

This theater is a decent theater especially being in North Hollywood. The new renovations are a plus. Like how the seats are recliners now and you choose your seats while buying your tickets. Lots of personal space as well, don’t have to squeeze my legs if someone has to walk through the row. The only thing that is a negative are the people that come here, always talking throughout the movies and can never sit in their assigned seats. It’s inconvenient when the employees are asking you politely to sit in the seat you chose before entering the theater.

What an improvement with the update. Huge stadium seating that is super. They have leg rests like a lazy boy. There tix prices are such great value. $ 7 for afternoon movie just rocks. Good bite my Hollywood staple. Im back at the valley for films.

The caterpillar has become a butterfly. From a very ghetto theater, to my new favorite due to easy parking, new lounge chairs, and affordable seats. 3 D star wars in lounge chairs for $ 10 and I got to pick my seat? WTF? They will be raising prices soon I am sure… go now!
Popcorn is still a rip. love the upgrades.

I guess you get what you pay for…
While I am not an «Arclight snob», at least there I don’t have to encounter rude people constantly checking their text messages while the film is playing. Then the other rude people who think it is OK to yak on all through the movie. All it takes is a few to ruin it for all.
I may have to pay more at the Arclight… however, I’ve never encountered the constant and numerous people lighting up their phones.
And the parking is the worst anywhere…

I never watched a movie in a lazy boy recliner seat and it was amazing! so much leg room that you didnt have to worry about people walking infront of you.
The theater was a bit small, the food more expensive than I had before, and people just did not stop talking behind me.

Sure, it’s a little dingy but nothing to complain about. My boyfriend and I were a little alarmed when I Unilocaled the place and saw repeated reviews describing how sketchy the parking situation was — and we were relieved to find that untrue. It’s a far cry from the mall-​shared parking many movie theaters have, but hardly worth skipping out on their great seats for.
The theatre is a little dark and slightly run down, but no red flags as far as I could see. The seats were very comfortable with buttons to adjust so you can stretch your feet and lean back. The prices are fair — around $ 10 for adults, $ 8 for students and $ 6 for children. I didn’t take a look at their concession prices because there was a Burger King nearby and why have overpriced popcorn when you can have chicken fries?

This place has undergone a serious upgrade since my last review. They have switched out their projectors for digital. They have replaced all of the old 1970s seats with brand new airplane seats that can slide into nearly a Business Class bed. And they are now renovating their escalator so it will finally work again.
Things that have not changed are the concession and the prices. One can still see a first run movie here in the afternoon for $ 6.50.
And Century 8 accepts movie industry union cards (SAG, DGA, WGA…), offing one free ticket per day year round.

Great theater! Every seat is a electronic recliner and only $ 6.50 for a matinée! Also they have their own Starbucks!

Super comfortable recliner seats super friendly staff that assisted us find our seats! Best popcorn ever! Very impressed

You know those comfy seats they have at AMC Prime that cost $ 20. Well Century 8 has those same seats and they cost $ 10. Yup, half the price.
You’re not going to get Dolby surround sound and IMAX, but you’re going to be able to enjoy a night out with friends and family without breaking the bank.
This is one of my favorite local theaters.
The only downside is that because the recliners are so big, there are fewer seats. Any opening weekend movie will quickly sell out. So buy your tickets in advance or wait fore the next weekend.
Personally, I use Movie Pass, which lets me watch a movie a day for $ 35 a month. I watch roughly 12 movies a month. It’s a great deal if you watch at least 3 movies a month. It can be used at this theater, AMC, Pacific, New Beverly, Egytian/​Aero, Regal and more.

The new renovations are awesome. They are doing more work on the stairs.
It’s assigned seating which they didn’t have a few years ago. It’s like an old fashioned theatre but the most comfortable old fashioned theatre ever. It has modern upgrades like reclining seats.
Even though they don’t have IMAX screen the simplicity of the movie watching experience makes up for it.
It reminds me of going to the movies when I was a kid. The staff is friendly, there is never a line and the tickets are dirt cheap.
There is no reason to go to another Theatre unless you want to watch IMAX.
I love this place!

Renovated and amazing! Chairs are so comfy and prices are extremely reasonable! Loving coming here for maintenees! 1 free refill on a large popcorn – worth it!

Friend of mine told me that this movie theater was recently remodeled with nice reclining seats. I watched a couple of movie in different visits and I have to say this movie theater is not bad at all although I prefer the seats at AMC Fallbrook much better.
Here are some pointers:
+++They have 8 theaters, I watched a movie in one theater that was kind of small on the bottom floor, maybe that holds around 60 people or so. Another theater (6) on the second third floors holds between 180 and 200 more or less.
+++The sound is not bad at all.
+++ You can reserve a seat and pay for it online. If the movie you are watching is on the bottom floor then you need to scan your ticket at the main lobby and they will issue a ticket for you. If you are watching a movie on the third floor, they have scanner and you are good to go. I wonder why they have no scanner on the bottom level.
+++ They have automated ticket machine just outside the theater if you like to purchase tickets. Be warned on the weekends the line is long here, even inside the lobby so plan ahead.
+++ Tickets are as cheap as they come. They have $ 6 days special, otherwise ticket not more than $ 8 and that is a good deal.
+++ I have not used the concession but I hear they are not cheap. They have one in the lobby and small one on the third level.
+++ They try to keep the theaters as well as the outside areas as clean as possible although its kind of tough to do in busy days.
+++Parking can be an issue on the weekends.
This is a nice theater to go to if the movie I want to watch is not playing or sold out at my favorite AMC Fallbrook.

