I visited earlier this year to watch Tuscaloosa County High put on a production of Beauty and the Beast. The inside looks like you're sitting outside the doors of a beautiful castle, faux brick lining the walls, balconies, and the ceiling painted like the sky. The little lights embedded in the ceiling come on when the lights go off so it looks like your gazing at the stars. The seats are by no means five star but they aren't intolerable either. They have a concessions area with typical theater prices. The biggest negative is the parking. It can be a real stinker and you may have quite a walk.

The architecture, history and tradition are outstanding. Also, the modern touches such as the sound system and seating which literally makes every seat a good seat.

After I bought my two tickets they rudely asked me to put the candy that I had brought with me back in my car. After doing so they aggressively told me that I was not allowed inside and they would not even give me a refund for my tickets. Instead told me I had to leave. A -2/10 experience for me with no redeeming qualities. I was already not a huge fan of this theater due to the bad parking lot, uncomfortable seats, sticky and dirty theaters, highly priced concessions, and now rude employees. Safe to say I will not be visiting again.

There's two (2) players in Tupelo when it comes to movies. There's Cinemark 8 in the mall, and…read moreMalco, which is a newer stand alone Theatre, just down the street. While each has their pros and cons, just for the overall more laid back vibe, I prefer Cinemark. As stated, it's in the mall, and when you first walk in, feels very much like an old-school mall theatre. You can book online (or purchase in person the old fashioned way), and choose your seating. Then, pick up your physical tickets when you arrive, via the box office (if it's being staffed), the kiosk inside, or the concession stand. As far as the theatres themselves, it's run of the mill digital surround sound. And the bigger theater you're in the better the sound, because of more speakers. That said, don't go in expecting Dolby Atmos or 4D, or an XD (IMAX competitor) screen. Expect an older style gentle sloping theatre (versus pure stadium seating) with comfortable "luxury recliners". The staff is friendly, the seats are comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean. Also, if you go to the movies somewhat often or regularly, their movie club membership is more than worth it. My only real issue would be inconsistent A/C temps, depending on which theatre house you're in. In my opinion theatres should consistently be on the colder side.

Comparative to Cinemark (the other theater in town), this venue is clearly newer and has better…read moretechnology. Bigger stadium style seating, better projection, and higher quality sound, with Dolby Atmos offerings for certain films. That said, you're going to pay for it. Whereas a late showing at Cinemark runs $9.50- $9.75 (as of 26 May 25), Malco is charging $11.25-$11.75. On Tuesday specials, you have a similar gap, with Cinemark around $5, and Malco around $7. I generally find this reasonable given the differences. We swung by on Memorial Day during a busy opening, holiday extended weekend. Booking online (and having to pay extra for it) helps get past any lines, and skip to the kiosk. Like most modern theaters, there's no traditional movie stubs; rather cheap receipt paper tickets, about as thin as toilet paper. Being a stub collector I find this disappointing, but again I can't ding them for it, as it's par for the course with most theatres. The staff was courteous, and the theater clean. Until that point I was sitting on five (5) stars ... unfortunately I cannot ignore or forgive the state of disrepair my "luxury" seat was in (picture included; House 5, Row J). And the two (2) next to it, weren't far behind, so it clearly wasn't a one (1) off. This is not something that gets accidentally missed, nor something that happened suddenly. Because of that, I can't get past a two (2). However, being a film lover, I will try again in about a month, booking the same House, to see if there are any changes. If so, I'll update my rating accordingly.
