We go to the Regal in Merced when we want to go out to the movies. The place is huge with a ton of theaters, including an IMAX venue. The place is pretty busy, but the staff does a pretty fair job keeping it clean and picked up. The theaters are spacious the seating is comfortable, and the sound system is good. We enjoy our visits a lot, and recommend the place. read more

This is my first time me and my family have been to this theater. It was nice spacious, clean, and the staff was very friendly. We went earlier in the day to see the SpongeBob movie and surprisingly they had a popcorn bucket bundle for that SpongeBob movie for around $22 which was a steal because just a dollar or two less we could've got a small popcorn and one soda. The bundle came with the SpongeBob collectible popcorn tin and 2 collectible cups. So I will return. The only thing I was disappointed in was the kettle corn was burnt and she didn't tell me that she just gave it to me and I should've tasted it before I went back to my seat but other than that, it was a great experience. read more

Love the Hot Cheetos Popcorn. Always out of the Hot Cheetos Popcorn. Spoke to the manager. Yada yada, it's a popular item so they've never figured out how to meet demand after months... Concessions is how a theater makes money. Get competent managers. No attempt to make customer whole. Just false advertising. I like the iMax so I give 1 star. Am I not a gracious god? Will update review more positively when they figure out how to run a business and fix the hot cheeto crisis. read more

Glad to go see a movie, I wish there was more show times for my particular film. Over all good movie and time

New imax theater is next level! Automated chairs that bring your feet up, swing out table and soft leather... even enough space to walk by if someone is fully reclined. Sound system is ridiculous and a beautiful new theater without fluorescent lights over head Definitely a win for Merced! read more

Love it here. Haven't been since IMAX theatres went in. We don't have much at all in Merdead County so it's real nice to have this(still)

I have an all-access unlimited subscription & see 2-5 films per week, with 10% off concessions, new better, more versatile rewards for accumulating points to redeem. A lot of very pricey concessions and souvenirs--gimmicks...to make money! But the laid-back & comfortable atmosphere lends itself conducively to 12+ hour movie Fridays--especially in our IMAX/LIE-MAX world's official smallest IMAX! But still just as expensive as larger premium formats/screens! Value films in summer & every Tuesday, and the satisfaction of knowing you're seeing the films as they are intended to be seen! read more

The new IMAX must be experienced amazing sound super HD SCREEN (laser) and the seats have reclining and wider than normal seats they feel like (business class airplane seats ) not as great as modesto reclining regal seats but much better than the old seats :) also the new room smell is cool and the entrance is awesome !! read more

I've been to Regal theatre many times, it's not the most luxurious theater, but it has everything you need, including free refills on large soda and popcorn. The seat don't recline, which is disappointing, since most decent theaters nowadays have nicer seats. read more

If you don't mind high prices and watching 35 minutes of previews then this is the place for you. Recently went to watch the new Jurassic Park movie. Was to start at 3:05 PM but we all know you have to sit through 10-15 minutes of previews. Nope not at Merced Regal. They said, Hold my beer and watch 35 minutes of previews. THIRTY FN MINUTES OF PREVIEWS!!! That is BS. If this is how they are going to continue we will just wait for the new movies to stream and save ourselves $35 and losing 35 minutes of our lives we will never get back. read more

Great location in the downtown area, friendly service and Regal has a lot of perks for members!

Watched - Dr. Strange in the multiverse of madness SEATING == (3/5) This theater still have fold down chairs which is a classic but most modern theater for about the same price has sofa like seats. I much rather go to one near my area. TICKETS == (5/5) There were a bunch of showings for the new hit movie so we can be very flexible with our times to go watch. VIBES == (3/5) It has everything you need in a theater but the game area is a bit small and I feel like half of the popcorn area is unused. read more

What can you say about the only theater in Merced now. It's still the best theater. It's clean and it's got plenty of seats. Of course the things we wish we can always change are the prices because they're really outrageous and hopefully they'll upgrade to what the bay area has and get some more comfortable seats. Even when the other theaters were in town this is still the best one to come to so, happy over all. read more

