1.  Private Screenings 
 

Want to watch a film we are already playing at the theater? The Grand Cinema is excited to offer private screening options! Private screenings can generally be booked up to two weeks in advance. Check out our available film options on the schedule below!
Weekday non-business hours: We can accommodate Monday-Friday only (non-holiday), while the theater is closed, with a 5-ticket ($50) purchase minimum and $10 for each additional guest. 
Weekday: We can accommodate private screenings Monday-Thursday (non-holiday) afternoon and evening times, as scheduling allows, with a 40-ticket ($400) purchase minimum and $10 for each additional guest.
Weekends and holidays: We can accommodate a limited amount of private screenings on weekends (Fri-Sun) and holidays during business hours. This option requires a theater buy-out of 100 tickets at $10 each.
The minimum number of tickets must be purchased at booking. You are welcome to sell them to your group individually after that if you choose.
This gives you an opportunity to invite your closest friends and/or family to watch any currently-playing movie in a private setting at the Grand Cinema! We can also customize the screening based on your group's needs: lights, volume, captions, etc. 
Please use the "Book Now" button and fill out the form to set up a private screening. Be sure to include the film title, requested date and time, and any additional information, including captioning, lighting, audio, and concessions requests. 

2. Group Rates

If you are bringing a group of 20+ people, you can request a discounted group rate for any Public Screening. We recommend reaching out at 3+ days ahead of your event to ensure your preferred screening can accommodate your group size.

You can choose any film you'd like to show, however, any film that is being shown in a public setting and/or advertised (for free or otherwise) by your business or organization requires a film license, or for smaller films, licensing/permission from the filmmaker directly, per copyright laws.
