Movie Theaters in Denmark

There is a seating chart at the counter where you are buying your ticket, so check where you will be sitting. It is sometimes possible to exchange your seats, but better to get it right from the start and avoid any hassels. It is not always possible to get the seat you want, but at least you will know where you are seated. Do you want to be on the end aisle, middle, near the top or near the bottom. It is possible to move to an empty seat when the movie starts, if no one else is sitting there. But beware, because a late comer could come in and ask you to move from "their" seat.

Second of all, there are usually large confectionary stores in the theaters. You can go in and buy all sorts of candy or "slik" as it is referred to in Denmark. There may not be a concession stand and you will have to go to the small store and get your drinks, popcorn and other edibles there. You can also buy beer or wine and bring that in with you. To many foreigners this is a shock. We can drink alcohol in the movie theater. Yes you can.

You use to get you beer in nice glasses, but it has changed dramatically over the years and it is now almost always served in plastic tumblers.

Movie ticket prices range from 60 kroner to 95 kroner, depending on the theater, time and movie. You can even buy your tickets online from most theaters. There will be a small surcharge 5 to 15 kroner.

All theaters do show the movies in the original language with Danish subtitles. The exception to this is often animation movies or movies for children which are often dubbed. This is a great annoyance to me in situations like the "Shrek" films. They are just not very funny when the lines are translated to Danish and you lose the comedy of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and the other great comedians. So always check when buying your tickets if the film is dubbed into Danish.

P.S. Danish films do not have English subtitles. They do not even have Danish subtitles, which would actually come in handy.

Below is a fairly comphrensive list of the movie theaters in Denmark. There are others, but this will give you a good start. You can also look up your location / city and add bio in the google search engine for a location near you. For example if looking for a movie theater, go to google.dk and if you live in Viborg. You put in Viborg + bio. just enter the location you are looking for a theater.

Enjoy your movie!

BEWARE Just because you see a sign that says BIO, does not always mean that it is an ordinary movie theater. There are many places that have signs that say "BIO" or 2, "CINEMA" and they do show movies, but they are adult movies. It is usually obvious because they are located near or in shops that sell adult wares. There are also usually "red lights" over the doors or windows. This is usually a big clue to the type of establishment. They are not dangerous places, but you are not likely to see the lastest blockbuster there! These places are usualy found in the larger cities like Copenhagen, Arhus and Aalborg.
