Regency Charter Theater

This is an older movie house but for $ 3 it is a great deal. They have the usual concessions with a couple extras, and naturally the prices are the same on these things as a normal theater because this is how they make money, understandably. Nice employees always friendly

Great price on Sundays. All movies, all day is a dollar and a half. That’s the same price as renting a dvd from Redbox. There is lots of parking in the parking structure. The employees are nice and they do try to keep this theater clean. There is an odd mildew smell though, like old butter popcorn. I don’t really blame that on the workers. I blame that on the seats. Pretty sure that’s where the smell is coming from. They should really doused these rooms with baking soda. The wheelchair space is on the back for my mom. She said she can see the movie screen just fine. There is also an extra seat for her friend.

Probably one of the better cheap movie theaters in Orange County. It isn’t so packed and the theater is cleaner than its competitors. Parking is easy as its next to a parking structure.

Prices here are very good, $ 3
Unless 3-​D which is $ 5 I believe
Things to know if you’re going here:
Wednesday promotion: 2 tickets popcorn and drinks are $ 10
Some seats are broken/​bad cushion
Overall great experience here. Recommend going here.

Me, my kids and husband. We love it. The ticket is sheep… Hooray .
The stuff are super. The place is clean and v nice. We’re lucky to have this cinema .I hope it will stay for ever.

I do not know how they stay in business, the movies are so cheap. For example, a Sunday mid–
afternoon showing of the excellent Paramount Pictures movie 13 Hours in Benghazi, which had hit the main theatres just a few weeks ago, was $ 1.50 per ticket on a Sunday afternoon.
No crowds, clean and comfortable enough though a little faded seats, clean toilets. Parking structure next door, free. Popcorn with unlimited add-​your-​own butter flavor.
Neighborhood is safe enough, though not affluent or fancy. Great for families on a budget.

Wonderful bargain truly!!! $ 14 for a family of four to see a 3d film and paid $ 19 for a combo of large popcorn (with free refills they redeemed two refills upon purchase), two large icees, and a large dasani water. The employees are a slightly motley group, somewhat lacking in enthusiasm, but understandably so! The theater itself is decently clean and organized.
Only downside are the weird commercials before the show. We saw a show that was 1hr and 40min. The start time was listed as 645pm. I think there was maybe 20 – 25 minutes of weirdo commercials… when I say weirdo I mean super random. Some health ads, some music video of r&b music with people I have never seen before, and then the last and weirdest one was a short film about a little boy named Sanjay before the feature… seriously spent the first 20ish minutes wondering if we went to the correct theater. My guess is they have to do all that to advertise and keep costs low? Anyways with the commercials and movie ended up getting out around 850.
Next time I’m purposely showing up late lol! Forget the commercials! Still worth the bargain though, especially if you have younger kiddos!

$ 3 movies what more is there to say…
Other deals include:
$ 10 date night Wednesday’s which include 2 tix, popcorn, & drinks
$ 1 Sunday’s ONE DOLLAR Y’ALL
If u don’t mind waiting to watch the newest blockbusters a month or so later then this is the perfect spot
Rarely crowded and employees are always friendly
I’ve never had any problems from the countless times I’ve been here
Bathrooms are also clean

Love this movie theater! It’s only $ 3 per ticket and they show movies I couldn’t catch in theater. Saw Inside Out with my friend here.
I usually don’t get snacks but they have a ton of options so just go and have a good time for a very good price.

Early Christmas!!! My wife and I went to see Star Wars opening weekend so it was very busy. We wanted to see the 7:50pm show but only front row seating so we were looking at other options. Out of nowhere, a gentleman showed and asked what we were wanting to watch. We said Star Wars. He hands over two tickets and said they were free if we wanted them. I thought it was a joke but took them any ways. I looked and they were legit. I thanked him. He turned back and gave us another voucher for free popcorn and drink. Holy ***t. It felt like this type of things didn’t happen anymore.
WELL…have faith y’all!!!
To the gentleman… you’ve made our night and thank you with all our heart!!!
So this review wasn’t really for the theater but for the goodness that still exists!!!
HappyHolidays!!!

