Showtimes are posted on the theater's website, where you can buy tickets online. The site splits the schedule into standard movies and VIP movies, and lists films coming soon. Because it is an eight-screen house, each film gets fewer showtimes than at the Megaplex theaters in St. George, so check the schedule before you drive over. Prices change, so confirm them on the theater's pricing page.
What is the VIP Cinema at Coral Cliffs?
The VIP Cinema is a renovated auditorium with large leather recliners and assigned seats. Servers bring the concessions you order to your seat, including food made in the theater’s kitchen and desserts from Muddy Bees Bakery, which can be delivered halfway through the film. The ticket is a $9 base price plus an $8 concierge fee.
- Seats: Bliss Zero recliners from First Class Seating, with assigned seats so you can see what is open before you buy.
- Ordering: the theater asks you to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to order. It stops taking fried food orders at showtime and all concession orders 10 minutes after showtime.
- Age rule: no one under 8 is allowed in the VIP auditoriums.
- Private events: the whole VIP Cinema can be rented for parties; call (435) 635-1484, extension 4.
The regular auditoriums have stadium seating. Full VIP details are on the theater's VIP page.
