1. Guests must be of 17 years of age to purchase a ticket.
2. If a guest is under 17 years of age, he/she must be accompanied (watching the film) by a parent or legal guardian 21 years of age or older.
Parents are urged to learn more about the film before taking their children to see it. An R rating may be assigned due to, among other things, a film's use of language, theme, violence, sex, or its portrayal of drug use. For more information on this policy, please visit www.mpaa.org.

Why Isn't a Certain Movie Playing at My Local Paragon Theater?
In certain markets, film studios sometimes allocate films among theaters in that area. For example, one theater might receive one film to play, another theater might receive another. While we would love to play every movie, especially the big blockbusters that we know our customers want to see, we don't always have that choice - the film studios decide which theater gets to play certain films. This happens mostly at our Village 12 (Fredericksburg) and Pavilion (Naples) theater. Please contact the studios directly and let them know that you prefer to see your movies at Paragon Theaters. It is also important to note that while we would love to play every film, especially the ones our customers want to see, what we play is usually at the discretion of the film studios. Sometimes they release films on a "limited" basis, and other times a film opens "wide" - all theaters.

What is Considered a "Holiday" in Terms of Exclusions for Discounts on Ticket Pricing?
The following are considered holidays: New Year’s Day; Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.; President's Day; Memorial Day; Independence Day; Columbus Day; Labor Day; Thanksgiving Day; and Christmas Day.

Is Your Popcorn Gluten Free?
We use Orville Redenbacher popcorn kernels from ConAgra. Their gluten free statement is as follows: Even though, to the best of our knowledge, Glutens are not present, we have not analyzed for the actual presence of gluten. ConAgra Policy, at this time, prevents us from making "Gluten Free" claims while the FDA Guidance on this matter is still being reviewed. We also use LouAnn Pop N Light popping oil (coconut oil) and LouAnn Buttery Topping for our popcorn, which are both gluten free.

Can I Order Food To My Seats?

Paragon Theater's VIP Lux Box seating are the only recliners in the auditoriums with a QR code that when scanned will allow our guests to order concessions/food/or drink directly to their seats with table service. All other General Admission seats do not allow for direct dine-in service.