It's a fine middle of the road theater. Seats aren't the best around, but they'll do if you're not not willing to go out of town. Parking can be rough. Concessions are, of course, overpriced. However, staff is always helpful and pleasant. The Regal Corporation is also very good about compensation if something is wrong with your screening. This place could use an overhaul, for sure, but movies are in a weird place right now and the future is uncertain read more

We love coming here because customer service is always really good, restrooms are usually cleaned and in the summer the AC works and in the winter the heater is great. However, the seat cushions need to be cleaned! I'm tired of leaving the theater with stains on my clothing from dirty seats. With assigned seating we don't have the option of just switching seats anymore. So PLEASE clean your seats!!! These pictures were taken during the first week of June 2023. read more

Escape to Regal Hollywood Merced for a lovely evening out on the town, or if the movie takes you, to the fictional realm of visionaries. Eric who assisted my partner and I at concession apprised us we could redeem one refill on our items throughout the showing. When I returned to the counter for a refill later, Eric stopped his work in the lobby to promptly assist me from behind the counter. Eric's service was so swift that I was able to return promptly to my film showing without missing a beat! My kudos go out to Eric for his prompt service, kind demeanor, and popcorn-poppin' expertise. I can't wait to visit again. read more

I sat through 30 straight minutes of ads just to get my ears blown out by trash tier audio at an absurdly high volume. Save your money, watch your movies at home. read more

I really enjoyed this little movie theater! I watched both barbie and oppenheimer back to back and never felt unsafe. The food can be pricey but thats a movie theater after all. The bathrooms are surprisingly clean and have lots of stalls. Staff are young so they are very laid back! Enjoyed my visit! read more

Yesterday i went in to take my kids to watch inside out 2 and my kids loved the new movie . We were helped by this lovely young lady named esmeralda. Great service such a friendly attitude and very helpful. Thank you regal . read more

This movie theatre is way out of league for Merced. It is surprisingly big, clean, and new looking inside. This is definitely nicer than the other theatre next to Merced Mall. Employees are all friendly. Seats are pretty standard. They recline a little bit and your arm rests have large cup holders and these arm rests can swivel up and down. The cinema rooms are really clean inside. Bathrooms are pretty clean too. We shall return. read more

This is a nice movie theater for the area, they have plenty of viewing rooms for screening multiple films but in comparison with other movie theater companies, they are fairly outdated with acoustics, resolution and atmosphere. This particular theater does not offer any high end surround sound, IMAX experience, recliner seats or in house alcohol sales. Despite being behind with the times, this theater still manages to supply guests with all the amenities common to most theaters. They offer a full snack bar with self service "butter" station, arcade area and online reservation and sales capabilities. read more

Good sound system the staff are always nice but the women's bathrooms are beyond disgusting!!! Please get the plumbing fixed. I shouldn't be walking through water to get to the stalls!!!! read more

I'm a bit concerned about the food safety at this location. Revived a large popcorn and it had random pieces of hot Cheetos and flavored pieces of popcorn in it. How would other food items end up in the popcorn? I'm concerned they're recycling old popcorn left behind... disgusting. Be wary of the food safety protocol at this location. read more

When we had went it was one of the last showings. Employees weren't very welcoming or friendly. We did have to purchase our tickets at the concession stand. It has a few arcade type games in the lobby area. Down the theatre hall there is some candy machines not much . We were inside theatre 1 . I've never noticed how dirty the seats were until this evening and yeah pretty gross seats just be sure to find ones that are clean. And like any other theatre the prices for food and snacks are outrageous. Being Merced not much more to say.. read more

Regal Hollywood - Merced - Be careful where you sit some seats are super gross . - Cinema Near Me - Merced, California

