While watching Spiderman someone kept yelling profanities. I was so uncomfortable but then I saw a worker come in an settle down some teens who I think were the ones yelling. Thank you Silvia for all your help today, I will be returning. read more

Saw Moana Saturday morning with two littles. Everyone was so welcoming, especially the 2 young ladies at the concession stand. Popcorn was hot and the kids loved their icees. Theater was clean. Great experience. read more

Bad service, one of the managers, I believe his name is Adam puts on a fake facade to the customers. I was here Spiderman Opening Night and he was unbelievable rude to one of the girls that were behind snack bar. Is this really what happens behind the scenes? read more

once again i have gone to the theatre and have found the same group of girls not doing their job. u walk in and the workers all stand behind the counter huddled up not doing what they are supposed to be doing. they give u looks as if u dont belong there. i am sick and tired of it. they need to be told something. unprofessional behavior read more

Wouldn't even come if your over 21 on your own-or with your siblings, they won't let you see rated R movies unless your 25. The manger said it was on the website and I don't see any policy that says that. On the window it does show over 17 but not the 25 and over. Maybe they should really update it if that's a TRUE policy's read more

Very nice old style movie theater. Very inexpensive on a Friday night. I love that they don't show commercials. I also love that they have no ridiculous AMC style introductions. Nice big screen and good sound. Lobby absolutely a mess. Popcorn everywhere. Friendly staff at the front door. read more

Premiere Cinemas - Cinema Near Me - Hollister, California

Really disappointed with how the staff treats customers. Went to watch Nobody 2 at 5:15 and the movie was being projected improperly, so the entire film looked very blurry and had a neon green line right down the middle of the screen. It was becoming too much of a headache to watch so I went to the concession stand to talk about it and one of the staff members mentioned that they'd been having problems projecting the film all day, and to go to the outdoor ticketing window for a refund or credit to see another film. When I went to the ticketing window, the young woman running it was actually talking to the manager already. When I brought up my concern about the film and requested a refund or credit to the young woman, the manager immediately stopped their conversation and went to go hide in the back. The young woman kept going on and on about how she couldn't refund me or give me a credit to see another movie. So I requested to speak to the manager, she insisted that he was on the phone (he was not, as I just saw him not even 2 minutes ago go into hiding when he heard me mention a refund), and we both went back and forth on how to make this right. I got frustrated and gave up, and decided to take my loss, but then came back just insisting on speaking to the manager as I spent over $40+ in food alone to watch a movie with my husband for date night and was not just about to leave. After some back and forth the manager came out and could not have cared less about the situation. He gave me the same tired speech about not being able to give me a refund or a credit, not even a sincere apology for our experience, then switched his script and said I would need to leave the premises if I received a refund and I wouldn't be to finish our movie or even watch a different one....what? Never in a million years would I think a paying customer would be asked to leave an establishment for a company's mistake. If I was being rude or threatening then it'd be understandable, but I asked KINDLY for the situation to be resolved. It honestly felt like a slap in the face, so I told the manager I would never EVER be coming back here. They knew from the day they opened today that the film was having problems with projection and still decided to run the film and have people pay to watch it, and I obviously wasn't the first to complain about it!! And If I couldn't get a refund, at least let me get a credit to watch another film- I would've taken that! I guess the manager realized what he had done wrong and gave me 2 credits to watch another film, but honestly, with the hassle they gave me today, I'm not sure if I will ever come back to this theater. It took over 30 minutes just to come to a solution. All I can say is, do better, hire better staff/a better manager, and take notes. I've had projection issues at the Morgan Hill cinema, and without hesitation, the staff there let us finish the film and gave us complimentary tickets to come back to see another film. This is the only movie theater in town, and compared to its surrounding competitors, it quite literally has nothing to offer with its dated interior and seats. You'd think with that they'd take care of their customers the first time or be more empathetic, but no. I would always go to the movie theater in Gilroy and Morgan Hill and stopped so that I can support local businesses in my hometown, but it's clear my business isn't appreciated here and I will be making my drive out of town again to where it is. Thanks. read more

A lil outdated. Seats are not the most comfortable where you are too upright and it does not recline at all. Smells old as well.

Please keep this. They are amazing local movie theatre with plenty of parking and we love it.

