Prince Music Theater Reviews

Old historical cinema in center city. It works well and the popcorn are good

Prince is possibly my favorite venues in the city to see a live band or film. The state of the art, stadium seating establishment is booked daily with great music.

I enjoyed the atmosphere the people were very nice the staff was exceptional..

Saw a movie in the big theater and everything was great!!

My friends and I went to this movie house to hang out and spent time together. The place was clean, the seats were very comfortable, and the screen was big, clear, and loud. Besides, the foods were hot, and the drinks were cold. Honestly, we greatly enjoyed watching movies in your store. It was perfect and nice. Thank you so much!

Came for PFF Springfest, saw two incredible films, and can't wait til I'm back in Philly so I can catch more!!!

A relatively small venue for dance, opera, movies and other performances. This used to be a movie theater converted to a venue space. The seating is great, there are no bad seats even if you sit in the very back.

Love this theater, it is a historic treasure. We come from NJ to see movies at this venue.

What a great experience...... highly recommend seeing a movie here!!!!

Great big screen good audio. Good people. Beer wine and alcohol at popcorn stand. They get good movies.

I was there for a screening of Behind the Bullet!! The theatre is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable!

This gem of an independent theatre is not too large but it is clean and professionally run. I attended a special presentation in one of the theaters and was impressed by the staff and facilities.

Please support this theatre by visiting. You can watch mainstream movies while supporting local arts.

It was a nice theater that I would definitely recommend

Eye-opening experience! Looking to make changes in my neighborhood as a result.

This is a review of the black box theater at the Prince. I watched a film in the black box and was impressed. The sound system is awesome. The seats are quite comfortable, with four to a table. The film we attended was not a packed house. I'm not sure what the sight lines would be if it had been. That said, I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on the movies scheduled in the black box.

A great organization for cinema lovers. A wide variety of events ranging from New film screenings, old classics, interactive events and meetings makes it a perfect social hub for artists. A big stage, room and screen serve a great viewing expirience.

What a marvelous event this was. I still shimmer in the afterglow!

Went to see Mary Poppins here. Best movie theater experience I've had in a long time. I'd definitely look ahead to see what else is on the schedule for the main stage theater.

Very comfortable seating, very pleasant staff, terrific films, a complete package!

Waited in line three hours while management twilled their fingers,only two people on concession for a full house,never again

Very good tasty food. The portions are average; the pricing is reasonable for a center city restaurant. However, if you are particularly hungry, your dining experience will get expensive.

Saw the movie creed 2 enjoyed very much nice atmosphere

Went to the black box theatre and it was great. Might be a different story if you're trying to see the big, new, blockbuster action movie. Even if you were, the screen is a good size and the sound is fantastic.

Always a great experience at the Prince Theater. The staff are always so helpful. I also love that they have adequate bathroom facilities instead of just two toilets and you have to wait in line for 15 minutes. No problems like that at the Prince Theater. :)

Nice place may be it is not one upgrade theater but it's clean friendly staff good price.

Nice big old movie theater, with beautiful old marquee. Seats are not the most comfortable.

Professional staff and nice auditorium and sound system. Seats are old fashioned, but comfortable. I always enjoy my experience watching movies here.

Philadelphia Film Center is smaller than I thought. Its lobby is not large but nicely decorated with plaques and caricature cartoons. Its staffs were kind. Its location is very easy to find on Chesnut Street.

Wonderful theater! The people are friendly, and the Black Box is perfect for a horror movie!

We go there for the Sunday service :Freedom Church.

Great space to see movies. It used to be the Prince theater, but now is part of the Philadelphia Film Society. Get yourself a membership and support independent theaters in our great city.

Variety of dance and musical performances. Great sight lines from all seats.

I just discovered that this place also shows movies when there are not live musical performances going on. It's a great place to see a movie the screen is huge, the theater is clean, and the seats are very comfortable. And there's an added bonus of a small bar in the lobby that sells drinks that you can bring into the theater.

Had a AWESOME night at the Jay and Silent Bob's Reboot Roadshow!!!

Amazing place! We visited from it of town just to see Mary Poppins and it was worth the trip.

Me and my boyfriend got here to see Creed 2. When we got here there was no line. The box office lady was nice. We went straightforward and viewed a cute setting of seats to pick from. One thing is.. If you are 5'6 tall and above your knees will be touching the back of someones seat..Also the rows are super tight so just BEWARE of that. Also, they do not serve fountain drinks (cups w/ or w/o ice) only bottled drinks. They do NOT have popcorn either

Love it! It's intimate, not huge but big enough! Definitely stop by during the Philly festival.

Nice people place to see movies. Members only theatre

I was with my 3 small granddaughters ages 3, 4 & 6 to see Secret Life of Pets2. They loved it and the space, the chairs and tables were set up very comfortable. They really thought they were big people, with their drinks and snacks.

For one the best cinematic experiences in the city, come here. These folk keep it clean, friendly, and efficient.

The seats are pretty comfy and the audio is also pretty amazing

Very nice place to enjoy any movie. Feels very old-fashioned. Really cool place.

Went to the Screening of The Banker with Samuel l Jackson. Nice theatre

One of the best venues in the city for the gathering of like minded individuals and enjoy arts exchange. Great seating along with the value proposition.

Wonderful theater. Just no butter for popcorn but otherwise I loved it

Updating my previous review of The Prince Theater, now renamed The Philadelphia Film Center. Valentines Day weekend was also my birthday weekend. As a gift, my girl took me to the film center's special event of presenting all eight Oscar nominated films for 2018, from Friday evening through Sunday evening for $50 per person. One of only a few venues in the entire country that played all eight Oscar nominated films back to back.

A wonderful time for true movie buffs it was. And finally they have a pure butter dispenser for their bit too salty popcorn. But don't mind me because I am not the world's biggest salt fan. My girl likes the popcorn as it is now with 100% butter topping available.

The venue is always clean, particularly the bathrooms that can be the thing of nightmares at other venues at times. The staff is accommodating and the seats are old school comfortable. Sorry, no lean back seats on tap here. Management should make it a priority attaching cup holders to the seats.

All in all a very nice movie going experience. With other upgrades and one of a kind events in the works for this year, the Film Center is on its way to being the watermark standard for movie theaters in the city.

Fortunate enough to see Jonathan Demme's film of the Talking Heads classic performance at LA s Pantiges Theater, shown in all its glory at the Prince Theater. Never before had I gone to a movie theater to see a concert performance. It was an unexpected treat. Fans even clapped & cheered after each song. Weird, but I liked it.

Amazing movie theater...great concession prices and comfortable seats

We just saw Pulp Fiction on an original print and only had to tell one person in the front row to shut up!

Went to Ford vs Ferrari premiere. The film center is terrific, as seats are very comfortable. If you sit in the upper section, all the better. Each row is much higher than row in front. No head blocking. Sound is amazing and screen is perfect size. Not too big and not too small, just right! Conveniently located near all hotels and transit. I loved it.

Was shocked to know they are now showing current movies, beautiful theater, Great staff. Oh and forgot to mention... Alcohol!

Big theater for movies, but nothing special. Limited concessions.

Great theater. Only problem is parking in this area. There is a lot on 16th just past Chestnut in the Liberty building. The theater gives discount coupons if you remember to ask. This brings the cost down to $15. Public transportation is better if you can do it.

Cool organization