Im sure it's just a coincidence that I keep getting put in the same auditorium, but auditorium 5 is absolutely terrible. I've watch Thor: Love and Thunder, Creed 3, and just recently The Machine all in this auditorium, and every time the projector is so dark. It is very hard to view dark scenes or to tell at all in general what is going on in some scenes. Not sure if staff, or management can fix this problem about the darkness of the projection. Also the seats armrest are torn, some of the plastic is torn of the chairs, just very poorly cared for. However the popcorn was very good, although it would be nice to get my popcorn layered with butter like the Regal in Turlock practices. My advice, go to the Regal in Turlock. I understand it's almost a 30 minute drive, but it seems like the problem with the darkness with the projection will never be fixed. This theater is in desperate need of a renovation. read more

They wouldn't let my brother in because he's not 18 into an R rated movie despite the fact that I'm an adult. Turlock Regal never did this when we went to go watch Scream 6. Still has the audacity to ask if he has a University ID. Uh I just said he's 15 what do you think? read more

Regal 13 is decent. After 8 visits here, I feel the following: It's in a good location and conveniently close to parking. The staff are all friendly and polite--if I've ever had issues, they were on it. One time they left the lights on in the theater and nobody could see the previews. It was funny, but they fixed it right away when a woman reported it to an employee. The bathrooms are great! They are clean and don't smell like a 100 cattle dairy farm. They must clean them constantly, I don't know, but they are always well maintained. Kudos to R13 for this, it's hard to find a theater with nice bathrooms. One of the stars they get is solely for their care of their restroom facilities. The theaters are always clean. Movies start on time, and they still have the nice roomy stadium seating that tall people can comfortably fit in. That all said: Buy tickets ahead and skip the box office and buy tickets online. The last couple of movies I went to see, there were programming issues and my movies kept ringing up at the 3D price for a regular movie. Poor employee and manager had to fix that nonsense. Not their fault, but it's an issue if it keeps happening. Personally, I stopped buying their concessions because the 5 times I have bought popcorn here, it has been just above cold. Not warm, not hot like other theaters--and I don't butter and salt my popcorn. Straight out of the bucket "fresh" and lukewarm. Yuck! I don't know how they manage to mess up the most expensive popcorn I can buy within an hour's drive, but they do. $9 for a large tub (with one free refill). No thank you. Maybe there's a time of day where the popcorn is hot or warm, but I gave it 5 tries (including right when the doors opened for service,) and didn't find it. The other concessions are your basic fare. Bagged Tostitos and cheese dip instead of nachos; candy, water, soda. The usual suspects. If you're into all that, go for it. I go here to see a movie only. If I want a full cinema experience with snacks and fancy seats, I go somewhere else. read more

I loved this theater! Right downtown on Main Street, with ample free parking immediately adjacent to the building. Reasonable prices, full snack bar with all the usual fare, but also bacon-wrapped hotdogs. read more

They have had latex balloons in their lobby which are hidden from view. It is extremely dangerous for people with latex allergies

Hate this theater on the arm rests every other one is missing the padding then you get nothing but people who like to talk during movies and be loud they don't even use the box office anymore for people to buy tickets you go inside to the concession stand to buy them the seats are uncomfortable as all hell they seriously need to remodel this place I don't even bother with this theater anymore I only go to the UA regency by the mall plus less people read more

The popcorn must be asked to be served fresh instead of it being fresh automatically. Another complaint is that if you are a guy holding a bag of any sorts, laptop bag, whatever, these guys go through it for some reason but not my Girlfriend's purse, really? This is the first theatre that I know of that does this, what's next? patting me down? I'm paying over $40 for an experience and this is what I bought? Never again... read more

I've been meaning to review this place but haven't for some reason. We've visited over 3 dozen times in the last 2 years. Seems we have plenty of experiences to base this review off of. This past visit to see 50 Shades Freed was not the best visit. Too many people were talking and wouldn't shut up. We couldn't hear some of the movie because of the whispering in it & people laughing and joking. The employee who comes in with the lighted wand didn't do a darn thing. I guess it's too much to ask Regal to hire people who have the ability to tell others to be quiet. I don't have a problem doing this but it might turn ugly. :-P Bathrooms are usually really clean for a busy theater. I'm surprised but thankful after a long movie and drinking lots of fluids. Prices are as ridiculous as ever but you kinda expect that anywhere you go. Just use your Regal Rewards card so you can get credit towards a free ticket later. As for the employees, they're robots. Ask a question - you get the same answer. Ask for clarification- they repeat the first answer. Customer service at the concession stand seems to be a bit better than at the ticket booth. I'm there for movie and experience with friends & family - sometimes you just have to overlook stupidity. Not a bad theater overall - but would be 100% better if the large comfy captain's seats were available. This is Merdead we're talking about - oh sorry - Merced. read more

