Date of visit: March 15, 2025 A smaller, neighborhood theatre that has some updates but is lacking in others, we visited the AMC Antioch 8 during a recent visit to Nashville. There were no kiosks that I could see and Jacob helped us at the box office. He was very friendly and got us on our way into the movie as quickly as possible. I was pleased to see that the theatre featured leather recliners, but less pleased when I found out that my seat didn't work... Patrons in the theatre respected the Movie Theatre Code and while bummed about the non-functioning seat, it was still better than the AMC back home. But another disappointment came in the form of no working soap dispenser in the restroom--though a large bottle of hand sanitizer was made available in lieu of the preferred method of cleansing your hands after using the restroom. read more

1st time back to this theater in quite awhile and I was pleasantly surprised. Ok, they have a bar - and while I did not order from there it was quite tempting. The concession stand was well stocked and had friendly employees. Theatre was spacious, reclining chairs and wait- heated seats. Bless my heart, I loved it. But the most satisfying thing was going to the restroom and it was Clean--- nothing stinky on the floor and they had hand soap and towels. Knock me out of the water. read more

Honestly, this theater is affordable, the staff is kind, and we've never had any issues with the theater itself. The snacks are tasty and the heated, recliner seats are great. read more

I used to frequent this theater years ago. I started going again recently because of the convenience. Most things have been fine. However, 4/4 of the recent times I've gone here the film just stopped playing and we had to wait 15-30 mins for it to be put back on & sped to the place we left off. The first 1-2 times I was giving the benefit of the doubt, but every time? Not sure I'll be back or recommend it. Get it together. read more

Old movie theatre that's needs an update. The staff was nice and professional. I just wish the seats weren't falling apart. The leather is peeling on all the seats and some seats didn't work. So if you pay for the heated/recliner seat just be prepared that the seat you pay for may not work! read more

I saw my fourth and final movie while in Nashville at this AMC. It wasn't the closest one from my hotel. It took roughly 18 minutes to drive over here. I wanted to see Minions: The Rise of Gru. It had a matinee that seemed perfect. I paid for my ticket through the AMC app and then drove here. There was lots of parking in the lot. I parked and went in. If you do need to buy a ticket, you do it at the concession stand. I bought a small popcorn and a small fountain drink. The man there was nice. I paid with a credit card. I got my popcorn and filled my cup with Diet Barq's orange. It tasted like a creamsicle. The popcorn was yummy. There is a mini flight of steps to get to the theatres. I don't recall whether there's a ramp for those who need it. I got to my auditorium. There were two staff members cleaning the seats. They had flipped a couple of seats over to vacuum. It was interesting. Row letters are on the carpet. The seats are clearly numbered, heat up, and recline. The leather on them was weathered, so they've been there for a while. I rate this AMC lower than the other three theatres (both Regal and AMC) that I had frequented while in Nashville. There was a woman with a couple of children seated in the last row. There were four teenagers closer to the screen. There was me in the middle of all of them. The time that the movie was to start, 1:30 pm, came and went. We actually waited closer to 45 minutes for something to show on the screen, such as a trailer or a bad ad. Nothing. Here's a first for me. I left my drink and popcorn near my seat, and went to the concession stand. I let a man there know that the movie hadn't started and that we've been waiting for 45 minutes. He looked concerned and said that he'd look into it. Someone forgot to press play. Seriously? Here's the kicker. As soon as I returned to my seat, the movie started. We bypassed the trailers and ads, and went straight into movie mode. The movie ended fairly close to when it should have with the typical fluff shown before it. Other than that ridiculousness, I enjoyed watching this flick. It was entertaining and enjoyable. I used the washroom before I left. It was clean and fine. Perhaps this place is understaffed, but forgetting to start a movie in a theatre isn't the best first impression that I got. Hopefully, it was a one-time thing. (336) read more

Pretty good movie theater for what it's worth! The seats are extremely comfortable and have automatic reclining and even a heated seat option! The sound is excellent during the movie. Seats are tiered so you're not looking at someone's head in the way of the screen. I think the theater could improve in their snacks. Currently snack offerings are few. Popcorn is decent but I think it's missing a lot more of that movie theater butter that is familiar. read more

This location is the closest to us. We just moved from Texas to Tennessee and we are used to Cinemark Theatres. As first time AMC visitors, we were greeted by a welcoming staff member. She explained the multiple tier memberships available and other benefits that come with the theatre. If you buy the tickets in the theatre, you only pay the ticket price. Buying it online requires an online fee unless you subscribe to a premium plan. The premium plan allows us to skip the long line by having a dedicated line for premium members. It was unnecessary today, as the theatre wasn't packed. My wife ordered a pizza and it was made to order. Our popcorn was fresh and crispy. The soda options are numerous because they are the kind where you mix syrups as you please. The seats are new, reclinable, and heated. Overall, great first experience. read more

Great place to get a good price and enjoy a movie in cozy seating! Yummy popcorn and snacks available.

