What You'll Get
The first moving picture, which depicted a horse running at full gallop, was quickly enhanced by the first special effects, which showed a horse exploding next to a 3-D spaceship. Enjoy advances in film with today's Groupon: for $15, you get two movie tickets, two popcorns, and two sodas (a $30 value) at Gateway Film Center, located in the South Campus Gateway.
The popcorn purveyors at Gateway Film Center accommodate diverse film tastes by showing both Hollywood and independent movies and cater to diverse tongue tastes by offering uncommon concessions such as sushi, 20+ draft beers, and black-bean burgers. Seeing an upcoming attraction, such as The Dilemma with Vince Vaughn and Kevin James, at the theater will be an evening of blissful laughter and irony enhanced by two medium popcorns and soda pops.

- While the centerpiece multiplex has adequately served the movie-going public since 2005, it has lacked the sort of visionary management capable of realizing its full potential. Until now. – Lia Eastep, (614)
- The theatre was small but cozy. Seats were made out of leather and very comfy. The whole building has a very friendly atmosphere. – Jason Y., Yelp

About Gateway Film Center
Even though the crimson neon sign recalls that of a classic movie theater, the stadium seating and digital-projection system of Gateway Film Center point toward a modern polish. The same can be said of the cinema’s choice of films, a mix of classic pictures, arthouse darlings, and Hollywood blockbusters. The film center is also home to The Torpedo Room, a new restaurant founded by Liz Lessner of Columbus Food League, along with popcorn, candy, and a full bar with more than 20 draft beers.
