Sandy Cinemas was developed in 2002 by Prestige Developments and is the first and only movie theater in Sandy itself. This state-of-the art facility boasts 8 screens, stadium-style seating and also has 3-D capability. Located just two miles outside of the local city center, Sandy Cinema is part of the Pioneer Park development that is also home to the Paris Cafe. In January 2011, general admission matinee tickets were $7 for regular films and $9 for 3-D films, while an evening show will run $9 for regular films and $12 for 3-D movies.
Located just over 10 miles from Sandy's city center, Mt. Hood Theatre is a film buff on a budget's dream. As of 2011, patrons are allowed to catch a double-feature of some of the latest Hollywood blockbusters for just $4 for adults and $3 for children and seniors. The selection is not the greatest, however, as the theater only shows three movies at a time. Recent renovations include a brand-new sound system, air conditioning and Tivoli lighting in the aisles.
