2. Can I buy tickets in advance?
Tickets may be purchased from the box office and on-line up to five days in advance of the film's opening. Highly popular films will generate longer lines as shows can sell out hours in advance. We recommend for the most popular films, during the weekends and holidays, that you plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes prior to the advertised start time

3. Can I purchase tickets online?
Yes! Premiere Cinemas is proud to provide on-line ticket sales.  Simply click the "Buy Tickets" button below the movie you would like to see.  To pick up your tickets, visit the Premiere Cinemas ticket kiosk in the lobby.  Be sure to bring your printable receipt with the printed bar code to obtain your tickets.  Scan the bar code at the kiosk and you are on your way!  A $1.00 charge will be added for every ticket purchased.

4. What is your Ratings Policy?
Premiere Cinemas enforces the film rating policies of the MPAA. An adult guardian must accompany anyone under the age of 17 years old who wishes to see a R-rated film. Identification is required if patron appears to be under the age of 17. Read more about our ratings policy on our Web site.

5. How can I find out, which movies will be playing at my theater in advance?
Movie schedules are determined early in the week for films opening on Friday of the same week. Schedules are posted on the Premiere Cinemas site by Friday morning. Due to industry considerations, films, and schedules are subject to frequent changes, so unfortunately, scheduling confirmation can only be released a few days in advance

6. How do I contact Premiere Cinemas?
Please use the Contact Hollister Premiere link located on our website. Your comments will immediately be sent to our Customer Care staff.

7. How long will my movie play in the theater?
The short answer is, there is no way to predict exactly how long a movie will play. The duration of how long a film stays in our theaters is "how well is it doing?" and what are the studio obligations? Basically, the more popular a film is with patrons, the longer it will play. Use our website to get information on what films will be playing.

8. Why isn't a certain movie playing at my theater?
Deciding which theaters will play certain movies is a complicated and competitive process. All film exhibitors compete to acquire new releases. Many variables are considered when motion picture companies decide where to exhibit their films. Sometimes films are only released in larger markets, such as New York and Los Angeles. While some of these films are eventually released into smaller markets, some never make it at all. We currently list all the movies we are scheduled to have in the future under the Coming Soon.

9. How do I get information (or who do I contact) about screen advertising?
Please contact Tamra Koll at  831-801-0069 or send an email to tamra@cdgraphics.biz.

10. Do you reserve seats for large groups?
Purchasing tickets in advance guarantees you a seat for each ticket purchased.  However, we do not reserve specific seats in any row. Popular films will generate longer lines as shows sell out quickly. Large groups need to arrive early if sitting together is important. 

11. Can I purchase gift cards online?
Currently, you can only purchase gift certificates from Premiere Cinemas box office.

12. Can I use my Premiere Gift Card at either Hollister or Los Banos theater?
No, currently Premiere Cinemas Gift Cards are only valid at the Hollister location.

13. When do the features and show times change?
Features and show times usually change on Fridays, but certain movies open on other days, such as Wednesdays and Christmas Day. Features and show times change in accordance with these releases.

14. What kind of setup is recommended for viewing the Premiere Cinemas website?
Any computer using a graphical browser should be able to access the majority of functions on the website. For full access, you should use either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, versions 3.1 or higher. Make sure you have java enabled in your browser settings, as some of the navigation menus within the website require java and JavaScript. For best visual impact, we recommend you view the website in a full window at a screen resolution of either 800x600 or 1024x768. Using other screen resolutions can create certain alignment errors. They will not effect the content of the website in any way, but they certainly won't be as pretty. WebTV and AOL browser users should be able to use the website, but it's highly recommended you use either Navigator or IE.