Movie was great, the accessible headset worked just perfectly. Staff was great, unfortunately, my chair didn't work, but it was still comfy!

Honestly, the worst theatre I've ever been to...walked out before the movie even started. Bathrooms were disgusting, they had no popcorn unless you "preordered it", and all the employees were standing in the hallway just chatting away instead of doing any of their jobs. Last time I'll be going to this location, save your time and go to Franklin :) read more

My girlfriend and I went to this theater on Saturday evening. We went to go see the movie Oppenheimer. Halfway through the movie the computer stopped. The movie stopped in the lights. All came on in the movie was trying to play with the lights on. The whole thing was totally messed up. We went out front. It was obvious there was nobody really in charge. It was no manager on duty. That's why we started multiple people were asking questions nobody knew what to do and it was sad and I was frustrated all the same time. I spent $30 to watch this movie and I never got to see even half of it. We asked about getting a credit on our funds, they didn't know what to do. The whole thing was totally messed up on organized and not managed properly. I would never recommend this theater. read more

This theater is so dirty! I don't understand at all! I used to run to this theater since it's the closet one to where I live however, i just can't get down with the dirtiness anymore! read more

On our last day in Nashville we decided to come and see toy story. Since our flight was pretty late. This theater is located in a pretty uneventful shopping plaza, I guess this is the biggest thing in the whole area. The inside lobby was quite small, as soon as you come in the line starts forming to buy tickets and the concession stand which are one in the same. He can get very congested and because it was a Tuesday, it did. It is pretty inconvenient if you only want to buy tickets and not food because you still have to stand in line. They would benefit from a couple of self service machines where people can just go and buy it without having to go through their concessions. There is a bar across and a couple hightop tables and that area was empty, while the other side was teaming with people. I think their set up is a little flawed. As we come in to the theater room, it was filthy, it had not been cleaned yet. We were a little early so we went outside to wait at the bar but when we came back it was not much better. They had picked some of the bigger things but it was still pretty dirty. I actually liked their recliner seats a lot, they even have heating, which I used and felt so good on my back. just for that they got an extra star! (Yes they had two stars up until then) Overall is an OK theater, I haven't been to any other theaters in Tennessee so I cannot compare apples to apples but my opinion is that they could do better, it has potential. read more

Seats are so cozy--they are heated AND recline! I like that there were some indie films playing here when my family and I visited in November 2019. It's not just blockbusters on screen! Staff we met were friendly, but perhaps this theater is understaffed because the bathrooms and floors could have been a lot cleaner. Hopefully this theater will be able to address those problem area in the future. I'll give an update when I visit Nashville area again in 2020. read more

I've been a few times here, but my preference is to go elsewhere. The seats are assigned, which I prefer, but I always end up having to uncomfortably ask someone to move out of my seat, because they chose not to follow their seat assignment. Added to that, I like to sit through my movies quietly. Very rarely have I been able to accomplish that at this theater. Outside of those couple of annoyances, the theater is pretty clean, the staff is mostly friendly, and the best part... the seats are very comfortable! read more

Seemed like it's being run by a bunch of teenagers who didn't give a care. Seriously failed customer service expectations. No greetings. No smile. They looked and rolled their eyes. One guy at the concession was on his phone, others were gathered in one corner talking. Lobby was super smoky. I was afraid smoke alarm will go off any minute. read more

I can't say I've ever been to a theater like this before! We walked in and at first we were confused. We didn't see where to buy the tickets, but you buy your tickets and your concessions TOGETHER. That's pretty novel. Their Movie times tend to go by rather quickly, so pay attention, but other than that it's pretty good. Their manager was pretty awesome, he was very helpful. He signed us up for the Carmike Cinema card which is also good with Muvico! We have a Muvico in Tampa. Apparently the points I earn there will count at any Carmike place. COOL! Very comfortable cinema. Very New and very nice. I wish one of these would come near Tampa. read more

AMC Antioch 8 - Huge theater - Cinema Near Me - Antioch, Tennessee

I enjoy going to the theater and especially when it is discounted. Tony and I enjoy going on Tuesday evenings, because for $10 per couple...you can get in and get a small soda and popcorn..Not a bad price for a nice evening. Tonight we saw "RED DAWN" and it was pretty good! I enjoyed it so much! It is an easy night out and doesn't cost much! The theater is not too bad, but the bathroom could use some extra attention. Some of the theaters need a little repair but hey $2 tickets..you can't beat that!!! It is what I call a second run theater, and it shows movies that recently left the larger newest theaters..which you are paying for the hype, the glitz and the neon lights. So, I save my pennies, wait for it to show up at the Hickory and enjoy it for a fraction of the cost...Penny saver me!!! Skipping to the piggy bank!!! read more

