15 reviews for Mayfaire Cinema 16
Mayfaire 16 is a nice theather and I love the location. However, having to pay $7.00 for a large popcorn and $5.50 for a large drink is highway robbery! They should be embarrassed to charge that much! In addition, the popcorn was COLD and STALE. I will continue going to see my movies at this theater but my days of buying anything from their concession stand are over! And I'll NEVER buy their popcorn again. In fact, I wouldn't have it if it were FREE! YUCK!! I will just go to the matinee movie and pay my $7.00 to get in and be able to go home without killing a twenty dollar bill! ****MAKE SURE YOU DRESS IN WARM CLOTHES AS THE THEATERS ARE FRIGID!!****
Its pretty nice but the bathrooms are always out of soap or no toilet paper... the seating is good and the staff is pretty nice but the popcorn isn't ever HOT! I can always get hot popcorn at Carmike! And they used to have complementary (white cheddar)cheese or salt,etc to go on your popcorn and now they make you buy it... which is fine but after you pay to get in and get a drink,candy,popcorn or even pizza shoot you spent a lot of money! Maybe if they are gonna sale it as an extra item maybe they should make a combo deal out of it where it is cheaper! It is so pricey to go to a movie now days! and don't forget to stop being CHEAP AND MAKE YOUR POPCORN ***HOT*** and fresh!
This theatre is big, new, and has great seating. Depending on the movie or the time of day, you can beat the crowds and have a great time.
So Kallen, what is your position at the Carmike cinema? I have noticed that you gave a scathing review to a theatre that is in excellent repair, does not smell like mold, is not damp, has not had complaints of rat feces in the popcorn or roaches in the building and has employees who do not seem like lethargic teens. After the Mayfaire cinema was opened, I began going there rather than the Carmike you gave 5 stars to-the one with all the issues mentioned above. And honestly, I found out recently that the only film in theatres now I'm wanting to see is exclusive to Carmike. I made the mistake of going there for an exclusive show once...won't do it again!
Mayfaire 16 is always so crowded. I watched Dark Knight and half the movie was playing on the masking. When I asked someone to fix it they were rude to me. I watched it again at the Carmike theater in digital and there was no comparison.
When I was leaving I heard one of the managers telling their staff to save the leftover popcorn for tomorrow! That made my stomach turn over. It may be a newer theater but I prefer the Carmike more. At least they make their popcorn fresh daily.
Mayfaire 16 is what I belive to be the best movie theater in town because it has shopping right there and it is the biggest one in Wilmington, NC.
Mayfaire is in a great location. my wife and I love to hit the barnes and nobles take in a movie and go for a walk through the shopping area. Everthing is great except the consessions they are overpriced and the popcorn is never hot. if your going to charge a premium price ,the product should reflect that. Starbucks for example sells a premium product so you expect to pay a little more. And how hard is it to have good pop corn ? REALLY.
