We recommend arriving early to avoid the line, get a good spot and start enjoying some movie theater popcorn! Opening times vary by the time of the year. May through September the gates open 2 hours before showtime in Concord, San Jose, and Sacramento; and an hour before showtime in Las Vegas, Reno and Glendale. October through April the gates open 60 minutes before showtime on Friday and Saturday and 45 minutes on Sunday through Thursday.
