Movie Theaters in Johnston County
If you’re thinking of taking your family on a trip to the movies and assume you have to head toward Raleigh, you might be heading in the wrong direction. There are a number of good quality movie theaters in Johnston County for your enjoyment.
Relocate Clayton thinks the best budget-friendly deal for seeing a movie in Johnston County is the Howell Theater located in downtown Smithfield, NC. At only $2 per ticket, this theater is a wallet-friendly place to see a movie. Yes friends, I said $2 per ticket. The theater was built in 1935 and last renovated in 1996. It’s a nice, yet there are much newer ones around…but they aren’t charging $2. The entrance and bathroom are not wheelchair accessible. Concession prices and show times are listed on the Howell Theater’s web site. Parking is on the street.
