Grand 16

While it is typical of today’s most modern stadium-seating multiplexes - clean, bold, neon-infused design - this cinema opened in 2006 as one of the flagship operations in the new Pier Park open-air shopping plaza in the west end of Panama City Beach.

The website states this is under the Southern Theatres, LLC, chain (formerly Gulf States Theatres). The auditoriums feature terrific sound, comfy seating. Popcorn isn’t bad (though not as good as Carmike Cinema) and concessions seem on-par with most other places. Tickets range from $6-8. Unlike the cinemas in Panama City, this cinema tends to hold onto films longer.

The only major downside is the parking: one must park around and/or to the back of the building, and this is one big building!
