Elk Grove I Sacramento
Stockton Holiday Cinema 8
6262 West Lane (209)955-5680 Movie Times
A mid size theatre. No stadium seating so if you're short you might be out of luck if the vertically unchallenged sit in front of you. People tend to be respectful to each other. Employees are very courteous.
City Centre Cinemas 16
222 North El Dorado (209)462-6200 Movie Times

UOP Pacific Theatre
3601 Pacific Ave. (209)946-2116 Movie Times

Tracy
Cinemark Movies 14
3300 Naglee Road (209)833-8890 Movie Times
Like Manteca, this is Tracy's only theatre, but like its neighbor it a good un' too. Also the only San Joaquin theatre to offer online ticket purchase. Located in the West Valley Mall by the food court. Movies + Food Court= Dynamite!
Lodi
Lodi Stadium 12 Cinemas

State Theatre
1307 J Street (209)527-4697 Movie Times

Elk Grove
Century Laguna 16

Century Downtown Plaza
445 Downtown Plaza (916)442-7000 Movie Times
