What a cute little theater. I love throwbacks to a time gone. When you sit down, take time to look at the mural on the ceiling... We didn't buy anything other than our tickets. But my gorgeous Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the place.

My favorite movie theater in the area. Comfortable seats in a historic building. The new owners are lining up a series of fun new events.

It's a bit of our town's history - you were the best, Joe...
Now open 7 days a week! Showtimes are 1pm, 4pm, and 7pm every day. The Elk Rapids Cinema is located in downtown Elk Rapids in the Chalfonte Theatre at 205 River Street. The cinema and theatre are owned and operated by the Chalfonte Foundation, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit organization. The theatre includes new plush seats, an upgraded sound system and a state-of-the-art digital projector. Plans are underway to restore the mural that covers the entire ceiling of the theatre...the world's largest black light ceiling mural. Chalfonte Theatre is also home to Village Radio, a community radio station; and, The Platform, for concerts and performances.
