Theater Review: Palace offers crowds a final chance for second runs

Second runs offer a cheap last chance for audiences to watch blockbusters (and busts) alike

The Palace Theater is where movies go before they settle into their rental rack resting places. With eight screens of final chances, the Palace – located in Chesterfield Village – offers second run movies for next to nothing. Every showing costs just $2.50 – unless you make it for Timewarp Tuesdays, when every movie is just $1. No joke. One single dollar.

Price – Are you kidding? It’s less than $3.

Parking – Ample, but can get congested on weekend nights.

Seats – They might be a bit narrow – the sweatsuit too small guy would have trouble fitting – but have huge cushions and recline.

Concessions – This is where they make the cash. Cheap tickets, huge snack prices, but the larges come with free refills.

Start times – The time they post is the start of the film, not the start of the trailers, so plan to arrive a few minutes early.

Arcade – Small, but sufficient – air hockey, Big Buck Hunter a couple of racing games, nothing spectacular, but in case you’re early, it’s something to pass the time (Schultz & Dooley’s is across the parking lot for the adults)
