Stadium 5 on G Street has "stadium"-style seating (and smaller theaters and screens than the Regal Holiday), as well as digital surround sound systems in all of its theaters.

Both Stadium and Holiday split what they show, so make sure you have the right theater when you show up. These two theaters both run a $5 Movie Tuesday. Joining the Regal Crown Club and getting the card also entitles you to a $1 small popcorn on Tuesdays. You can upgrade to a larger popcorn for a little more. There is also an educational discount (with a student or staff Reg Card) at both theaters for those non-discount days. You can also pay for your movie and popcorn with a credit card. They also give military discounts.

If you like sitting in the center of the theater, you should go 3 light grayish half triangles up, and 7/8 seats in. —StevenDaubert

2006-06-19 14:26:07 This theater really sucks- the screens are very small, and before the movie starts they show commercials from a video projector. If it's a widescreen movie, a curtain comes down from the top and actually makes the screen SMALLER for the movie than for the commercials! Not what a theater should be at all, and we lost the old Cinema 2 for this! —AlanSmithee

2006-06-19 15:29:22 I much prefer this theater to F st. It tends to be cleaner, the seats are in better condition and in better locations, and the crowds are smaller so it is less likely you'll get that one annoying person who thinks they're in a cafe. Unfortunately, they stick all of the high demand movies at F st (presumably because the theaters are bigger there). The smaller screen size doesn't bother me. —AlexPomeranz

2007-05-05 16:47:26 This theater has comfortable stadium seating for great sight-lines and a very good digital surround sound system. —Jedron

2007-06-01 21:19:47 We went and saw POTC 3 yesterday. Everything was great but the food is way over priced. It was $16 for a popcorn and 2 sodas. Just crazy!!!

2007-11-10 15:02:59 This theater is nice enough, but unlike many "stadium style" theaters, the armrests do not lift up to make loveseats and the seats in the stepped part do not have any recline in them whatsoever, although they are still comfortable. The most disturbing thing about this theater was the lack of soundproofing. In Auditorium 1, the movie is noticeably disrupted every time a train rumbles by outside. If it was a bargain theater, it wouldn't be a big deal, but for $9.50 plus a small fortune for popcorn, I don't want to hear the trains. —RyanCoates

2008-03-13 16:20:31 I was a projectionist at this theater for a couple years. Yes, when the movie print is in CinemaScope (widescreen) format, the curtain lowers to cover the portion of the screen that is not being used. Think of it like the "black bars" on your TV when you watch a movie in widescreen format. —Default77

2008-05-03 11:35:58 when you sit down, be sure to go to the tip of the third grey triangle, and then go 7 seats in dead center of theatre >:D —StevenDaubert

2009-02-22 22:47:18 Has anyone ever noticed the Davis theaters don't often show many movies with African-American casts? For example this weekend Tyler Perry's 'Madea Goes to Jail' topped the box office with over 41 million, without help from one screen in Davis. —GreezySweezy

It probably has something to do with a lack of a big enough audience to make showing the movie profitable. Tyler Perry's movies are geared toward an almost exclusively black audience. That is profitable for theaters in Sacramento and the Bay Area, where there are large black populations, but Davis theaters usually aren't going to show Tyler Perry movies because there's not enough black people here to make it profitable. It's not racism, if that's what you're suggesting. —PeteWillits
Plus Tyler Perry is just plain not funny —Arcturus
Davis doesn't have a large black population, and thus since Tyler Perry's target is mainly an African-American audience, it wouldn't be profitable to show the movie here. Stop trying to play the race card.

2009-09-07 23:29:56 Tyler Perry. ARE YOU Serious? WOW. GUY writes about the same crap over and over again. Yea NOT FUNNY what so ever. And stop playing the RACE CARD .He's movies are SO ANNOYING. PERIOD. —Macco