Never been so disappointed in my life. I go to movies 1-2 times a month. I usually don't have a problem. This time they really showed their colors. I purchased a ticket online then went in to watch the movie. I went to the machine to redeem the ticket, and they changed doing that to the food counter. I then asked if for some food and was told that I have to go wait in a different line. I went to this line and got what I wanted. I was going to spend $21.00+ for the food. He told me, at 1:00 in the afternoon that he couldn't break the $100.00 bill. I said Okay If I can't get the food refund my ticket in full and I'd be on my way. The really young guy, the manager as he told me, told me that they could refund my ticket, but I wasn't going to get it all back Because it was ordered online. I told him that that wasn't my problem, and I didn't appreciate him stealing my money. We are talking about 30% of the ticket value by the dollar total he gave me. It isn't my fault that they can't be prepared to run their business effectively when open. Nor should i be penalized for it. If I wanted to just give away money, I'd give it to a charity where it could do some good. I call three times to talk to Frank Tankersley, who is apparently the owner and have no received any response. If you want to deal with someone like this that is your choice. I will never be back at that location or any other run by Mr. Tankersley again. This is just bad business. If you can't effectively be ready for business, don't saddle your short comings on your customers or your ex-customers in this case. I didn't see any remorse or care for what I was being put through either. They just took my money and refused me a full refund because they couldn't get it together to run the business., so now I'm out the price of the ticket. read more

Everyone here is friendly and professional We like to come every week This theater is always clean I love the popcorn read more

Cute little Cinema in the city of Hollister. Have enjoyed three great movies there. Please note seats are more on the older side, good options at the snack counter. read more

Went to see the new Mario movie with my kids. Got tickets the day before and picked out seats. When we arrived the showing was sold out. While we waited for the film to start there were a lot of unsupervised teens/tweens running around the theater. We saw a family that arrived to find their seats occupied by another group. They went off to see if a manager could sort it out and never returned. The start time for the movie came and went, with nothing on the screen. We waited 20 minutes with no word from management about what caused the delay. Finally, we left and asked for a refund. When we were waiting for our refund to be processed we saw the other family, who had apparently bought seats that were double booked. What a mess! The icing on the cake: When I got home I looked at my refund and saw that it was $5 less than what I paid for the tickets. read more

Very impressed with the manager today (didn't get his name but he is a younger guy with dark curly hair) and if he's not the manager, he certainly should be. A group of teenage boys came in and were cursing in the lobby (to each other, but loudly) less than 8 feet away from my 5 and 7 year old girls. As the manager approached, they asked where to buy tickets. The manager replied politely that they could purchase them at the concession stand but then also politely added that he would not sell them tickets because cursing in the theater is not acceptable. He even added a very thoughtful explanation that if they could not respect other customers, they would not be allowed in it. To their credit, the boys apologized equally as polite and walked out, appearing to have acknowledged their mistake. As a parent, I really appreciate this young man's approach and wish sincerely that we had more people like him in charge. read more

I love that we have a cinema here in our small town. Love the seating and how comfy the chairs are. Love the popcorn and food. I'm really happy when I come here with my family. All the staff is really friendly and patient. read more

Never had to cancel a movie there after ordering online. The manager Anthony was so helpful and very pleasant ! We love Premier, especially their nachos read more

Every single employee was friendly and helpful! The popcorn was tasty and the seats were comfortable. Oh, and the sound wasn't too loud!!

This is a review on the new app. Not the actual theater, which is good. The new version of the app is atrocious. It's ugly, not user friendly, too many unnecessary steps just to buy tickets. Just see the start times you have to click on the movie. The old version was clean, sleek, smooth and very user friendly. This new version stinks on every level. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid but with these new hours they have it's ridiculous! If the kids are out of school then the theater should at least show movies starting at 11. They use to open everyday at 11 and now the first showing isn't till 2pm which is just dumb especially if there isn't anything else to do in this town for kids read more

Looking for a good night out...stay far away and for sure DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS/TEENAGERS. These workers are not friendly & instead they have an attitude for doing their job. read more

this place. The people are super friendly and helpful. Usually go tot he Hollister one.

Trash excuse for a movie theater and I've been to platinum theaters. Weird policies about being over 25 to take minors to R movies. Rude workers and the worker had nothing better to do so she stood in our theater the whole time just staring at everyone making sure they weren't on their phone. Felt like we were getting babysat. If that is her job title she is getting extremely underpaid. Spent money to come here to see a movie I was excited about and the atmosphere along with the workers made this a terrible experience. Wait for it to come to DVD. Can't see myself ever returning to this establishment. read more

If I could give this 0 stars I would. I had a terrible experience here they were being VERY RUDE and difficult with their policies regarding R rated movies. They make you feel stupid and have the managers watch over you while you're there. The workers were also very rude. Specifically one worker named Dominic and his friend were talking pointing and laughing at me when taking my ticket. Then Dominic rolled his eyes when serving my drink. Terrible service don't go here! read more

With 10 screens and reasonable ticket prices I am very happy with this theater. Even the refreshments are a better deal than large city theaters. The best deal is the large popcorn for $6 with one free refill and one large drink for $4. Get boxes and share with the family. Hot dogs are $4 and hot soft pretzels are $2.50. Tuesday bargain nights. read more

