What an interesting theatre... from the looks outside, you would not expect a fully modern immersive movie theatre experience. It gives you some of the old world feel of the early 80's cinema but once inside, you can order food directly to your seat via QR code on your table connected to your seat. The theatre seating had wide isles and could recline. I was a little disappointed you couldn't lift up the center arm to cuddle with your date. The sound was 7.1 ATMOS audio and the screen was clear. For the most part, every seat had a good view. Although if you had someone tall in a seat your view may be slightly obstructed if you were under 5'8" Prices for the theatre are average, not sure if they have any deals to be had. Parking was plentiful on the street or in the back of the building. Seats were mostly clean but there was some sticky spots that got on our skin. read more

Seats are uncomfortable. The headrest pokes out and pushes your head forward so you have to force your head back. The seats are terribly worn out for it to be relatively new. There's always crumbs in the crevices. Wear pants. The acoustics are great for a theater. The intimacy of the theater is good. Just needs to be cleaner. read more

Let me start by saying that the Capri Theater is an amazing addition to the Fondren District. It is a unique attraction that provides an entertainment option not available anywhere else in the city of Jackson, and I want it to succeed. That said, the management of the Capri have other plans. I go to the Capri to see just about any movie that doesn't feature superheroes or talking CGI animals. That's a lie. If someone pulls my arm, I'll probably go see one of those. I like going to the movies. I really like being able to walk to the movies. Being able to walk to the movies and get food and drinks delivered to my seat is kind of amazing. However, it's not so amazing as to completely narcotize my judgement and allow gross incompetence in stewardship to go unnoticed. "Well," I can hear you say, "that's a long way to go about saying that you're unhappy at the Capri for some perceived abuse. What could they have possibly done to deserve such vitriol? Allow me to pull up this here soapbox so I can testify to some indignation. To begin with, let's say you get a Capri Gift Card as a gift for Christmas from you elderly yet thoughtful mother. Thanks, Mom! You take that Capri Gift Card and walk up to the Capri Movie Theater, ask for two tickets to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and then have to try not to swallow your tongue when you're told that you can't use a Capri Gift Card to... purchase movie tickets? So, after you use your own money to pay for your ticket (Sorry, Mom), you might find yourself asking what can you purchase with your Capri Gift Card. Want some of that nostalgic movie theater candy? Well, if they have any in stock then you're in luck, but you'll probably have to settle for one of the last remaining boxes of Sweadish Fish that have probably been there since the place opened. The vending machines in Stan's Lounge have a wider variety of candy to choose from. If candy isn't your bag you can use that Capri Gift Card that you couldn't use to buy movie tickets to buy some pretty mediocre restaurant food and have it delivered right to your seat. Eventually. It might take a while, and your fries might be cold, but you got to order it right from your seat, so that's got to count for something, right? Pro tip: I've tried most everything they offer. Get the cheeseburger. What's that? You're in the mood for chicken strips? Get the cheeseburger. Trust me. Or wait until you get home and pop some Tyson Anytisers in the air fryer. They'll probably be just as good. Or, maybe you ate somewhere better before you came to the movie, like McDonalds, and you just want to sit back and enjoy a couple of drinks with you wife while you watch the Bob Dylan biopic. Lucky for you that gift card that you couldn't use to buy movie tickets is great for buying bottles of beer. Not necessarily getting bottles of beer, but you can enjoy the fun experience of playing pretend, like when you were a kid and you'd get on your bigwheel and pretend you were going through the McDonalds drive through ordering some chicken nuggets when in actuality you were just riding in circles on your driveway. So you scan the QR code there at seat F12, punch in an order for two bottles of domestic beer, throw on a tip, sit back and start enjoying the show. Until about half an hour later when you haven't gotten your drinks, and your wife has to go find someone to look into the missing bottles of beer for seat F12. Then about twenty minutes later watch folks start getting food delivered that they probably ordered fifty minutes ago, only to stare sadly as the servers keep walking past you. You never get those bottles of beer. And when the movie's over and your parched but must take time that you could be using to walk home to have a pee and grab a beer to request a refund, don't worry about a manager fawning over you with solicitous apologies, and promises to do better. Nope. At the Capri your refund will be delivered by a man with all the hospitality of a wet dish rag who will neither speak to you, nor even bother to make eye contact. Like I said. I love the Capri, and I want it to be a place I want to go. But I just saw that the Brutalist is playing there next, and the fact that I have to ask myself if I want to see it at the Capri or somewhere else, makes me sad for the Capri. read more

A great experience with great food and drinks delivered to your seat!! If you haven't been yet, you need to go!

