We’re redefining what a cinema experience can be. Enjoy a retro lounge and film archive with an emphasis on cinema appreciation—featuring carefully curated classics, independent gems, and occasional new releases.
Join NowRoyale Cinema Lounge was created to offer something unique to the Joplin community—a dedicated space to celebrate the art of cinema in a more personal, curated way. As a member, you gain access to carefully selected independent and classic films presented in a cozy, third-space atmosphere designed for meaningful connections and an appreciation of storytelling.
We are not a traditional commercial theater. Instead, we operate as a member lounge/club, meaning that not all of our screenings are publicly advertised. This allows us to show a wider range of films at a lower cost to you!
If there’s a movie you’d like to see on the big screen, just let us know—odds are, we can get it for you.
Our screenings and events are exclusively for members, creating a close-knit community of people who share a love for film.
We focus on showcasing timeless classics, groundbreaking independent films, and hidden gems you won’t find at a standard theater.
With an intimate setting and a focus on fostering conversations, Royale Cinema Lounge feels more like a living room for movie lovers than a bustling megaplex.
