I live in town so I mainly have 2 theaters to choose from: Consolidated Ward or Regal Dole Cannery. The former is cleaner and newer but Regal has more foreign movie options so I have been here quite often recently! This Regal is quite dated and some theaters smelled musty, you know like the smell inside a really old house. Cleanliness is acceptable at least I don't mind using their bathrooms. And they have caramel popcorn! That's a plus! And the best part is the staff. They were very friendly and welcoming! Make sure you stamp your parking ticket on your way out. Free parking with validated tickets. read more

I didn't know what to expect but this was my first 4DX experience and I actually flew out of my seat. I was laughing my ass off LOL 100% would do again. Props to Regal for offering the 4DX option and for playing Chainsawman. If we're talking cinema experience they truly amped up the sensitivity and the seats felt like I was on a rollercoaster at Universal Studios. The water was also sprayed in my face as well as feeling myself get punched during the action scenes as well as twirled. This was a ton of fun LOL read more

Let me start by stating that this is not my favorite venue for watching a movie ... Here are my pros and cons ... Pros: 1) It's close to my office (downtown) so I can take in a movie after work. 2) There is plenty of parking ... Validate your ticket upon entry and parking is free. 3)The food at the concession area is good (enough for me). Cons: 1) The entrance to the parking lot has two gates. The one on the right forces you to veer to the left after entry. If you're not careful, you can curb your left rear wheel on the curbing. Don't ask how I know ... 2) The seats don't have a moveable table so eating can be problematic. The cup holder is on the left, which strikes me as strange as most people are right-handed. 3) Concession prices are high ... My 3-piece chicken tender meal and medium drink cost almost $25, more than the price of my ticket to see Enhypen's Walk the Line Summer Edition movie ($22, online). The surprises: 1) The staff are nice and friendly. This is not true at many theaters I frequent. 2) The Screen X feature was pretty good; not as good as IMAX, but better than the normal screen. What I wished for: 1) Alcoholic beverages (like at Ward Theaters). Sorry, no pics. read more

Haven't been at the Regal Theater in a while due to traveling and so much on television to watch. I was surprised they really cleaned up the area and the Theater and the no longer post the name of shows on the bulletin board, so everyone can see what is playing at all the other rooms and even the individual theaters they don't put the name of what is playing inside instead they have different items they sell from the snack bar listed. It was pretty empty, not like before the huge crowd's waiting and walking to check out different movies playing at the other theater! Great idea! Restroom was clean, lots of parking in the parking structure. read more

My recent visit to Dole theaters was not what I expected. I went during a weekday and the theater itself was empty which I loved. What I didn't like was the cleanliness of the lobby area, snack area, and theater. There was popcorn all over the ground in the lobby/food area. It looked and felt dirty. Just fyi- they have the smaller size hot dogs it's not the big movie hot dogs. The theater was also dirty. I didn't want to sit down. I had to use the bathroom when the movie was done but to be honest I held it just because I wanted to get out of the theater. I also didn't want to take the chance that the bathroom wasn't clean either. I won't be going back. read more

Theater screens are great and I appreciate that dole always has indie movies, i just wish they had more staff working concessions, especially during movie premieres! But all in all great experiences, we're regal unlimited members and have really enjoyed it read more

This Regal location wasn't too bad. The facility was pretty clean. It didn't have any funky smells or sticky floors. The employee working the ticket table was a bit lazy. She only sat there and was kind of pushy and not friendly. This employee didn't ask but told me to put my phone down on the table so she can scan my QR code tickets. She was rather rude in my opinion. The service at the food and beverage desk was pretty good. The line went by at a pretty good pace. The theater we sat in was clean and I didn't see debris on the floor and it wasn't sticky either. They need to upgrade the seats in all of the theaters. Some theaters like ours didn't have the electronic adjustable seats. read more

Wow! 1-8-25: so impressed by the condition of the theater we are in today to watch Harbin. The walls are a lavender plum color with Hawaiian motif and looks well done for acoustics Seats look newly upholstered, just can't recline. The theater lights were on brightly lit so you can easily find your seats without your phone flashlight. Good to be in a maintained theater chair. I could hear the AC just turn off must be on automatic setting. Glad I have a light sweater. read more