You think this theatre is in Beverly Hills or some other upscale suburb. The remodel of this theatre is amazing. The reclining chairs are so comfortable and spacious that you do feel like you’re watching a movie at home. The movie prices are very reasonable too. This has been an amazing surprise for me because this theatre used to be a dump. I plan to watching more movie releases here.

I’ve been here a few times and with all the new remodeling that has happened, the stairway and seatings are pretty nice and clean. BUT the concessions are TERRIBLE!!!
Most of them look lost or not even paying attention. Sometimes there are way too many people behind the counter, not working. Usually there would be only one cashier with 5 – 6 people standing in line. They need to get that part organized, then I’d give this place 5 stars!

Ok so this place hasn’t been Century in a long time. It’s undergone a change in management and a renovation. Thank goodness because the Century that was here before really needed to go. Everything inside that place was so outdated. There’s still the same large free parking lot in the back. The carpets inside have been replaced, seats are comfy recliners and they offer reserved seating now. We went on Labor Day to watch The Transporter at 12 PM. Tickets were only $ 6 each. We purchased online and they just scanned the QRS code on the phone. The place was pretty clean. Not crowded for a holiday showing. Service at the concession stand was a little slow but they got the order right so I can’t complain. We order 2 nachos, 3 large drinks, 2 small drinks, a bottled water and 2 large popcorns. Total was only $ 56 which had we gone to AMC would have been well over $ 100. We get to the room showing our movie and there was probably less than 30 people watching; so it was pretty empty. Keep in mind we had reserved seating. We walk to our seats to find another family fully reclined and eating their popcorn ahead of us. Really, out of the hundred seats there they had to choose the 7 we reserved online?! And they’re the ones that looked irritated that we made them leave. Seriously?! Once we got to our seats everything was pretty good. Movie started on time, sound/​picture quality were up to par and there weren’t any loud/​annoying people disturbing the peace. I had a pleasant experience and would definitely go back again.

The renovations at this place are amazing. I am impressed. The new seats are amazing. The fact that they can recline is heaven.
I love going here on a weekday because it’s never too crowded. It’s like a hidden gem in the valley.
I came here to see Trainwreck on a Monday evening. I love that they give student discounts. Monday’s are also Senior Mondays. Their tickets cost $ 5.50.

I love this theater. I’ve been coming here since last year even before the renovations. I just hope they never raise their prices. The renovations are great! Who doesn’t love recliner seats?!
My movie tips to saving money at this theater:
— On Tuesdays movies are $ 6 all day long
— Watch movies during 4pm-​6pm everyday (Twilight hours) where it only costs $ 5.90
— If I have to go at night with my friends, student discount is $ 7.90
— Get a kids pack $ 6 ish so you don’t have to splurge to get popcorn, candy, and a drink. Save on calories too. LOL
In a world where movie prices are well past $ 13, I would rather come here but I also love how no one really knows this theater location. Wait? Did I just ruin that? LOL Cinemark is now the name on the theater but I really hope that doesn’t mean prices will rise like I said before. They also have reserved seating too. Please don’t ruin this theater and make it ghetto! LOL Plenty of parking here too.
Say hi, if you see me here. LOL Ballers on a budget unite! :)

2015 Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE — ⁰⁶⁵⁄₁₀₀
Came here for the first time last night, and I was pretty impressed with the renovations!
I was a little hesitant about going to this theater because I wanted to watch a movie by myself, and the only showing available for Inside Out was at 9:40pm. I prefer not to be out late by myself as a lone woman for safety reasons… but I was really drawn in by the recent reviews about how this place has really improved since they’ve been renovating it.
I was confused because after plugging on the address on Google Maps street view, it showed the building next to the street… but there was no sign of the entrance or where to park. When I got here last night I drove around the building, and discovered the entrance and a small parking structure were on the otherside, next to an alley-​like street. A little bit sketch… but at least there’s free parking!
This movie theater is 2 stories, but the bottom floor seems to be still undergoing major construction. They had some machines downstairs that you could use to buy your ticket, but they also had a guy at the top of the stairs that was running the cash register.
There are a pretty decent amount of stairs to get to the second level. There’s a one way escalator against the right wall too, but it seemed to be out of service when I went.
This place was totally dead at 9:30pm on a Thursday night. I was worried that I wouldn’t get seats since Inside Out is a new movie, but there really were only like 10 – 15 other people watching the movie besides me.
The thing that blew me away by this theater was the theater itself. I have never sat in this nice of a theater before! All of the seats were leather-​ish?, much larger than normal movie theater seats and wider apart, wider aisles, and the chairs were recliners, like battery or electric powered! By FAR the most comfortable I have ever felt at a movie theater. It was freaking awesome! And it wasn’t outrageously expensive/​overpriced like some other high end theaters either. It was like the average price for a ticket. I was impressed!
The bathrooms were also very clean and nicely renovated as well, although I was a bit taken back by how WARM it was inside when I first entered.
Loved the theater experience, hands down. Only cons are that it’s still not finished, it’s not in the best area, and it only has 8 theaters so they have a really limited amount of movies shown here. Definitely want to come back again!
