Johnstown Movieplex 9

Still a great place to see a movie.

Partners Bruce Wendell and Joseph Tesiero will reopen the former Johnstown Movie Plex on December 5, 2009.

The chain for this theater should be Cinema North Corporation.

I am a local teacher in the area and I want to let you know what wonderful place this theater is, I also Know Ms. Bouck,please Remember like the other comment said “THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY”. Shame on those who have too much time on their hands and like conflict. And also in the 10 years I ’ve gone to this theater, I asked, they have never had a nc-17 movie there.

I go to the Johnstown Movie Plex at least once a week,with my kids and the staff and manager are wonderful, I ’ve been going since it opened and if there was a problem, they have been handled very professionaly by the manager. I think the people on this site who have negative things to say, (one) didn’t get things their way (two)have too much time on there hands. I think the Movie Plex is wonderful, the prices are good, popcorn is excellent, the staff is friendly and happy and they go out of their way to please. I ’ve been to the other theaters in our area, NO Thanks I love the wonderful vibes at the Johnstown theater. And remember there is ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY!!!!

This is not my first problem there but it WILL be my last (they would not refund tickets when patrons talked so loudly I could not hear the movie, I left the theater after complaining to her during the movie.)I HAVE contacted Cinema North. They offered no response…and the manager in question wrote a letter in response to my Better Business Bureau complaint confabulating the entire incident to make me sound a crazed lunatic. The statement made by the sign was contrary to their business practice, as she confirmed in that letter (even further; what I witnessed when the children bought the tickets was not what she said happened yet I have no proof). In fact; she clarified the fact I made about ID…she said the children were allowed to by the tickets because an adult was called. The B.B.B. was satisfied and informed me that civil court was my next recourse. My conclusion is… Johnstown Movie-Plex Nine…No photo id required, no complaints addressed, no ethical business practice left unturned.

The sign in the window at Johnstown Movieplex 9 states; “For R-Rated films you must be 17 years of age or accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.” Photo ID required.“ Yet when I witnessed my 12 year old’s friends (12 year olds also) purchase tickets for Hostel II, rated R, I asked the children how they bought the tickets with no guardian. They told me the clerk often does this…he has gotten a phone call from another friend’s mom to allow the kids to buy whatever; they do it all the time. I asked the manager if she knew this was happening and she stated "It is not a violation of law, we only do it for a courtesy to Hollywood. I will not remove the sign (as I read it to her) and we are not a Friday Night Babysitter.” I ask, is this not a false advertisement? Misleading the consumer and violating children are of no concern to her. I commiserate with the struggling business owner trying to make a buck but this is corrupt. The other comment posted here is 100% correct as well. I will be taking my business elsewhere. Accomidating customers is not her goal.

This theatre has to be the worst theatre that I ever have been in. First I was asked to open my purse then my coat pockets, not for camcorders, guns or that, FOR FOOD!! I never felt like a criminal in my life for bringing a candy bar, 1 I tell you, in my life my god they were like I was going to break it up in to pieces and start selling it. The theatre was so cold I would have brought a blanket if I ever had to see a movie there again. They never get the rare movies or movies that might be a little risky. EVERY!!! time I have been there they have film problems and sound problems and not even a apology from the staff or management. One of the bratty teens that work there even said under there breath “Then go some place else” when I ask why its always so cold in theatre. This other time I was near another theatre but the movie I wanted to see was playing a little too late so I called and there recorded message told me one time and I get there and it had already started. Again the management never there when someone has to complain. All in all I say drive a little farther and get your moneys worth at a different place.
