Went to see The Color Purple movie was great!!! It was cold in the theater bring a sweater. A couple ppl talk during every scene and a cell phone went off a couple times ringing making it hard to hear at the moment, other than that it was good.

After visiting the Schellville in Delaware this was a disappointment and had to pay alot for Tinsletown. Everything was extremely overpriced. Over price light show . Save your money and drive around your town or head to Delaware to Schellville you won't be sorry.

The staff is always friendly. But concessions are very expensive and the inside is very dated.

Honestly, looks great in photos but doesn't capture how crazy expensive everything is once you get in there. The $30 per person charge on a Friday night only covered us entering. Then we were greeted by swarms of screaming children with parents sitting back just letting their kids run into whatever. The hot coco was $4 and the fried which were the equivalent of simple waffle fries with nothing on them were $8. Everything inside cost extra the photos with Santa and ice skating were overcrowded. Would have been better if not so many kids they need to do better about regulating the crowd and offering better prices for hot water and chocolate powder

Seats looked new but seemed narrower than I remembered. Not sure how comfortable they would be for a plus sized movie goer. Accidentally sat in the wrong row. But the theater was nearly empty on a Saturday afternoon so we were going to stay put. However, one of the seats was broke, leaned all the way back - no rocker motion left. So, we moved up one to our assigned row. One of those chairs was also broke in the same way. It was still useable, just had stay in full reclined position. I wish this Cinemark had Luxury Recliners. They do have some D-Box seats that I usually get just to have my own arm rest. But they are not high back and the motion thing is just gimmicky and doesn't really add much to the experience. I wish they would remove these and add true Luxury Recliners. The floor was sticky, so the advertised better cleaning is still a miss. I had always looked forward to coming to this theater to enjoy their over priced popcorn with a movie. Having free refills on the large popcorn and drinks made it a little less hurtful to my wallet. NO MORE! Free refills are a thing of the past. When I asked, the counter person pointed to a sign that said 'No refills to keep prices cheap' - I paraphrase - can't remember the actual wording. But Really?! The $7 popcorn can't cost the theater more than $1 of actual popcorn. Same for the overpriced drinks that also had free refills cancelled. I doubt I will return to this theater. I'll wait for the movie to stream to tv, or find a theater with real Luxury Recliners and Free Refills on popcorn. Oh, and after the movie - always need to use the restroom - but most were CLOSED. The main one at the MAIN EXIT WAS CLOSED. So we went to the next closest one and crossed the tape only to find THE WATER WAS SHUT OFF. Frickin Amazing. Definitely need to find another theater.

Not a bad movie theater as it's your only option in Erie. Only issue I have is it is not well kept and the bathrooms and movie theaters have those traditional sticky floors. Being that it's Covid, I feel it's necessary to keep these high congested areas well kept and maintained first and foremost. I understand that businesses are understaffed but safety comes first!

Went to this theatre because movie theatres are still closed in New York. The building itself didn't open until 15 minutes before the first showing and the concessions staff weren't ready for customers even then. I ended up getting a hot dog (this is the first time that I ever got a hot dog at the movies) and it was better than I expected. The inside theatre itself was on the small side and I was surprised that they don't have leather reclining seats like most of the theatres where I live. I tried the DBOX seat which moves and vibrates in conjunction with the action on the screen and has four different intensity levels to choose from. I put it on level three and the seat movement was more jarring than I expected, but it really didn't add much to the overall experience and the seat doesn't recline at all so I probably would not pay extra for it again. The staff were friendly and overall I would say that Tinseltown in Erie is an average movie theatre; not bad but nothing here to make me want to make it a regular stop.

In 2012 I used to go to this place a lot. Only movie theater in Erie. Screens are really good and sound system was awesome. Staff are super friendly.

The start of my experience here was kind of weird. Top flight security was being rude and WHILE I was buying tickets he said we couldnt hang out inside the theater until we got tickets. Yeah read that again.. lol. The girl at the register told the guy "They are buying tickets" and looked at him like he was out of line. Anyway, I had a good time beating my dude in hoops and the dope gun game they have. The price for vitamin water was 9 bucks for 2. Kinda expensive.