Unstoppable... Much needed break and what better than to see a movie, and thank you Nadine C for the invite for the Unstoppable screening at Regal Dole Canner, it's not the usual place that I frequent though Iwilei is a convenient location along with a whopping 4 hours of free parking with validation is more than enough time to watch any movie but with all that additional time it's a shame that there isn't much other restaurants or cafe nearby. It seems like the theaters are nice and clean but it does show how date it is in comparison to other locations as I struggled to hold my belongings without a table to put my popcorn and other items, along with the restroom stalls each had it's own issues making just one stall having a complete usable set lol! Though with promotions like discounted tickets on Tuesday for loyalty members are hard to resist filling your popcorn with the buttery goodness yourself are items that probably makes this place favorable the staff are nice and friendly and to enjoy a movie is a fun and relaxing vibe that brings folks together to talk about it all and what's better than that. Thank you! read more

Today decided to catch a movie Gladiator#2 at the Regal Dole Cannery . Been awhile at this particular theater for one thing not all their theaters have leather recliner chairs . Another look at their boxes so small you'll need 3-4 boxes just to fit a medium popcorn omg. Before I could remember they had big square boxes maybe they ran out. Also look at my bill on the screen it's so expensive pretty soon no one can afford to go to the movies lol . The only positive thing about this theater has lots of free ample parking with validation. This theater is a well overdue renovation. read more

We bought our tickets for Run Seok Jin online at Fandango. When we paid for tickets, fandango will email the tickets with QR code and text tickets with QR code. My friend was able to have Regal employee scan her ticket that I texted her. Movie was at theater 9 which didn't have name of movie listed. Theater was packed with BTS Army with army Lightstick and some who gave freebies. Our seats were at row K. It was awesome to see Kim Seokjin on the screen at live concert from Amsterdam. He is an awesome singer and entertainer. read more

Regal Dole Cannery - movie listing inside front entrance on right - Cinema Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Haven't been to a movie theater in a long time but the ones here are pretty clean. The bathrooms were extremely clean. The people working here was super nice. I had some issues with the regal rewards but the person at the front redirected me and helped me out. No problems really affordable. Came by easy to find seats. AC was blowing super cold so you might want to bring a jacket or something. That's the pro tip. Free parking can't complain. We'll come back again read more

I love to come to Dole Regal because they have a lot of parking and very easy to access. Just make sure you stamp your parking ticket. Like many other theaters in town, you can purchase ticket in advance by using the app however, you have to pay roughy about five dollar processing fee. They also offer discount for senior citizen if you are 60 years older. I could be wrong, but I believe this theater is one of the few that still have the IMAX screen which I enjoy when I watch major blockbuster such as mission impossible that we watched tonight. read more

Some of the theaters have very poor lighting and colors. The colors are washed out and the blacks are grey. Sometimes night scenes you can't see anything at all. They need new bulbs or projectors that is calibrated. Your home tv has better picture. read more

They can improve on everything. There was just one person taking care of the front area. The bathrooms were very messy. Looked like no upkeep on it. The concession stand was very basic pizza, hotdogs, popcorn and nachos. The seating times for a very popular movie in the fancy theater was very spread out. The seats compared to other guys was something else. Parking is validated and the machine didn't even catch correctly. Would not recommend. The other guys are better read more

Regal Dole Cannery - The bathroom stall. - Cinema Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I like coming here because parking is easy- large lot and lots of spaces. Just make sure to validate your ticket at the theater because I hear the hourly amount is high. You can either get your tickets at the screens in the front or at the concession stand. Another perk is that this theater is cheaper than Consolidated and super discounted tickets on Tuesday. Food is okay-cheese burger and fries is what I usually get. It's not the best (burger is dry) but the steak fries are good The theaters themselves are older-kinda dingy without the tables. Guess they even out the lower ticket prices. The staff are pretty nice and friendly. Also Regal plays movies not shown at Consolidated and has showings of Metropolitan opera as well as off the radar movies. read more

