What's New
YES CINEMA IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED
As the COVID-19 virus continues to spread, for the safety of our guests and staff and per the recommendations of local, State, and Federal health authorities, YES Cinema will temporarily close operations. This has been a difficult decision but the health and safety of our community has been and remains YES Cinema’s priority.
Please come back and support your Cinema with a Cause, YES Cinema, when we plan to reopen.
In the meantime, continue to check our website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for updates, fun film facts, and to purchase gift cards. Stay safe everyone!
#ColumbusCares - Show Your Support!
In partnership with Quick Signs, the Lincoln Central Neighborhood Family Center (LCNFC) and YES Cinema are providing an opportunity for you to show your support to essential care givers and all essential personnel who are giving so much during the COVID-19 pandemic.
LCNFC and YES Cinema in collaboration with Paul Wendell of Quick Signs is providing an opportunity for you to show your support of all our essential personnel who are currently working diligently on behalf of our community during these uncertain and chaotic times. Currently, there is a national movement called Show Your Heart or Hearts for Health Care Workers. However, we have taken this initiative one step further by including all medical professionals and essential personnel helping Columbus and Bartholomew County residents.
The LCNFC and YES Cinema are processing heart sign orders and delivering them straight to your homes. Proceeds from these “special” hearts will be used to provide income for YES Cinema’s 18 part-time employees and to supplement lost income caused by the Coronavirus shutdown. The loss of ticket sales and concessions, special events, and on-screen advertising has really taken its toll, placing YES Cinema in a precarious situation. In addition, numerous concessions products have had to be purged. We hope to generate lost revenue through the sale of “#columbuscares” signs, featuring a Big Red (thank-you) Heart. It is our hope the sale of these hearts will help YES Cinema remain a key downtown destination. We are now taking orders and hope you will support our efforts by purchasing one (or more) of our signs for $15.00 each. You can order yours by following the link below.
Yard Sign
These special signs @ $15.00 each can be your way of saying “THANK YOU” to all the wonderful folks working so hard during this time to help Bartholomew County’s most vulnerable citizens while at the same time supporting the YES Cinema and its mission with the Lincoln Central Neighborhood Family Center.
For your convenience and to maintain social distancing, your sign will be placed in your yard by volunteers from the Columbus Newcomers Club — typically within a week. Please stay inside your home or at least 6 feet away from the individual who delivers your sign!

A QUIET PLACE II - Premiere Postponed
Following the deadly events in the first film, the Abbott family (Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe) must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path. Co-starring Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou, and directed by John Krasinski (that's Mr. Blunt to you).
Don't go in the water...never get off the boat...and don't utter a sound.
It's not "I Spy," it's MY SPY - Premiere Postponed
MY SPY follows JJ a hardened CIA operative (Dave Bautista) who has been demoted and finds himself at the mercy of a precocious 9-year-old girl, named Sophie (Chloe Coleman) where he has been sent undercover begrudgingly to surveil her family. When Sophie discovers hidden cameras in her apartment she uses her tech savviness to locate where the surveillance operation is set. In exchange for not blowing JJ's cover Sophie convinces him to spend time with her and teach her to be a spy. Despite his reluctance JJ finds he is no match for Sophie's disarming charm and wit. (Rated PG13 for action/violence and language)
"Former wrestler Bautista is adept at both physical and verbal humour and, teamed with former Flight of the Concords' co-star Schaal, there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments for viewers of all ages." - The Chicago Reader
Disney's Live Action MULAN release postponed

Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential.
