Historic building and they do a lot for the kids in the community.
Terrible experience.
It was my first time going when I went to see Fantastic 4, and I was impressed for a small Maine town. It was very clean, employees were friendly, and prices were cheap. The quality of the movie was great too.
Love it. Join mug club its a life saver
Great place with friendly staff and affordable prices. We stayed in North Conway and drive over here since the local place closed down. It was a great drive with the family and the area is super quaint.
Best movie theater, a Bridgton classic.
Charming theater, I always look forward to seeing a movie there. The staff were welcoming and very friendly.
The Magic Lantern Theater holds a special place in my family’s heart. We’ve been coming here since the 1980s, and it’s become a beloved tradition to visit at least once every summer.
There’s just something magical about the atmosphere. The historic charm of the theater transports you back to a simpler time—a feeling that’s increasingly rare these days. Whether it's catching a movie or just soaking in the nostalgic surroundings, every visit feels like stepping into a piece of our own family history.
The pub inside is also a great bonus, offering a solid selection of food and drinks for all ages. It’s the perfect place to relax before or after a movie, and it adds to the welcoming, small-town feel that makes the Magic Lantern so special.
If you ever find yourself near Bridgton, visiting The Magic Lantern Theater isn’t just recommended—it’s a must.

We saw a 4:00 movie here and it was a great experience. The employees are nice the place is clean and decorated really cool. The seats were comfortable. I highly recommend this. There are restaurants in the area as will as a pub in the theater. Great experience and will be coming back
This place is amazing. It has no business being this good of a theatre because honestly it doesnt need to be. Its the only one in the area. I was blown away by this place.
An excellent Smalltown Theatre Complex, that not only Shows Movies… but has a Conference Room and Performance Stage. Theater is filled with Bridgton Movie Theater Relics including Magic Lanterns , Lantern Slides, Early Projectors , Piano, Movie Posters , Sheet Music and Signs from the Mayfair , State, Brookside and First Magic Lantern Theater.
