1. Edwards Fresno Stadium 22 & IMAX

2. Regal Cinemas Manchester 16
Manchester is a theater complex with multiple screens featuring latest films, plush seating, and concession stand. This is a nice theater in a not so nice location. It seems to attract loud, young people that are not always considerate of others watching the movie. There is a good mixture of movies and the seats are very comfortable, the staff is extremely friendly and the theater is nice and clean. Get there early because there is usually a line during the weekends.

3. United Artists
This is a basic theater with stadium-style seating and snack bar, showing new releases and discounted matinees. This is probably the most quietest of all the Fresno movie theaters. It is in a good location and plays the latest movies. The theater itself is very nice, large, and has plenty of parking space outside. The staff is exceptional. Management has done a terrific job of hiring quality people, including handicapped and middle-aged people of all races and ethnicities. The best thing they applied recently is the addition of closed-captioning glasses. The text is displayed on the inside of the lenses and not on the screen, so you can move your head and still read the audio. It takes 2-3 minutes for the manager to bring these to you in the lobby and this usually gives you a chance to get popcorn. And don’t fail to sign up for a Regal Card. It accumulates points for every purchase and you get a free movie ticket about every three months and either free popcorn or a free small soda at least once a month.