Was assisted by a Regal Crown Club cashier /representative named "Joey" on 9/25/25 Thursday. This individual was very helpful, personable, and most respectful. He really made my day and thanked me for my patronage. Worth mentioning, he noticed that my account had a lot of credits and recommended for me to redeem some of my credits. Saved me a ton of money on this visit. A great asset to the Regal Crown Club chain. Accolades to him for his services. read more

My favorite theater! Once you go 4DX you won't want to watch movies the old way ever again. I love the special effects it offers while watching. It makes you feel like you're right in the movie. Make sure to get there early so you can eat before the show. The special effects can make it hard to eat. I wouldn't advise 4DX if you have injuries or get motion sickness. I always get my tickets online. This location has a parking garage. You can take your parking ticket inside to get stamped for free parking. The theater is not usually packed. The concession stand is quick. They have all the snacks and food options. I brought the refillable bucket and cup. Which has an expiration date on it. The date is the last day of the year you purchased it. It also states they have the right to refuse refilling the buckets due to cleanliness. Go take your family, they will love it! read more

It's been awhile since I've come to see a movie at this theater. The last time I came, the chairs were old and the place felt and looked old and dated. So I was surprised to see that this theater appears to have been updated and renovated. The theater room I sat in had new seats. Not the recliner type, but nevertheless, definitely not old or chafed seats. A welcomed surprise. The screen and wall decor appear updated as well. I will be back to this Regal theater again very soon. read more

Theater number nine has no recliner chairs and emails like cat piss. Bothe the butter dispensers are out of butter.

This theater smells like mold and body odor. Absolutely awful. I'm so grossed out. Plus the film I'm watching is in old ass seats. Boo!!! Won't return for sure. The stink is unacceptable. read more

I pre-bought popcorn at the kiosk only to find out that I had to wait in the long freakin line anyways. Simple fix, someone who pre purchase their food should just be able to pick it up. Not have to wait in line anyways. Stupid process, fix it, make it convenient. By the way, I had 20+ minutes in line because only 3 counters were open on a Friday night open to write this review... read more

I went to watch the mystery movie today in the auditorium 9 and I must say as you walk in, it really stunk. It smelt like mildew . If it wasn't for the JP movie that I wanted to watch , I would have left. The entire auditorium smelt bad. It just over all felt dirty as well. I never smelt a movie theater smell like this before.... Gave two stars since the people were nice and the bathroom was decent . read more

This was a quick movie. Less than 2 hours. Straight to the point and pretty funny. Btw, I wouldn't recommend any CHILDREN attending this movie or if your a parent with specific morals, DONT WATCH IT! It more for adults. And even SOME ADULTS seemed offended on the content in this movie. We sat next to a family of 4. A mother with her 3 older kids. They looked about 14-17 years old. Give or take 2 years. But the point is... I was sitting by the son and HE was super uncomfortable in some scenes. He was kind of covering his ears and groaning like... "OH MY GOD I can't believe I'm watching this with my mom sitting next to me" attitude. Then he also rubbed his head like he wanted to leave or crawl into a hole somewhere and hide. So, I wouldn't recommend parents taking their kids, nor would I recommend any teens watching this movie with your parents either. Not unless your one of those families who aren't ashamed of being up front, honest & open about everything with each other, then maybe you have a shot! It was short & basic but it had a lot... and I mean A LOT of vulgar, provocative, immoral & improper sexual content. Only thing is... the movie is based on DOGS and NOT HUMANS. YET, its what us humans would think of how a dog would react in certain situations. The honesty of their thoughts rather than them behaving like their owners or looking like them. If humans could understand dogs, this is the movie that give these canines a voice. I guess its MORE OF AN EXPLICIT VERSION OF THE CARTOON MOVIE PETS. However, my hubby & I both had a good time & as I said before... I'm glad my teens didn't come along. This wouldn't be a movie I'd suggest them watching. thanks to allison @ meetup & to regal & gofobo for the free tickets! I think I saw aunty Gail but I wasn't too sure if it was her or not. But if was, HI AUNTY!!! Hope you enjoyed the movie. Anywho, everyone enjoy and have good night! read more