This is my go to movie theater since it's pretty much the only one in Hollister. They always have the top box office movies, and every Wednesday they have their cinematic art series. Every Tuesday is 5 dollar bargain movie day! Bargain Tuesday only applies to certain movies, but if you wait a couple weeks after its been out it usually applies. They have a large selection of snacks, and I love their gourmet coffee. I like how they usually have some healthy snacks to choose from like nuts or apple slices. This movie theater is a lot cheaper than those in neighboring towns, and it's just as nice!! read more

They have the BEST popcorn ever!! I'm not a fan of AMC or CineLux popcorn because it tastes like microwave popcorn. They also have seasoning for your popcorn out on the counter for free!! ( other movie theaters make you pay) AND they give you free cardboard trays so you can easily share popcorn! You can tell they value their customers :) read more

This movie theater is definitely just as comparable to other movie theaters. It may not be as big or as grand but it's good for the size of this town. $5 Tuesdays is a great, affordable deal and it applies for the movies that have been out for a couple of weeks. Definitely take advantage of buying a large popcorn and a large drink because it comes with a free one time refill on the day of purchase. read more

Have always enjoyed going here to see the latest films. Nearly always a crowd on weekends, but that is to be expected. The saver card is good to have; if you don't have one, ask for one the next time you go. Every 50 points, you can get a free soda, a free small popcorn and a free ticket. The kids summer movie series is worth checking out, even if you don't have children. All ages are admitted for $1. I loved seeing "Ghostbusters" as one of the kids' movies in summer 2010. It was fun seeing on the big screen again after all these years. I always make sure to get to showings before 6PM to get the matinee prices. The cinema art series always has some hit indie film you'd normally have to go out of town for. I was glad when "An Education" and "Precious" came to town as I'd waited months to see those! Overall, I always have a good time when coming to Premiere for movies. read more

See all

Local movie theater dive is awesome and I do not like being interrupted during my movie with beeping phones, loud talkative audience. My nerves can only take so much. However, I do love the feel of a plush home like feel movie experience. The summer extravaganza's are amazing. Summer (reruns) movies are less than $5.00 for kids. I can take up to 8 (2 adults and 6 kids) for $40 USD. Wow! Also, the movie theater has a type of Taco Tuesday deal. The deal is $5.00 entrance for all movies. Wow what a deal. The best is yet to come. After the movie, we can take our movie ticket stub and enjoy Quizno's for a 10% of all food. All in all the movie experience is incredible, relaxing, enjoyable, and above all FAMILY! ps wowweeeeeee. Anybody interrupts, sends SMS, or has lighted mobile phones which disrupt my experience, they are booted. yeah. read more

We were in town for a soccer tournament with five hours to kill between our first and second games and no opportunity to go home since we live almost two hours away so we went to the movies! Premiere Cinemas was a nice place to pass the time and keep warm in the unseasonably blustery June weather. The theater was small but clean and comfortable. The staff was OK --- not friendly but OK. One thing I really liked that I haven't seen at other movie theater snack bars was the assortment of popcorn seasoning. From sea salt and vinegar to jalapeno cheddar, there was something in the seasoning sampler bar for every preference. It was awesome!! read more

No lines, friendly staff, clean theater, seats really close together no wiggle room. Parking is just ok don't bring a big vehicle cause its kinda tight fitting read more

Premiere Cinemas - A pic from inside 1 of the theater rooms - Cinema Near Me - Hollister, California

I. Like the movies so fun everyone is nice . All the workers are good. At keeping the place clean. Some people are messy, but the staff is good at picking up after them. I wish people were more considerate . I love the popcorn and the slushy drinks . The pretzels are ok . I with they had the kind like the ones at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk read more

The theater needs a major overhaul. Reserved seating and recliners. Barely go here anymore. Century 14 Northridge Mall in Salinas is hands down better than Hollister. read more

So yeah this movie theater might not have all the good indie or underground or Sundance Film Selections you could see in Santa Cruz or San Francisco but truth be told I only come here maybe twice a year and that lady who chapped my ass with her bad review apparently isn't on yelp anymore. But yeah the price is right and the location rocks and the AC works so even if they don't have a great movie selection I fall back on Netflix for that so there still getting 5 stars from me. read more

Great cinema or a small town. Many times I've gone and been the only one in the place. And they have a butter station for your popcorn, doesnt get much better than that. read more

They always have new movies and warm popcorn. The seats are ok... I mean if you're in hollister and you want to watch a new movie, on the big screen, it's worth it. I've seen a few movies here. read more

Because who doesn't love movies on a rainy day. Premiere Cinemas is always clean, and the workers are very friendly. The only bad thing is that it fills up quicky, and it's not that big. I tend to go a week after a movie is released so I can have a few seating options. I love that they have changing stations and family bathrooms as well. read more
