Regal Cinemas Manor Twin

Probably one of my favorite places to see a movie in the Queen City. This theater doesn’t have the «bells and whistles» that most modern theaters have: stadium seating, full meals being served to you, etc… It just focuses on the thing it does best: showing movies. I love that this theater only has a selection of two movies. Most of the independent/​art-​house movies are shown here so it gives the city access to unique movies and perspectives.
The Manor is right off of a busy Providence Rd and shares its parking lot with the nearby Panera, Wine Shop, and Deejai (thai/​fusion restaurant). Parking can be tight in the front, but there are lots of extra spaces around front… it’s actually a nice walk… especially if you are going to be immobile for the next couple of hours.
I still remember when this theater operated separately, but now it is Regal owned which lets you use a regal card to pick up points and use coupons. There’s a small concession stand where you can get your movie staples: popcorn, soda, and candy.
The bathroom situation is fairly unique, there is one unisex bathroom on the first floor that probably gets used a lot, and then there are separate bathrooms upstairs… I can’t vouch for the ladies room, but the men’s room upstairs is clean and tidy.
The Manor pretty much has everything you need for a great movie experience. The films that show here may not appeal to all audiences, but I’ve enjoyed many movies here.

This movie theater is great. They bring in the small films; the indies. The movies are always absolutely terrible– bank on it. I mean God-​awful. But the «whatever, screw it» attitude of the place is perfect! A quick trip to Target for a gallon of box wine and cheap snacks makes this the greatest date spot that has ever existed.

Man, does this take me back! In a world where everything is being modernized, it’s comforting to walk into a place that looks and smells exactly like that movie theater you went to as a kid. I love that the Manor shows films that aren’t widely available in other, larger theaters around Charlotte. The prices are about what you’d expect from a movie theater, no more or less, and you can still buy tickets on Fandango. Concessions are, again, comparable with other theaters. There’s no stadium seating here, but they aren’t claiming to be the biggest or the newest. This is a Charlotte staple and I hope to see it around for years to come!

Always a delight to come here! Very old school and brings you back in time! Great place to watch a classic movie! Only has 2 theaters!

The Manor is one of my favorite venues in Charlotte. The intimate atmosphere and fantastic selection of documentaries and art house makes The Manor a real gem.

Don’t go to this two screen in a strip mall location expecting tons of parking, reclining seats, cup holders and giant screens so, be forewarned. However, do look them up if there’s a movie out you want to see that is not at the local 16 screen mega-​plex. Our most recent visit was driven by not being able to find the latest Coen brothers flick anywhere else.
Not the swankiest theater but it is really nice to see a movie in an old school kind of place where people know to STFU while the film is running. Thanks for hanging in there Regal Manor Twin.

Love this theatre! It is very old school and has a lot of charm and plays smaller types of films/​movies and artsy movies. The staff is very friendly and the entire experience including the movie (Dallas Buyers Club) was fantastic.

This is an adorable theater! I really enjoyed watching a movie here and plan on going again whenever a movie I’m interested in hits this place. The only downer about this place is that it’s small and only has two screening rooms, but I don’t mind that.
The workers there are really nice, and I chatted with one of them at the counter. She was really nice and informed me that they started serving warm nuts and asked if I wanted a sample. So if you’re a nut lover, keep that in mind. She also let me know that Regal Manor Twin is the oldest theater in Charlotte. (I enjoy little fun facts like that!)
While waiting for the movie to start, I walked around the theater and thought it was cool that they hung paintings in the lobby that you can buy. Great to know that they support local artists!
There are bathrooms located on the main floor, which I think is good for the people who have a hard time taking stairs. There are bathrooms located upstairs as well, and it is very clean and well kept for an old theater.
The screening room itself is pretty good as well. It’s not stadium seating, but the view is still really good of the movie, not too big, not too small. If you’re a Charlottean and have not been here yet, definitely stop by and check out a movie here.