My kids have extracurriculars nearby Dole Cannery so I decided to give the Regal Unlimited offer a try (aka for about $23 / month I can see as many movies as I want in a standard theater for free and all upgrades (imax, etc.) are discounted. I've gotten friendly with many of the workers and really wanted to give this place a nice rating because they are extremely nice. But this theater is sooooo bad. On the first world problems front, they don't have seats that recline or tray tables. While I rolled my eyes at my Gen Alpha kids that complained about this fact, telling them stories about "when I was your age... all movie theaters were like this...", it really is surprising as I don't know any other theater on Oahu that hasn't switched over. Just looking at the Regal app shows that the other Regal theaters on the island have reclinable seats. My second complaint is the food. Or lack thereof. I went to the movies on a Friday evening at 6:30 PM and so many items were sold out already. My great idea of dinner at the movies ended up being popcorn and soda. Third, the previews. Now you may argue that previews shouldn't relate to the theater but I beg to differ.... Because after literally timing how long previews were here versus Consolidated at Kahala Mall... the previews on average at Regal Cinemas last ~40 minutes. In comparison, at Consolidated in Kahala, I just sat through 10 minutes of previews. Case in point, I am in the theater right now writing this review, the movies should have started 20 minutes ago and the lights are still on for the previews. Lastly, and this one should probably be #1, but there is NO AC in the movie theater I'm currently in. I'd be furious if I had actually shelled out money for this movie or had actually made plans to see a movie (versus just looking for something to do for 90 minutes before I have to walk out and pick up my daughter from her activity). Others certainly feel the same way I do as I have the theater all to myself since everyone else just turned around and walked out the second they realized the AC was off. read more

Came to watch the 7pm showing of Captain America. It's now 7:42pm & the screen is still blank. My friend went to ask twice, and the second person told her "Wow, I'll check" & went into another theater. Just now the 2nd person came to check on us. We asked for them to just start the movie w/o the previews. But, no... got the previews & the ads for snacks & the theater. So annoying. At least the popcorn was good. Update: Right after the movie started someone came & told us there was a problem with the projector. Not sure why they couldn't have come & told us that during the hour we were looking at a blank screen screen. But in the end we were given free movie passes for the inconvenience. read more

a night at the cinema..... I recently ventured to this theatre (my first time since before the pandemic) to watch a showing of "Wonka". Admittedly, this was not my first time at movie theatre since the onset of the pandemic, but I was surprised at the changes/updates at this location. NOTES 1. For those that are unaware, parking is available in the garage for this complex (directly above the theatre). Visitor parking begins on level 3, but please be aware of "reserved" stalls that are marked. Don't forget to obtain parking validation at the theatre, or you'll be responsible for a hefty parking fee (depending on the length of your movie). 2. Don't forget to bring your regal rewards card or download the regal app to accumulate reward points. I visited this theatre on the last Saturday of January 2024. I honestly expected more people/crowds, and was definitely surprised at how empty the parking garage was for a Saturday night. When I finally got down to the ground floor, I was astounded that there was no line for the ticket booth. And rightfully so: the ticket window/booth was empty. Perhaps, this is the "new normal" at theatres in the pandemic era. MORE NOTES: 1. Tickets may be purchased at guest services, which is located to the immediate right as soon as you enter (using the right side doors). Use the touch-screen units to select your movie and seats, and also purchase your tickets. Ticket purchase is self-service, fyi. Our tickets that evening for seats in a smaller theatre without reclining seats was $15.18 (adults). 2. Parking tickets may also be validated at guests services. Use the stamp located at the same counter as ticket purchasing. Again, self-serve. Parking is free for 4 hours with validation. 3. There is an "attendant" right before entering the main lobby/theatre. He will make a small rip in your tickets to indicate its been used. 4. Thankfully there was no line at the snack bar. Condiments such butter and salt, as well as straws and napkins are located at counters before entering either wing of the theatre. 5. The seats were ok....they were much the same from before the pandemic. 6. I noticed there was A LOT of ads and movie previews. Again, perhaps this is the new normal in movie-going. 7. Upon exiting the garage, the booth at the exit was unattended and the gate was up. Lucky me. BOTTOM LINE A satisfactory experience at Regal Dole Cannery. My, my how things have changed at this theatre. I was so surprised it was not crowded at all on a Saturday night. read more

