AMC Fayetteville 14 is the multiplex on Lake Valley Drive, just off Skibo Road north of Cross Creek Mall, and it is the Fayetteville-area theater that IMAX lists for its large-format screen. The building opened in November 2014 as Carmike's Patriot 14 and became an AMC location after AMC acquired the Carmike chain. Local coverage at the opening described the IMAX screen as roughly 70 feet wide and 31 feet tall, and IMAX now lists the auditorium as an IMAX with Laser installation with stadium seating. The other 13 auditoriums show first-run releases on a standard schedule. Because it sits a few minutes from AMC Market Fair 15, moviegoers can compare start times at both locations before choosing a show; this is the one to pick for IMAX screenings. Showtimes, ticket prices and premium-format availability change weekly, so check AMC's website or app before heading out.

AMC Market Fair 15 anchors the Marketfair Shopping Center at 1916 Skibo Road, making it the cinema option for shoppers already on that stretch of west Fayetteville. The 15-auditorium cinema operated as the Carmike Marketfair 15 for years and switched to AMC branding in April 2017, after AMC completed its purchase of Carmike Cinemas. It runs first-run Hollywood releases in standard auditoriums, with large-format IMAX screenings handled by the sister location instead. Ticketing listings note free self-parking beside the building, which suits a site where the theater shares lots with the shopping center's other tenants. The location keeps a separate schedule from AMC Fayetteville 14, a few minutes north on Lake Valley Drive, so the same film often plays at both with different start times; the Lake Valley site is the one to choose for IMAX. Showtimes, pricing and any discount days are set by AMC and change often, so confirm details on AMC's website or mobile app.

Millstone 14 is the movie theater for the southern end of Cumberland County, set in the Millstone Shopping Center on Footbridge Lane near the Hope Mills town line. The cinema is run by Stone Theatres, a regional operator, rather than one of the national chains that dominate Skibo Road, and it carries a Fayetteville mailing address in ZIP code 28306. For residents of Hope Mills and the Camden Road area, it is a much shorter drive than the AMC theaters on the west side of Fayetteville, and it spares south-side households a trip up to Skibo Road on a busy weekend night. The theater shows first-run studio releases across its auditoriums, and the shopping center around it includes a Cold Stone Creamery for a stop before or after a film. Stone Theatres posts showtimes, ticketing and any special pricing on its website, which is the best place to check what is playing and when.

Omni Cinemas 8 is a locally operated eight-screen movie theater in Omni Plaza off Sycamore Dairy Road in Fayetteville's 28303 ZIP code. The building has changed hands several times; Cinema Treasures records past operation by Consolidated Theatres, Fairlane-Litchfield and Regal before the current Omni management. Its schedule now lists new studio releases alongside coming attractions, and tickets and seat selection are available through the theater's own website and mobile app. The cinema shares the plaza with the Omni Family Amusement Center and Mountasia Fantasy Golf and Games, which makes it easy to pair a film with arcade games or mini golf. Omni Plaza enforces a supervision rule for younger guests: after 4 p.m., anyone under 17 must be accompanied by an adult aged 21 or older with ID, with at least one adult for every five minors.
