Your Next Movie Moves

With streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, watching a movie in the comfort of your own home has never been easier. But there’s just something slightly nostalgic about heading to your local movie theater, buying a large popcorn, and watching 25 minutes of previews before the movie actually starts.

Luckily for Saint Joe’s students, the surrounding area is packed with different theaters that offer unique experiences. Let’s go over some of them.

Studio Movie Grill

Address: 53 South 69th Street Upper Darby PA, 19082

Price: Adult- $11.00 Child- $8.00 Senior- $9.00

Reel Cinemas Narberth 2

Address: 129 North Narberth Avenue, Narberth, PA 19072

Price: Adult-$12.00 Child-$9.00 Senior-$9.00

Student discount: None

Reel Cinemas in Narberth offers a completely different movie going experience. Because it has only two theaters, Reel Cinemas gives off a “small town theater” vibe, which may not be for some, but for others, can be very enticing. Although there is no student discount, the tickets and snack options are reasonably priced, so taking a trip over to the small town of Narberth to see a movie may be the move for you. Especially if you go on a Tuesday, when all tickets are only $6.00!

United Artists Main Street Theater 6

With newly added reclining chairs, and wide range of movies to choose from, taking a trip over to United Artists on Main Street may be worthwhile. Once again, there is no student discount, but they do have the cheapest tickets of the bunch. Many students already live in Manayunk, and countless others take day trips there on the weekends.  Checking out a movie at United Artists is a fantastic way to follow up a nice dinner in Manayunk.

Address: 400 S Christopher Columbus Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19147

Price: Adult-$11.59 Child-$10.54  Senior-$10.54
