Let me start by saying that the Capri Theater is an amazing addition to the Fondren District. It is…read morea 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.

What an interesting theatre... from the looks outside, you would not expect a fully modern…read moreimmersive 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.

I think this place needs more staff and some upgrades. IT COULD BE A REALLY GREAT THEATRE. They…read morewere one of the first, if not the first in the area to upgrade to comfy recliner seating in the last few years. Which was initially an inconvenience for me (I typically go to the theatre 2-4 times monthly), as seating become less in each room. So for popular movies, I would often end up seated directly in front of the screen. On my last visit, tickets were being purchased at the concession stand because there was no staff at the box office. There's a potential security risk with no one checking bags at the entrance. Staff was limited at the concession center and staff overwhelmed with the dual task of ticket purchases, concession orders (which has expanded to the sell of blankets, plushies, and tumblers), and fulfilling/making food and drinks; they also now how personal pizzas and cheese sticks from Pizza Hut. I stood in the "concession" ticket line for almost 30 minutes and then moved across to the actual concession line where I stood for 20 minutes. Needless to say the movie had began by the time I made it inside. My son and I ended up doubling up in his recliner as mine was broken, leaning to one side, and only reclining about a fourth of the way. (This is the 3rd time in the past couple months I've seen a broken recliner but my first time actually unknowingly selecting that seat.) The theaters have also been less than clean. There are over 20 screen rooms in this location and they also have other mini concession areas on either theatre side, yet these have not been in use for more than 15 years. This location also only offers XD and should have some of the newer options like 4DX, RPX, IMAX, etc as they have the space for it. The arcade room is also pretty poor. I would be happy to see them expand this, along with a table seating (pub styled) area where you can come in and enjoy food while waiting for your movie to begin.

It's a nice place to go and watch a movie‼ The people are…read morenice & helpful. The seats are "AWESOME

It is such a part of history kind of place, with a small but very kind staff. If you get an opportunity to attend an event or a show here by all means do it!

For years, the public was amused with silent movies with live music on the Mighty Robert Morton Theatre organ, as well as subsequent movies with sound. The Temple still possesses 16/35/70 mm projection capabilities, and Manager/Projectionist Roger Smith is eager to resurrect the film era. The inside of our lovely auditorium is shown below. The Temple Theatre is a time capsule that everyone should see. We won't reveal too much, but everything here, from the catacombs to the dressing rooms, is authentic (except for the carpeting, main floor seats and some of the parquet flooring). There are tunnels and catacombs leading to an original Cold War fall-out bunker. When there isn't a live stage play, we normally show recent movies on our massive 40-foot screen. Local artists such as Meridian Community College Student Films and other local artists are encouraged to showcase their skills here. Call us or drop in for a tour. You will not be disappointed.