Charming and a bit quaint, the Manor provides a much needed service to the CLT area in showing smaller arthouse/non-«blockbuster» productions in a cozy setting. My first visit was last night to partake of Joss Whedon’s «Much Ado About Nothing».
If another theater that we frequent more often had been showing it, we’d likely have gone there instead — but I’m glad they weren’t, and we didn’t. We stumbled by chance that night upon a Charlotte Film Society meeting centering on the same film, so were treated to some extra perks like an aftershow talk-​back with a notable guest speaker and some swag giveaways (woohoo!). $ 2 popcorn was also a fun bonus, and a step back into yesteryear.
The theater is small, and perhaps not so… ergonomically laid out as newer/​larger arenas, but the service was topnotch and really friendly — as another Unilocaler said, from ticket window to concessions and everywhere in between, everyone was great — none of that bored, mumbling, GOD-I-can’t-wait-to-leave attitude you get from some places. And, again, the film offerings alone make it worth the visit.
Now that I know what I’ve been missing, you can bet that I’ll be keeping a closer eye on this little theater to see what’s coming up next.

I really enjoy going to the Manor. It shows independent films that I can rarely see in Charlotte. The staff there is amazingly friendly… from the ticket window to the concession stand. The auditorium is not truly stadium style and can feel a little stuffy if too crowded. All areas of the 2-​screen theater is always very clean. there are some nice restaurants, coffee houses and wine bar close by. Parking can be a challenge on busy nights… but not a real issue if you are seeing a matinée… before 6PM.

«Juno», «No Country for Old Men», «Harry Brown», «Black Swan» (on Christmas Day 2010) and _​_​_​_​_​_​_​.These are the movies I have seen at The Manor! Which means I have missed a lot! Like: «Little Miss Sunshine» and «Girl with the Dragon Tattoo», «The Artist», «44 Inch Chest», (42 Inch chest, 44 Inch Waist… OK I made-​up that one) and «Tinker Tailor Solider Spy»!
This Past Saturday Night after Dinner at Deejai Thai we stopped here to see if they would be showing: : «Stoker» the New Thriller by Korean Director Park, Chan Wook… «Stoker» is my Movie PICK of the Season if not for all of 2013!!! Mr. Park is Talented! He directed a Vengenge Triology the most Famos of his movies to US audiences was «OLD BOY»…
The Man at the Ticket Counter said he thought they were playing «Stoker» here so be on the lookout (Mid March).
This is a GREAT Old Theater! Charmingly Cool! This place has Character and characters like this place! If you are a Man or a brave Woman and a fan of «Old School Fixtures» and Tile check out the Balcony Men’s Room! I heard it was haunted and it has been by me, for sure!!!

Local «dive» theatre specializing in art and foreign films. There will be no 3-​D screenings here, but there are also no screaming three year olds in tow.
Great for a girls night out!

Manor Theater has always been my little movie haven in the Queen City. It’s small, cozy, and old school romantic.
There are only two screens, but they are almost always playing great indie films that you most likely won’t find playing at many other theaters in the area.
Ticket prices are a wee bit cheaper than other Regal theaters, which is great, but the main draw for me is the fact that it isn’t overrun with teenagers and the crowd is more mature and respectful overall. It makes for a great spot for a date with someone else, and a more perfect place if you need to have a relaxing movie date with yourself :)

One of the few indie theaters in the area. It is a romantic & intimate little cinema, really something to be cherished! I wish there were more theaters like this one in the Queen City.
*The theater is a Regal too, so you can use your rewards card :). AND they give child/​student/​senior citizen discounts.
They only have two theaters in the building so there is a limited selection, but the movies are always really great films you probably won’t be able to find anywhere else in Charlotte.
Manor is clean, well maintained, in a good location, and has great local artist décor that changes periodically.
They have a nice little counter that serves popcorn, candy (including Godiva — swoon), & sodas.
Bathrooms are up the stairs. On your way up you are greeted with paintings, sculptures, & photographs. The whole floor has a very industrial-​chic type feel.
Parking is shared with a few other places, but we have always found a spot. There is also more parking behind the building.
If you are looking for somewhere to eat before or after, Deejai Thai & Terra are right next door and mighty delicious.

When I try to tell the kids how things used to be «back in the day», they usually just roll their eyes and look at me like I am insane, because naturally nothing really existed more than a few years ago, and theaters have always had stadium seating and awesome sound systems (not to mention dozens of screens). Thankfully there is the Manor.
This «old school» theater is a remnant of what movie-​going used to be like. Sure, it makes me feel old, but it is what we used to have. There were no multi-​plexes back then. Well, I guess perhaps there were, but only if you considered a multi-​plex a couple of screens.
Now the old girl is relegated to «indie» status, but that is not a bad thing. The old chairs are not especially comfortable when you compare them to the high backs of the more modern competitors. If you should get there early or stay to the end of the movie, the spotlight from the rear of the theater will blind you, compared to the soft, ambient light you will find in more modern setups.
Definitely a worthwhile addition to the city, however. Check it out if you get the chance.