It's an okay theater. The exterior of it is very beautiful, I really like the ticket booth and the old pictures that they have next to it. I pre-purchased my tickets so all I had to do was go to one of the scanners near the entrance and scan my QR code. My partner wanted to grab water and we figured it would be a quick purchase but we ended up in line for 20 minutes because I think there was an issue with someone's order and only two registers were open. But we managed to get to our auditorium right as the movie started. The auditorium (13) had the standard non-reclining seats, which are okay with me but these ones were very itchy. For the first half of the movie I was squirming around trying to readjust because the fabric was scratching me through my shirt and it just made me really uncomfortable. But once I focused in the on the movie I was able to forget about the seats. Overall, it's not a theater that I would return to because I wasn't able to fully get comfortable while watching the movie. read more

BAD EXPERIENCE -- service and infrastructure. Came here on a Thursday mid-afternoon at 3:00pm and service was extremely slow causing us to miss first few minutes of the movie. Buying tickets: The foyers are not in service. Self service kiosks are at the guest services inside. The machines are incredibly slow at processing. If you want to gain loyalty points for your purchase, you'd need to go to the concessions line... which was incredibly long and slow due to understaffing. Purchase tickets online to avoid inconvenience. Concession: Line was so slow. There were two lines. I stood in line for ~30 minutes with 5 people ahead of me. One lady said she was in line for 45 minutes and there were still 4 people ahead of here. Poor infrastructure: -There appeared to be a flare in the middle of the projected image that stayed there throughout the movie, so there might've been issues with the lens. - The ceiling appeared to be wet. One ceiling tile collapsed during the movie. It's a good thing that they made those seats unavailable for purchase. - The big sign boards in the main hall that lists the movies for each theater are not functioning. - No air conditioning in the entrance hall. The concessions workers were sweating. read more

Regal is in serious need of renovations. Chairs are peeling and tattered. Bathrooms are dirty.

I got used to Regal Theatres when I lived in Michigan, and the Regal at the Dole Cannery has become my favorite movie theater in Honolulu! Convenient and validated parking, check! Matinee pricing on Tuesdays for half price tickets, check! Military, student, and child pricing, check! Nearby to work so I can take off an hour and attend one of those said Tuesday matinees, check! Not too crowded on work day afternoons, check! The piece de resistance is Regal's Crown Club. A frequent shopper account, your spending is tracked, credited, and eligible to redeem for a variety of goodies such as merch, food & drink concession, and tickets. Very enjoyable and a good way to take in the summer blockbusters and winter Oscar contenders! Will repeat and recommend! read more

Came here to see Alien: Romulus. I haven't been to the movies in a while and Dole Cannery Regal offers a wide variety of film viewing options the other theaters in town don't have, such as 4D and Screen X. I decided to watch the film on the Screen X (basically horizontal IMAX) as I'd never had that movie experience before. It was fine. My main gripes: Nobody at the ticket booth; you're just left kind of figuring out how to buy tickets at an electronic kiosk as nobody was there to assist in purchasing tickets. The theater I was in was super old and needs updating. The chairs were flat and uncomfortable from years of use. It seems like a waste to see a film in IMAX or Screen X or whatever only to have crappy outdated seats. It's like half the experience. Everything felt kind of worn down. Food is overpriced, and definitely less options than Consolidated theaters. I might come here again to try a film in 4D, only because it's not offered at other theaters. But if it wasn't for the fact that this theater has some viewing experiences others don't, I don't think I need to come back. I'll just stick to the newishly renovated Kahala theater. read more