Used to be crap, then they remodeled, and has slowly become crap again. Last time I went to see NOPE and the projector barely lit the screen. It was dark and the picture was cropped in and curved. I walked out halfway thru. They gave me a free pass to make up for this, but the pass was already expired. Tried to call today (12 times) during business hours and no one would pick up. Wanted to ask what theater the movie would be in so I don't have to deal with the same projector. Don't see a film on Screen 1. It's garbage. The bathrooms are disgusting too. Like a truck stop bathroom. read more

So excited that Nashville finally has an AMC! As a native New Yorker I wasn't a Regal girl I'd always been an AMC girl. I've missed it for the last 5 years that I've been here! I went for the first time this weekend - I didn't know they had upgraded it! I'm so happy - it was amazing. Heated leather reclining seats! Food delivered to your seat! Great food & snacks and a bar! I went back 3 days later and it will be the only theater I go to while I'm in Nashville moving forward! *note these are some small things and did not and will not change my mind about going there: The seats are on the smaller side. A $20 pretzel yea that's not going to happen. The bar is cute - but I noticed it seem like people were there for date night without the movie or just to "hang out" and technically this isn't one of the best areas in Nashville. read more

This is a pretty cool theater. I've received great service at each visit. My only con is they always have long lines when trying to buy tickets inside, seems like they never staff accurately. Otherwise, it's a clean theater and I love the heated reclining seats. The price is also pretty reasonable compared to Regal. read more

We go to this theater on a regular basis. They always have the most amount of showing per movie then most surrounding cinemas. Service is good, and They keep the theater and bathrooms clean. I always enjoy my visits here. read more

Definitely a welcomed remodel for Antioch. I can see the area where there will be a bar (can't wait for that section to open). Not only do the seats recline, but they are also heated. Now mind you the keep the air pretty chilly in theaters so the heated seats are much appreciated by us cold nature folks. A separate vip line for Premier and A-list stubs members. I definitely love going on Tuesday for the discount movie tickets, but with them playing all the new releases, I'll be coming on weekends as well. read more

Pretty all right location, the place is kept clean and the staff working there are pretty chill. Outside of maybe a few anime movies they pretty much show everything here. The seats also have recliners and heat which is a plus in my book, overall a great AMC read more

Cool new theater, comfortable seats, Imax, good prices, and friendly staff make the movie experience top notch. I cant wait to come back and watch another flick. read more

The staff is very friendly. They have the Coca Cola Freestyle drinks so there's a big selection. The reclining chairs are great. But the place is filthy. They renovated not too long ago but the bathrooms weren't updated. The carpet is caked with filth. The floor didn't look like it had been mopped in a while. read more

1 star, THE PRETZEL BITES ARE RANSID!! They smell like Burnt crayons, The mac and cheese bites had zero taste whatsoever, the movie theater is flatter than my girl and the chairs look like they got chewed up because someone didn't want to buy 60 dollar popcorn, the cheese made me gag just by smelling it!!! The root beer got messed up!!! 7.99 For a drink!!! And even if you bought the overpriced piece of crap you couldn't even get the drink since the display for the soda dispenser was made out of bullet proof glass and took me a good 30 minutes to even click on my root beer and then another to make it a vanilla root beer!!!!! After poking the hell out of the glass my fingers were sticky because the glass had to have been Licked by a thirsty 8 year old!! And I had my student id which should give a discount, and it took a draw dropping 30 cents off my 59 dollar movie. I'm a huge Parmesan fan not a big saw dust fan but that's what I got I guess. The seats where not awful but I warn you do not turn on the seat heating unless you wanted half your back melted off!! During the movie I was cold and wanted some heat but not the heat of the underworld!! Also my chair was bugging the whole movie and was moving up and down like a bull ride .The movie was fire but so was my back so it's not worth it! read more

The upgrades to this theater are awesome! Close to my home, great pricing, great concessions and very nice & professional staff!