Indie film fans, this is your art house in the Queen City. Sure, we have a couple more theaters around town that show movies beyond the mainstream, but they lack the ambiance and intimate feel you come to expect from a film tha

Indie film fans, this is your art house in the Queen City. Sure, we have a couple more theaters around town that show movies beyond the mainstream, but they lack the ambiance and intimate feel you come to expect from a film that is subtitled or doesn’t feature a minimum number of explosions per minute.
With just 2 screens, you’ll never fight a crowd (at least not like the multiplex) and I almost always have a pick of seats in the actual theater. No reclining stadium style seats here, no raising arm rests to snuggle next to your date. Nope, just a plan old school theater, and the character to match.
Sadly though, corporate America’s tentacles have reached out here too. Owned by Regal, concessions and tickets are priced exactly the same as the houses of Harry Potter and Transformers. $ 10 for a ticket still does not feel right, but at leads I feel better knowing that I’m not underwriting some huge ad budget plumped up with product placements and licensing deals for every aspect of the film.
Parking can seem like a premium at times, but remember there is another surface lot behind the building. A little dark at night, but the surrounding neighborhood could not be safer. It is also easier to get back out to the main street from the back lot, as you are not dodging the otherwise sardine tin of a parking mess out front.
Do check out the info table near the exit doors. Lots of free info for upcoming flicks and invitations to join the Charlotte Film Society, who sometimes screens their pics at the Manor. If you like indie film, this is your club and these are your people. The Manor is your new home. That’s a wrap!

So, I’ve known this theatre has been a Charlotte «landmark» for quite some time, but last night was my first time going. I was there to see the long anticipated Tribe Called Quest documentary, «Beats, Rhymes & Life’.
What an old school place! I love it’s retro charm! Though it only has 2 theaters & a small concession stand, it’s my new favorite theatre! :D
The place was clean, the staff was super friendly & I love the old school bathrooms!
The seating was «new» to me, because of the location (inside a strip shopping center), the seats were a longways vertical & not wide, like the newer theaters.
I’ll definitely be back!

Nothing fancy, but no complaints (although i almost forgot what non-​stadium seating was like). i must be getting more generous with my stars, but i suppose they get the 4^th star based on their selection. It was the only place we could find the movie we were looking for, not sure if it was since the movie was old or it was only here, either way, they had it.
It was a pretty un-​inclusive visit for me, in and out really. Since i had movie popcorn the day before, i had to pass on concessions during my visit to this theater.

Movie prices seemed to be on par. My favorite part of the visit was purchasing the tickets at the outside window, then opening the door and handing another guy the ticket i purchased 3 feet away. i’m gonna go out on a limb and say you could probably combine those two jobs with only two theaters to choose from, your odds are good at locating your movie.

Great theater that shows not-​your-​main-​street films. They serve the usual popcorn and soda AND they step it up a notch by serving coffee and bottles of fancy juice. Yes, please.
The bathrooms are small, but then again this is only a two screen theater. Go for the films and nostalgia of an older theater. Do not go for luxury.
It’s in a great location to make a night out of dinner and a movie… and coffee.

If you’re seeking those small release films (i.e. foreign films, indie flicks etc.) Regal Manor Twin is the place to go. I’ve dropped by here to see a few different films, most recently «The Girl Who Played With Fire», part of the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson.
The theatre itself isn’t too much to write home about — it’s older, not super clean and hosts only two theatres. Pricing is roughly the same as other local Regal theatres, but the reason it’s a four star and not a three star, IMO, is the selection of indie flicks. While they only play two at a time, the selection changes over every few weeks — giving movie goers a chance to make a trip to see that selective release.
The concessions are just as tasty as other Regal theaters and the seats are pretty comfy, albeit a bit lower than other theaters. That’s worth noting for those of us who are vertically challenged. Employees aren’t the most chipper here, but really, it doesn’t bother me too much.
FYI to all: As Jason mentioned, the bathrooms are upstairs and for the ladies, there are only two stalls. So, hold it afterwards and head next store to Panera if you’re in a crowded theater!
Yay for a local, classic theater with interesting flicks.
