| - Picture Show is located inside the Paradise Valley Mall, near the two-story parking garage. There is always ample covered parking close to the theater. It's also located next to the food court, so, if you're hungry for a meal, it's easy to stop there before or after your movie.
Cheap ticket prices are the main attraction here, with lots of specials and discounts. Ticket prices are lowest in the area for all showings and the 'before noon' and anytime Tuesday shows offer amazing value. I find myself watching more films now in the theater because of the low prices. They also accept the MoviePass debit card, and are friendly about it.
The theater itself is currently using older seating, which have cup holders and rock backwards, but do not recline. However, they will be remodeling later in 2018 and newer seating will be installed. Be patient, this theater is dedicated to improving itself and serving the community. The mall will also be transformed sometime in the next couple of years, and this theater will be upgrading with it.
I personally think they have the tastiest popcorn in town. It's not oversalted, and you can taste corn flavor. Popcorn and drinks are priced below what other theaters charge for similar sizes. The hot dogs are very reasonably priced. The candy selection is good.
They offer a great kids' birthday party option at a budget price; which makes both the kids and the parents happy.
The screens are all decently sized. While there are some theaters which are smaller than others here, none are as tiny as certain Harkins screens nearby. The sound systems are of good quality and accurate.
It's a shame more people don't patronize this gem. But, that's a bonus for use regulars, I have never seen the place too crowded. I have never seen a film with anything other than a polite audience. Overall, this is the best place to catch a movie in NE Phoenix.
