Open Hours: 9:00am to 9:00pm
Address: Abandoned JojaMart or Joja Warehouse

The Movie Theater is a building that allows players to watch movies, alone or with a guest, once every 7 days. It is unlocked either by completing the Community Center or all community upgrades offered by Morris.

If players choose to restore the Community Center, the night before the first rainy or stormy day after restoring the Center, there is a cutscene of a lightning bolt striking the doors to the abandoned JojaMart. Afterwards, the player may enter the abandoned JojaMart and find the Missing Bundle. The night after completing the Missing Bundle, the Junimos will build a Movie Theater.

If players choose the Joja route, they can purchase the Movie Theater from Morris for data-sort-value="500000">Gold.png500,000g after completing all other community upgrades. The Joja Warehouse will then become a Movie Theater.

Players must purchase a Movie Ticket for data-sort-value="1000">Gold.png1,000g to enter the Movie Theater. A second Movie Ticket can also be purchased for data-sort-value="1000">Gold.png1,000g and given to a villager in the same way a gift is given. This will invite the villager to attend the movie with the player. To see the movie with the villager, enter the theater on the same day the ticket is gifted; otherwise, the ticket is forgotten.

In a Multiplayer game, it is possible to watch a movie with other players. To do this, all participating players must gather in the lobby before the movie starts. A message suggesting you will watch the movie by yourself still displays when entering the building, regardless of other players being present.

Movies

There are 8 movies in total. Movies repeat on a 2-year cycle, based on the season in which the player unlocks the Movie Theater. All four "year 1" movies will cycle, followed by year 2 movies, then repeat. The year in the table below refers to the year in which the player first unlocks the Theater.

Asking a guest to a loved movie earns 200 Friendship points with the guest, a liked movie earns 100 Friendship points, and a disliked movie neither earns nor costs friendship points with the guest.

Note that Penny will love any movie if Pam is also present. However, this is only possible in multiplayer, as Pam will not attend the movie when inviting Penny.

Concessions

Players can choose to purchase a snack for their guest at the concessions counter. Purchasing a loved snack earns 50 Friendship points with the guest, a liked snack earns 25 Friendship points, and a disliked snack neither earns nor costs friendship points with the guest.

Only five foods out of the following are randomly offered at a time for the player to select for their guest. The game tries to populate the list with one loved snack, two liked snacks, and one disliked snack among the five snacks available at the counter, if they exist. If the theater is built from the Joja Warehouse, a JojaCorn is also guaranteed.[1]

Crane Game

Inside the lobby is a Crane Game machine. Players can play the Crane Game for data-sort-value="500"> 500g to win prizes. The first time the player visits the Movie Theater, the crane game will always be occupied by a man, and unplayable. Afterwards, before watching a movie, there is a 25% chance that the Crane Game will be occupied.

After paying to play, the player has 3 chances to grab a prize. There is a 15-second timer for each attempt, which begins when the player first moves the crane. Successfully grabbing a prize on chance 1 or 2 does not end the game. Each time the player pays for a new game, the prizes will be randomized.

The first movement is horizontal, and places the crane (right-arrow on keyboard). The second movement is vertical, and drops the crane (down-arrow on keyboard). The crane will drop to the position of its shadow, which can be controlled by holding the down-arrow. Once the down-arrow button is released, the crane will drop. When the crane reaches its shadow, it will stop and grab any prize at that location.

The crane may drop the prize on its way to the collection chute at the left. The further away from the chute the item is, and the less firm the crane's grasp on the item is, the more likely it is to drop it.

Some of the more rare prizes (like the Dinosaur Egg or Movie Ticket) may be hidden behind foliage in the Crane Game, and become dislodged when the crane drops another prize.

Prizes

Notes

  • Krobus will not attend movies on Fridays.
  • Unlike presents, the cooldown on movies does not reset on Sunday. The player must wait at least 7 days after having seen a movie to give another Movie Ticket to an NPC or attend a movie alone.
  • Even though Shane and Pam hate Joja Cola as a gift, Pam likes and Shane loves the Joja Cola concession snack.
  • Despite being clear analogs for one another, the Personal Pizza and the Pizza have notably different tastes among the NPCs; many NPCs who like Pizza dislike the Personal Pizza.
  • NPCs that can appear in the lobby include Gunther, the Governor, Famous Painter Lupini, Welwick the Fortune Teller, and Marcello, the Bookseller, who also appears in Harvey's 10-heart event.
  • Movie tickets can be purchased on festival days, but entry to the theater is not permitted. Attempting to give a ticket to a villager on a festival day will result in a popup box saying: "The movie theater isn't open on festival days!".
  • The Movie Theater cannot be entered when it's closed by using the Key To The Town.

Trivia

Bugs

  • Pam will never randomly attend a movie if the player invites Penny.[2] It is possible, however, in Multiplayer for two players to invite them and attend a movie together.