Summary: Clean theaters but whose staff needs some additional training. My sons and I went the AMC Classic Antioch 8 because my autistic son had been wanting to see the latest Smurfs movie for months. He loves going to the movies and every time he expects a big tub of popcorn and a drink to have his movie experience. When we went to the theater it was an afternoon show so the place was almost empty. We had four other families in the theater for the movie so we had our pick of seats. The seats were a little on the small side but once you get into them they're rather comfortable. Concessions were EXPENSIVE. It cost more to get popcorn and two large drinks than it did for 3 of us to get into the film. It was the most expensive I've seen at a theater anywhere. My major issue came when my autistic son went out to get a refill on his popcorn. He had an AMC Stubs card because his mother obtained one for the AMC theater near where they live with her. He came back to me upset without popcorn in tears because he said the guy behind the counter wouldn't give him more popcorn because HE wasn't a member of AMC Stubs. I promised my son a special treat after the movie and he calmed down for the rest of the film. Bottom line: It's your typical theater that could perhaps use some training for staff on dealing with special needs folks. read more

I want to love this theater. They just remodeled the place and it has great amenities, but it is so dirty. That doesn't do it justice. The place is gross. All it would take is consistent cleaning and it would be a wonderful place. read more

This theatre had nothing available except for popcorn and drinks. The bar was not open and the staff was not kind. There weren't even any napkins. This is one of the worst experiences I've had at an AMC. read more

I arrived before my movie with my family to see a movie and we decided to get some snacks. We are AMC Premier members so we entered the Premier member line. When we arrived there were only two girls at the counter ordering, and one person working the counter. By the time the girls completed their order about 8 people got in the regular line to order. When the girls left, rather than calling us, next in line... waiting patiently, he called the next gentleman in the regular line. The customer even asked "what about them?" And was told "don't worry about them." Wait?!?!... what?!?! He finishes his order and the cashier calls the next in line... again... not us. At that point we were pissed. We pay extra as AMC Premier members, we've been standing there being intentionally ignored, and my wife walked over to let him know that we were there before all the other people now in line. When asked why he wouldn't help us, we were told the Premier line "wasn't being used, and we would have to just go to the end of the line." Why is there a Premier line open then? Another person finally came over to assist us because the cashier refused to do so. My family and I have been coming here for years and have always had great experiences... but this was ridiculous. VERY disappointed! read more

I just recently discovered this place. Best cheap date ever! $1.50 tickets: Wha? Wha?! The theatre is older but in decent shape. It's easy to pretend you're at a regular theatre. They show movies that are too old for current theatres but aren't out on DVD yet. But some of the movies come out on DVD just a week or two after they're shown here. They also sometimes show indie films! It's a mixed bag. The concessions were pretty pricey, so I'd suggest smuggling some in your purse or pockets! Other than that, you can't beat the price! read more

So, yeah, Hickory Hollow isn't fancy. It's an old theater. But where else in Nashville can you get a ticket, a water, and a box of candy for $10? Seriously. Tickets are $2. $2!!! For $2, I don't expect anything fancy! It's a discount movie theater - so you're not going to see the newest releases - but you can see a movie that came out a few weeks ago for $2! Sorry - I just can't get over that a movie ticket costs $2!!!!!! I'll be back! read more

You definitely get what you pay for, but even at $2, I expected way better than this. First time going to this theater, and I don't think I'd go back. I'd rather pay $10 more because: 1. Rude, teenage boys who probably snuck into the R rated movie, and kept shouting the lines out while they were happening. 2. Sat through 20 minutes of commericals & previews, only for the WRONG movie to start. You'd think they would just pop on the right movie, but we had to sit through 20 MORE MINUTES of commercials & previews before the right movie started. Bummer. 3. Literally half the screen was blurry. No idea why. 4. The other half of the screen had rips and holes in it. Owners! Take PRIDE in your business! Ew. read more

We have always been going to this theatre and when I went to purchase my online tickets like I always do, it randomly purchased the tickets at a theatre that is nowhere near us. I immediately saw this and requested a refund and they will not return my "online fees" which was over $4. I went to the online chat to see if they would refund me the difference and they refused several times. We even called AMC ticketing and they won't do anything to help us either. We will NEVER be giving them our service ever again! Horrible customer service!! read more

Shortest Review Ever Done In Rhythm, Too Dollar 50 Movies What They Got To Prove? Dollar Popcorn Tuesday Clogs My Arteries But I Gotta Have That Butter To Watch My Comedies The Movies Are Outdated But They're Not On DVD So I See 'Em On The Big Screen With Lots Of Company read more

Put on your sweats and your hoodie and head on down to the cheap theater. woot woot. Keep in mind you are saving money and seeing a movie that has been out for awhile now but it's an adventure. The theater and crowd can be a little rough. There may be some heckling from time to time or drama or kids crying but for the most part---i have seen several movies here and I just kept my head down mouth shut and had myself some discount entertainment. No problems. If you time it right you can swing by the O-Charley's across the parking lot and get yourself a couple two for one specials on drinks---and calm yourself down before you head on in here for the show. read more

The remodel is nice, no argument there. The main thing that makes it a hectic experience everytime is that you have to stand in the concession line to get your tickets. Even if you don't get concessions. It takes about 4x as long as it should to get to your seat because of this. There is a box office located at the front of the theater--why is it not being used? read more