I have 5 little brothers, so I love this place.
Anytime they look bored, & it’s too dark for the park, this is where we end up.
When you’re dealing w/​a group (small or large) it’s easy to have a good time, w/​very little coin out of your pocket.
The hotdogs are all beef, which is a plus; I usually get one for each of the crumb snatchers, along w/​popcorn & drinks, & I still leave spending only $ 40-​$ 50 on all 6 of us.
Discount theaters are usually pretty dirty, & rarely have things worth watching, but that isn’t the case here. There is usually someone sweeping as soon as a single kernel hits the ground, the bathrooms are always on point, & parking is more than plentiful.
This place is a monument in HB, everyone should stop by sometime.

I will be HEARTBROKEN if the rumors about Mariner’s Church buying this place is true. PLEASE DON’T TAKE OUR BELOVED THEATER!
I frequent this theater once per week, usually on Friday or Saturday night. I love that it has the movies that have just left the theater. I rarely pay full price for movies anymore; rather, I «wait for them to hit the $ 3 theater»!! It is a staple in our community is a wonderful place for those of us on a budget.
LONG LIVE REGENCY THEATER in HB!!!

This is the best place to get the movie theater experience for only $ 3 a ticket!
The movies are about three months older from when they show in the full price theaters.
There is air conditioning.
The staff is friendly.
There is a good selection of movies (about five different movies rated from G/​PG to R) and it changes every week.

One of my favorite cheap movie theaters: D.
$ 3 dollar per ticket.
$ 1 dollar hot dogs.
I take my kids to this movie theater often.
Is clean and comfortable and I love that they have some affordable snacks.
staff very friendly.

At this point I’ve been coming to this movie theaters for years, at least the better part of a decade and I can’t even remember how I came to find this place really. Maybe we forgot to see a movie and just happened upon it over here and have been coming here ever since.
But this budget theatre is my second favorite one to go to. And in all honesty four star and this one are probably the only ones I go to. They’re relatively close and they’re very inexpensive compared to the main theaters around. Four Star in garden grove offers a tiered system but Regency offers a flat rate for all their movies.
Like I did before with Four Star I will tell my background so people understand and they can make an informed decision. I love watching movies, I love streaming them on Netflix at home but I also like going out to the movies to see it in the theatre. I’m not an audiophile or a videophile so for me the cheaper theaters are a great way for my friends and I to save money and see a blockbuster movie. I’m also a college student and there’s no way I could afford to go to a regular movie theatre a couple times a month. It would cost too much money.
Despite the other reviews, these are not movies that didn’t make the main theater. They show a lot of box office hits here they just do it a few months later. They will never have a new movie when it comes out but they’ll show the movie before it goes on DVD. They show movies in between that time. I actually don’t think it’s that inconvenient. I don’t watch television really anymore so I don’t hear reviews or trailers or all the hype like every one else does. Sometimes it might be a little annoying when you hear about a movie and want to go see it and you have to wait for it to come out but just put it in the back of your mind and wait for it to come out.
The last time we came here was a typical experience. We check the fandango and see if there’s any good movies with any good show times. Depending on the show time well normally go somewhere to eat before hand because the concessions are just too much for us. They’re the same if not cheaper than the regular theatre but it can jump your movie from $ 6 to $ 24 depending on what you get. We normally get the deal where it’s $ 18 for a large popcorn, large drinks, and a candy. And they go to town on those drinks they are humongous which is really nice because most of the time we deal with those small water cups lol. Every once in a while we get them. In fairness to the theatre is it really that much? Even the $ 24 you’re paying for is the price of just 2 tickets at a normal theatre if not more haha.
We normally get there right when the movie is starting. We have never looked for parking. They have a structure and it’s never full. You walk down and come over to the box office to pay which is outside. Some people are saying cash only but I’ve never once paid for a movie there with cash, always debit /​credit. People are always nice there and the thing that I love is that there’s no one checking your ticket you can just pay and walk in.
Bathrooms are upstairs so we always make our way to the bathroom first and normally go right on in to the theatre. Guys at the concession stand are always nice and they can point you in the right direction if you forget where your movie is. The theatre holds a lot of seating which is nice, it takes a lot of people to fill this place up. Most times when we go it’s never that full and I love that. I want to go to a cheap movie with no one in the theatre that’s my perfect experience. The only problem I’ve seen are the chairs. You have to sit upright they have no leeway in them at all, a feature I’m used to. Armrests move up and down though.
Based on the reviews and based on my impression over the years I bet this theatre used to be state of the art when it first came out. Great location, amazing parking lot, and they probably used to charge full price but after decades of use and ticket sales declining they just couldn’t keep up so they changed their theatre around and now they just strive to make ends meat with a little bit of profit. Think about how they generate revenue. $ 3 for a ticket per person compared to the major theaters that offer $ 12. You’re pulling in a fourth of the price. In all honesty I’ve seen this theatre measure up to the ritzier ones it’s one of the bigger reasons I stopped going to the bigger theaters. I think this theatre does an amazing job with what they have. Trying to provide you the best experience they can for one of the cheapest prices around.
All in all its a clean, affordable theatre to watch movies that have already come out in the big theaters. I’ve really seen that as an advantage really not a disadvantage because if you miss it you can just hop on over here and see it.

