Eastside 9 Theater

Small theater, bad seating, and last time we went it was ridiculously hot in the theatre. So hot we were wiping sweat from our faces. Concessions are highly priced (as is every theatre). This place is in need of updating.

Unorganized, line didn’t make sense, employee named Seth cut the line for refills and said its okay because he works there. Tried to bring it up to the manager who ignored me and my family of four including two young children while Seth continued to argue and be rude about his rights as an employee.

Nothing groundbreaking to add about this theater, it’s a small 9 screen theater with all the same perks of any given Goodrich theater. Free drink refills, 50 cent popcorn refills (no matter the size) and stadium seating.
The only thing to note is that there are *serious* speed bumps on either entrance to the parking lot, whether you’re coming from Farabee or from 36^th Street, so don’t be trying any Fast and Furious moves after you’ve just taken in your action movies.

Not a bad theater at all. The prices here are better than the other side of the river and yet it’s still relatively close to campus. If you’re a student, the sub-​10 minute drive will save you money. They do offer a student discount here. Up until a year or two ago the theaters across town didn’t offer a student discount so it made sense to come here. Although, the levee now offers a student discount, I think the tickets here are still cheaper. It’s a good place to see a flick. I say go here rather than the one by campus.

Had a somewhat unpleasant experience but management handled it professionally and promptly and therefore, I will be back.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. We bought our tickets at the concession stand.
Part of the Goodrich Qualtiy Theaters chain, love the $ 0.50 popcorn and free drink refills!
They have a frequent movie goer rewards card with simple «points for rewards». Ex 1 movie ticket = 1 point, 3 points = free 20oz drink. I like that type of simplicity and transparency.

The movie pictures at Eastside 9 are great just like all of the others in Lafayette. I like the small theaters because of their coziness.
The service however is quite slow. I’ve waited as long as 10 minutes in a line with only a few people standing in it. If you’re going to see a movie and want refreshments along with it, try to get there with plenty of time to get your things.

Worst restrooms in town. Dirty, doors don’t close, won’t flush, just nasty.

Eastside 9 is the oldest movie theater in town, but it has been kept updated with latest sound and projection technology. It used to be Eastside 10, but they combined two theaters to provide stadium seating; the rest have conventional seating. The price of tickets are the lowest in town. Wabash Landing, which is closer to the Purdue campus, has higher ticket prices in spite of the fact that all theaters in town have the same owner. The snack bar here is reasonably fast, and the theaters are kept clean. I haven’t had a bad experience here.

Nice movie theater. The seats are not super comfortable but I like they way the seats are set up and the position of the screen. By the screen being a lot higher you won’t get your view disturbed by anybody walking in front or you. The image quality and sound was not bad at all. So far I would say this is my theater of choice around here.

This is a pretty nice theater. They usually have a good variety of showtimes. They also have a student discount night time movies. It is not usually super crowded so you don’t have to worry about finding a seat or sitting right next to a smelly person. Overall my theater of choice in the area.

Goodrich Quality Theatres have a monopoly in many small to moderate sized Midwestern cities which is unfortunate. I went to Eastside 9 with my father-​in-​law and 7 year old son tonight to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a film which was released Thanksgiving weekend and is slated to end its holiday run tonight. Huh? Goodrich is not even taking advantage of the New Years Day extended weekend rush?! We got to the cinema about 15 minutes before the start of the 8:45 show and the manager said the shows were sold out by 2 pm. He said he couldn’t do anything about the release schedule and said «there have been other new releases since this.» What… Yogi Bear? The Tourist? Narnia? These are our choices? This is the biggest blockbuster of the Christmas 2010 season and it is ending after a 6 week run. I understand that it’s not the high-​school aged manager’s fault, nor is it under the control of the cinema’s manager. It most certainly is something that could be addressed by Goodrich Quality Theatres. There were at least a dozen other people that experienced our last minute disappointment.
I guess I’ll be traveling to Indianapolis an hour away tomorrow to give my money to AMC Castleton Square 14 where it is still playing.