My and my girlfriend started come every weekend so far we watched Aquaman, The Mule , Green book, Escape Room, Glass going to The Upside next. The first front row seats are really uncomfortable I suggest going a lil early to get good seats. The popcorn is a lil on the salty side the nachos are not all that either. Just save your money and get a pizza at the place next door . read more

Terrible service. Didn't let me buy my ticket to Rogue One because I missed the box office by 5 minutes, even though I begged and pleaded and explained that I drove an hour in heavy rain to see my movie (which had just started 20 minutes ago, so I probably just missed the trailers). I was willing to pay in cash and even purchase concessions, but some people have no sympathy for their fellow human beings. I used to work at a prestigious movie theater in LA and this kind of thing would never fly there. Never coming here again, never taking my family here. This is why people get home theater systems. I'd rather go the extra hour to Fresno. Peace out. read more

just like most regal It was okay customer service over priced good popcorn and a packed theater seats were decently comfy I would go again read more

I went today with my friend sister and her boyfriend. As soon as we enter me and my friend go to the bathroom because she was not feeling well but we notice a white lady with purple hair staring at us. We then go to buy our tickets as my sister and her boyfriend already bought theirs. As we are buying our tickets the same white lady with purple hair whispers something to the guy I am buying the tickets from which makes me very uncomfortable. Before the movie I meet up with my sister in the hallway and she is right there staring at us. During the trailers my friend goes to the bathroom because she does not feel well and she was standing there watching her. I tell her that we should just leave as I feel uncomfortable and profiled. We all leave and as my sister goes to get our money back they guy at the counter tells us that we can not get a refund because they were trying to sneak us in another movie and proceeded to call her a liar and not give us our money back. To me I felt racially profiled as a person of color and she made me feel extremely uncomfortable. And the popcorn was gross and burned my throat! read more

Of the Two Theaters in Merced the Hollywood Theater on Main Street is better in every sense aside from the Popcorn. The Theater is maintained much better along with it being newer and having a more desirable location. It's your typical movie theater in terms of pricing, but what I really like about this place is that if you go to an older movie and nobody is in it the arm rests move up and down so you can take up two seats and align yourself perfect with the center of the screen,lol. Anyway, this theater always has the better variety of films to choose from and a more friendly staff. 4 of 5 stars. read more

In terms of selections for movie theaters in the immediate Merced area, this would be the one to go to if you want to catch a flick. The catch is, Mainplace Theater and the UA Theater split movies based on genre. So if you saw "The Dark Knight" at Mainplace, that means youd've had to have watched "Iron Man" at the UA Theater, which is pretty jank. The thing that I liked the most about this theater is that it's right in the middle of the downtown area. If you are a UC student, the E-line will drop you off right here from campus on Cat Tracks. All in all, it's your pretty standard movie theater. Nothing spectacular. It does get pretty crowded on a Saturday night though. read more

I used to go to the movies on a regular basis, but haven't cared much for the movies available lately. Crime, loud music are not for me. My daughter texted me from LA area and said I had to go see "Beautifully Broken" a Christian based movie. Well, I went with friends on Sunday. Then I went again Monday with my daughter-in-Law. The movie is amazing and I would highly recommend the whole world see it. True story and the lives of 3 world apart families and how God brought them together. Since reading the book "When God Winks at You" and applying that belief in my life I find God Winks everywhere, EVERYWHERE. That's what this movie is about. God's path for each of us to follow. The other thing I noticed at the theatre, there are at least 3 more Christian movies coming soon. Looks like I will be going to the movies regularly. Also a couple of great kid movies coming up. "Little Foot" and a new "Grinch" movie. Can't wait. read more
