What is Your Rated R Policy?

Paragon Theaters requires picture ID for the purchase of tickets to all rated R films. Paragon follows the MPAA guidelines for rated R movies which states:

Guests must be of 17 years of age to purchase a ticket.

If a guest is under 17 years of age, he/she must be accompanied (watching the film) by a parent or legal guardian 21 years of age or older. Parents are urged to learn more about the film before taking their children to see it. An R rating may be assigned due to, among other things, a film's use of language, theme, violence, sex, or its portrayal of drug use. For more information on this policy, please visit www.mpaa.org.

Do You Allow Costumes?

Paragon Theaters welcomes guests to attend movies dressed in costumes, but does not allow weapons or other accessories that may make guests uncomfortable or cause a distraction. We also ask that you leave the masks at home.

Do You Offer Hearing Devices?

Yes, as part of our compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Paragon Theaters does provide hearing-impaired guests with the option of using a device that enables close captioning for our films. Please call your local theater directly for more specific information.

How do I redeem colored passes, loyalty free tickets and concession rewards?

Can points be added for movies I saw before I registered for Diamond Rewards or if I forgot it?

If you visit the theater during a non-peak time (avoiding Friday or Saturday evenings), a manager can assist you with adding points for a recent visit. You will need to have your receipt or transaction number on hand in order to regain your points.

I lost my Diamond Rewards Card, what do I do?

Diamond Rewards is a virtual program, so a physical membership card is not required. Theater staff can locate your account using the phone number or email address registered to your membership.

Why can't I register the gift card I received?

Plan Your Visit

Tickets and Showtimes

When I purchase tickets online, it requests a zip code, but what if you're from Canada?

Please instead create a zip code by taking the three numbers in your postal code and adding two zeros to the end.

When Will the Showtimes Be Available?

All Studio bookings are confirmed on Mondays, so final weekly schedules become available for the coming weekend by late Tuesday evening. On a holiday week, the showtimes may not be available until Wednesday.

How Do I Change My Seats?

To change your seats or move to a different showtime, please visit the theater’s box office before your scheduled showtime. Seat and showtime changes are subject to availability, and additional charges may apply.

What Do I Need to Pick Up My Tickets?

The box office at all locations can scan in both digital tickets on your mobile phone or physical paper printed tickets. You can also retrieve tickets at the box office or automated box office with the credit card you used to make the purchase online or your confirmation number (see question below regarding retrieving confirmation).

Why do you charge a booking fee?

To guarantee your are able to get tickets before they sellout, we offer the convenience of purchasing tickets (and at most locations reserving your favorite seat) in advance online. We charge a nominal fee per ticket in order to maintain this service for our valued guests. The fee is detailed (listed as "booking fee") on your order summary at checkout. The booking fee is non-refundable.

How do I refund my tickets?

Tickets purchased online may be canceled and refunded online up to 30 minutes before the scheduled showtime. Tickets purchased at the box office may be refunded at the box office on the day of the show, prior to the scheduled showtime. Refunds and exchanges are not available after the scheduled showtime. Online convenience fees are non-refundable.

Accidental Order? Purchased Tickets for Wrong Theater?

Tickets purchased online may be canceled and refunded online up to 30 minutes before the scheduled showtime. You may then place a new order for the correct theater, date, or showtime. Tickets purchased at the box office must be handled at the box office before the scheduled showtime. Convenience fees are non-refundable.

How Many Tickets Can I Purchase Online?

Please note that there is a maximum of ten tickets per online order. Should you wish to purchase more than ten tickets at a time, please place separate orders.

How Long Will a Movie Play at my Theater?

Movie engagements are reviewed weekly. Whether a movie remains at a theater depends on guest attendance, studio agreements, auditorium availability, and upcoming releases. Updated showtimes are generally posted by Tuesday evening for the following weekend.

Why Isn't a Certain Movie Playing at My Local Paragon Theater?

In certain markets, film studios sometimes allocate films among theaters in that area. For example, one theater might receive one film to play, another theater might receive another. While we would love to play every movie, especially the big blockbusters that we know our customers want to see, we don't always have that choice - the film studios decide which theater gets to play certain films.

It is also important to note that while we would love to play every film, especially the ones our customers want to see, what we play is usually at the discretion of the film studios. Sometimes they release films on a "limited" basis, and other times a film opens "wide" - all theaters.

Ticket Pricing

Discounts and Age Categories

Do You Have Student Discounts?

Yes! In order to take advantage of our special students discounts, guests must present a valid student ID at the box office. Student discounts are not available online, and are only offered at select Paragon Theaters. Discounts apply to general admission tickets only. Pricing is available on each theater's Ticket Pricing tab.

Do You Offer Military Discounts?

Most of our theaters offer military discounts. Please check your local theater under the Ticket Pricing tab. This discount is available to those who present proper identification at the box office (and their immediate family members who also have proper ID). Military discounts are valid for general admission only, only for tickets purchased at the box office (not valid online).

What are the Ages for Children / Senior Pricing?

Child tickets are for ages 2-12 . Senior prices vary by theater. Please visit your local theater's page for specific ticket pricing.

Dining

Food and Beverage

Is Your Popcorn Gluten Free?

We use Orville Redenbacher popcorn kernels from ConAgra. Their gluten free statement is as follows: Even though, to the best of our knowledge, Glutens are not present, we have not analyzed for the actual presence of gluten. ConAgra Policy, at this time, prevents us from making "Gluten Free" claims while the FDA Guidance on this matter is still being reviewed. We also use Sunglo popping oil (coconut oil and soy bean blend) and Sunglo Buttery Topping for our popcorn.

Can I Order Food To My Seats?

Paragon Theater's Lux Box In-Theater Dine-In Service provides guests with a QR code, that when scanned allows them to order expanded concessions/food/or drink selections directly to their seats with table service.

All other General Admission tickets do not allow for direct dine-in service.

When does our kitchen close and ordering system gets turned off?

Our in seat ordering system will automatically turn off 30 minutes after our last show of the evening. I.e. if the last show is at 10pm our ordering system will shut off at 10:30pm. All orders must be completed and placed before the ordering system is shut down, please be mindful of this when booking the last show of the evening, sit down and order your drinks, food or concessions right away!
