Camelot

The Camelot is close to my home so it’s our go to place. It’s always clean and the employees are always nice and polite.

First, the ONLY THX theater in the Upstate. That one comment should get people to come. The main screen is what a movie theater used to look like. The smaller ones are okay. Family run, so a very small staff. About half price of the Regal Theaters locally. Major issues is that the restrooms next to be checked more often because they always seem to be a mess.

This is an older theater, and they don’t seem to have any intentions of updating it. Even the music they play in the ceiling is old school. BUT that’s okay! Being an ‘80s kid, I kind of dig it.
The movies are current. The bathrooms are old and dingy. Parking is small.
All in all, a good place to go.
BEST PART: They only play five minutes of previews (unlike some of the bigger theaters that will play upwards of 20 minute of previews).

This theater is quiet and friendly! Sweet costumer service and pretty decent movie selections. It is small, so they don’t always have every movie you want. Our church has been meeting in this theater ever sunday morning for two years now because we don’t have a building to meet in. They have worked very well with us. Very pleased with this theater.

Great Small Time Theatre! Popcorn was fresh, presentation was good and aside from an incident with an attitudinal concessionist (manager, Andrew, stepped in and remedied the situation with integrity and professionalism) it was a very good movie viewing experience.

Very nice friendly hometown theater. I am so glad I found this place. Well priced, nice seating and I dont have to sit through a thousand previews before the movie starts. Have returned several times.

This theatre is okay. The service is usually good. But the seating is not the most comfortable and could use some updating. Overall, this place could use a remodel. That being said, I’m really glad they are serving Greenville. And I will continue to go to this theatre.

Excellent service, the place was super clean. Definitely the best place to catch a show in Greenville that we have found.

Small local theatre. I liked it and the service was good. Theatre was clean.

Love Camelot! Been going here since the 1980’s! It’s great because you don’t have the crowds of Cherrydale & you don’t have the crowds & traffic of Woodruff Rd! Plus it’s locally owned. If taking children pick up a booster seat for them upon entering the theater. Did I mention no crowds? My favorite part!

Camelot is the main movie theater I frequent in Greenville. It is much less crowded than others. It has a large theater with a digital projector that is awesome for 3D movies, as well as several smaller screens. There is usually plenty of seating even for blockbuster movies, and the theaters are relatively clean. Concessions are not as extensive as at some other theaters, which is fine with me since I never buy taquitos or lattes at the movies anyway. The candy selection is good, different from other places. A new shopping center has opened accross the street in the last few years, so there are some new dining options in the area to check out. Love Camelot!

I really like this movie theater. It’s smaller and less crowded than most new theaters and is totally old school with just your basic popcorn and candy concession stand. My husband and I saw Eclipse (Edward, definitely!) at the Camelot just the other night and agreed that we have found our neighborhood «date» spot.

Whenever I want to go to a movie, this is the first place whose movie times I reference. That’s because it’s the last theater remaining of the half dozen or so that used to be spread around greater Greenville before Hollywood and Cherrydale destroyed them all in a fit of corporate amalgamation and retrenchment. (Now, Camelot and Hollywood are owned by the same corporation, which begs the question of when Regal or Consolidated, or whatever it is now, will decide having two cinemas is duplicative, demolish them both and build a 45-​screen monstrosity on the outskirts of Simpsonville. I’m only partly being facetious about that.)
Camelot is locally owned and exists in the semi-​degraded center of what was Greenville’s commercial district in the late 1970s. It’s probably the only surviving commercial enterprise in what used to be the Macalister Square shopping center. That affects its quality in a number of ways. First, it’s not really close to any good restaurants or other forms of entertainment that you can find on Woodruff or near Cherrydale. It’s also relatively small, with seven screens, although one of them is a massive digital protection theater which opened to great fanfare with Star Wars Episode III in 2005. But parking is always easy to get, and it’s not too far from downtown Greenville via Laurens Road.
That being said, it has a lot of drawbacks. At any given moment there’s usually only one ticket booth open, while three or four people work the concessions stand. That results, on Fridays and Saturdays or holidays, in a huge line of customers that stretches out into the parking lot, subject to the elements. Other than the largest screen, most of the theaters are relatively small, and not all the seating is stadium-​style.
But! Overall the experience is better than what you’re going to get in Hollywood or Cherrydale, because you won’t be swamped by a sea of teenage kids screaming at each other, your theater isn’t likely to be terribly crowded, and you don’t have to go anywhere near Woodruff Road to see a movie! The tickets are also a little cheaper, which is a boon given the price these days to see a movie. If you live in Greenville proper than this is the place to go if you want to catch whatever big movie is coming out this weekend.