THREE DOLLARS!
I know you pay more for your cup of coffee. People are complaining about «old movies»? No, these are just «gently used». When you don’t need to see it immediately, or at a convenient time (some of these movies play once a day), you can just wait for them to appear here. (And, by the way, stuff like «Poltergeist» and «Tomorrowland» were here within a month of release)
As for the theater, my first attendance in this theater is in my journal. It was May 1, 1987, and back then THIS THEATER was the newest, most state-​of-​the-​art Edwards theater in So Cal. It’s exactly the same, for better or worse.
This is my go-​to «cheap» movie theater because of the price, the $ 1 hot dogs, it’s comfortable, clean, and the parking structure is never full (but there is security and camera, so be mindful where you «listen to your Bob Marley and Sublime CD» if you know what I mean.

This is probably one of my favorite discounted (rerun) movie theaters. Most of the ones i’ve been to always feel dirty and gross and the chairs are not comfy at all. This place is pretty clean, and the chairs are not bad at all. Theres not many employees there but that doesn’t really hinder their service. Can’t lose with $ 1 hot dogs either!
Also, love their nachos! Most places give you nacho cheese in a sealed container, but this gives you fresh and really nice and hot cheese, and i love it!
I’ve been going relatively often throughout the year and will definitely continue to come back.
Oh yeah, wednesdays are date nights, 2 tickets, 2 popcorn, 2 drinks for $ 10 great deal!

This is one of my favorite places in Huntington Beach. There’s a parking garage and it’s FREE. This is a nice little place to spend your evening with a friend or a date.
The bathrooms are clean but can get really hot and does have an eerie feeling, like it’s haunted or something. Speaking of haunted, I do enjoy coming here to watch a scary movie. I recommend doing that! I also recommend going to CVS across the street to stock up on your own snacks. I’m not very happy with the selection of treats at the concession stand.
There’s plenty of space. I’ve never experienced any trouble finding a seat. Wednesday is date night so ask for the deal. I believe it’s 2 tickets, 2 drinks, 2 popcorn after 6pm.

I love this place! I wish there was a place out in the South Bay that showed reasonably priced movies!
Every time I’ve come here I’ve been pleased with the general cleanliness and picture quality. The screen size has always been very big and I’ve never had an issue with the sound. The people working the counter have always been friendly. I’ve also never seen the restrooms dirty, if anything they are always being cleaned which is a big plus. I really like the value of this place and will definitely continue to come here

Good place for cheap movies! Granted that a lot of the movies are older, and I had watched a lot of the movies that they had, but there was one movie on their list of 6 (I think?) that I hadn’t watched
When you enter this place it totally smelled like buttered popcorn, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because it makes you hungry. Fortunately for me, I had just ate, so wasn’t super hungry
Theater was clean, because from what I’ve seen even the regular theaters are usually disgustingly messy
Will definitely be coming back here in the future

Out of all the discount movie theatres I’ve been to, this one probably ranks the highest in my book, mainly because the theatres are large and clean and the patrons are more considerate (ie. no crying babies or rude talkers during the movie). The seats are cushioned as well so it’s a lot more comfortable than the Picture Show at the Main Place mall.
The price is similar to the other theatres ($ 3/​ticket, additional $ 2 for 3D). Remember, these theatres show movies that have been out for awhile and are close to being released onto DVD, hence the cheaper movie ticket. They also have $ 1 hot dogs just like everywhere else. Plenty of parking in the structure next to it.
I would go here more often if it wasn’t a bit far from me. It’s a cheap and fun outing if there’s a movie you’ve been wanting to watch, but don’t feel like paying $ 13 at Edwards or AMC.
