Movie schedules are determined on Mondays and Tuesdays for films opening on Friday of the same week. Schedules are posted on the Movies 16: Janesville website by Thursday. Due to industry considerations, schedules are subject to frequent changes, so unfortunately, scheduling confirmation can only be released up to five days in advance.
Tickets may be purchased from the box office up to two weeks in advance of the film’s opening. Note: purchasing tickets in advance guarantees you a seat to a particular show; however, we do not reserve specific seats in any row. Highly popular films will generate longer lines as shows sell out quickly. We recommend for the most popular films, during the weekends and holidays, that you plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes prior to the advertised start time.
You are able to purchase tickets here on our Showtimes page.
We accept Master Card and Visa.
The length of time any film will play in any theater is based on the amount of business the film does, contractual obligations, and time of the year. Basically, the more popular a film is with patrons, the longer it will play. There is no way to predict exactly how long a movie will play. Use our website to get information on what films will be playing up to five days in advance.
You can ask for auditorium information at the box office prior to purchasing your ticket. Our goal at Movies 16: Janesville is to provide you with an outstanding experience in every auditorium.
We try to play the widest variety of movies in our theater. Unfortunately, we do not own the films we show – the Hollywood studios do. They determine which theaters will play which movies. In the case of some movies, the studios will make very few prints because their marketing department believes there is a limited number of people who want to see the film. Often these are films that get critical acclaim but are not popular with the general movie-going public. Because it can take up to two months for a print to become available to us, the popularity of the film may have waned or there are no screens available to show the film. In rare cases, the film has already been released to home audiences before a print is available to us.
Movies 16: Janesville enforces the film rating policies of the MPA. An adult guardian must accompany anyone under the age of 17 years old who wishes to see an R-rated film. Identification is required if a patron appears to be under the age of 17. For more information on film ratings, go to www.filmratings.com.

Purchasing tickets in advance guarantees you a seat for each ticket purchased, however, we do not reserve specific seats in any row. Highly popular films will generate longer lines as shows sell out quickly. Large groups need to arrive early if sitting together is important.
