Movie Theaters in Fairfield County, CT

12 theaters across the county — from IMAX multiplexes to a 40-seat hotel cinema and a nonprofit theater that employs adults with disabilities.

Grandparent tips for all theaters: Matinee showtimes (before noon) are the best value and least crowded. Most theaters offer senior discounts — ask at the box office or check online before buying. Pick an aisle seat when booking online: grandkids will need a bathroom break. AMC A-List members get 3 films/week including IMAX and Dolby for ~$25/mo.

AMC Multiplexes

6 locations — widest showtimes, IMAX, Dolby, and recliner seats. All AMC locations accept AMC A-List memberships and Stubs points. Senior pricing available — ask at the box office or check the AMC app. Reserve seats online: pick an aisle seat for easy bathroom breaks.