Nice theater. Would be nice of the gentleman that was there to greet customers. Instead of asking, do we have tickets? Being rude for no reason. All sodas were indeed flat. read more

Every one was polite and friendly. Ole time charm. Very clean. Seats were comfortable. Had already had dinner but next time we will eat there and enjoy the experience! read more

Service, convenience and atmosphere get Capri Theaters 5 stars. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy with families and early date-nighters. I first ordered my movie tix and then went next door where the bowling alley and restaurant is. Good food and drinks at the restaurant - but a burger/fries and 1 drink was $30 (to include tip) for one person. (disregard that extra drink in my picture... courtesy of the guy sitting next to me :D) The movie theater was new, clean and huge screens. Matinee ticket was $8.85 and a small popcorn was $10. So, if you're willing to dish out a little extra $ but have a convenient outing in Fondren... this is your place! read more

I work here. It is better than Disney World. -Ashley

The concept is really fun, and the theater has a nostalgic feel. The food should be better for the price. A couple tweaks and it would be great. read more

A rare gem in in the Fondren area . Clean facility and comfortable seating. Easy to order tickets online before arriving and not a bad seat in the house (plus you get to choose). And the ease at ordering and paying for food was impressive. Good and quick and delivered right to your seat. We will definitely be going back. read more

What a little gem in the packed Fondren area! Going to the movies is one of my absolute favorite past times. There's plenty of movie theaters with bars but this one is special in that you scan a QR code, order and pay right from your phone and they bring it right to you! I know this concept is not new in the least but to have something like this in Jackson is a definite treat! Comfortable reclining seats and swivel tables with excellent staffing, this renovated theater is perfect for an escape. The only thing to consider is that there's not a ton of movies playing. In fact, there's just one haha! But if it's a movie you've been wanting to see, I say come to The Capri! read more

Wow! Very nice movie theater! Love that Jackson now has a nice movie theater! The food and drinks are good!

This long awaited reopening of the Capri theater has blown away our expectations. We especially enjoyed being able to order food and drinks from the comfort of our reclining seats at any point during the film. You get your pick of anything from kettle corn popcorn to refreshing cocktails to full entrées from the restaurant. All of the staff are very professional, well trained, and friendly. I hope they soon begin expanding their movie offerings so that we can go back soon! read more

Amazing update to the historic theatre. We went to see the new Spider-Man during the opening and were very impressed by the staff, food, and the quality of the whole experience. We will be back again! read more

Been once and will return. Everything was a 5 star plus they had security in parking lot which was wonderful to have.

We went to the Capri Theatre last night for the first time and let me tell you I was completely blown away! Not only was the theatre absolutely beautiful, but the service was impeccable. We were greeted and taken to our seats, which were large and comfortable and reclined. Each chair has a table with a QR code that allows you to order and purchase food and drinks right on your phone. The menu included not just your typical movie theater snacks, but also a full dinner and desert menu and beers, wine and cocktails! Your order is then served to you right at your seats! We got drinks and the white chocolate bread pudding which was absolutely divine. The workers were all very nice and helpful with directions for seating and to the bathrooms. This was a total luxury movie experience and we will 100% be coming back! read more

What a great addition to Fondren area. The theater has been beautifully renovated with wide luxury seats, but perhaps best of all with food and drinks. Order from your seat and let them deliver directly to your seat. What a perfect way to enjoy a movie. We had the nachos and duck spring rolls both of which were delicious. I highly recommend! read more

Today was my second time at the theater. It is beautifully renovated and has friendly staff. My only complaint is that they came in to collect dishes and trash from those that ordered food, at the climax of the movie - 30 to 45 minutes - before the end. Before the movie was over, I had been asked twice if I was ready to throw my drink and popcorn away. I was a little annoyed. Also, if you sit in the back two rows you can hear any noise that's in the lobby. read more
