Our Story
Crown Cinema is a cherished movie theatre in Lancaster, South Carolina, welcoming generations of families since 1973. The story began when the Trivetts opened Little Theatre in Camden in 1991, bringing neighbors together for movie nights. Two years later, Crown Cinema found its home in Lancaster, becoming a beloved part of the local entertainment scene. Through decades of laughter, first dates, and Saturday matinees, the theatre has woven itself into the community. With classic charm and affordable tickets, every visit offers a chance to create new memories, enjoy big-screen adventures, and experience the unmistakable aroma of freshly popped popcorn.
