Regal Moore Warren Theater Set To Reopen In April

In less than two weeks, it will be lights, camera, action at an Oklahoma City metro movie staple. 

The Regal Moore Warren theater is set to reopen its doors in April. Moore city officials said it's been a long-awaited announcement

"We are just one of thousands of theaters in the Regal family, but we are super excited to be one of the first to be reopened," said Deidre Ebrey, the director of public affairs and economic development for the City of Moore.

Mark your calendars, Regal Cinemas will reopen the Regal Warren theater on Friday, April 2. 

The Warren in Moore will be in the first wave of openings, alongside theaters in New York City and Los Angeles.

"So if you look at the list of all the Regals that are opening, we're a very small market compared to these larger markets speaks to the volume of people that attend that theater on a daily basis," said Ebrey.  

It's not just movie-goers who've missed the Warren.

"More than anything a buzz. It creates energy for that area which spills into the other businesses that are in that area," Ebrey explained.

The co-owner of nearby restaurant, the Catch, said movie-goers have caused his lines go out the door.

"That parking lot is completely full all the way down to the highway, so a lot of people come here to eat before or after they go to the movies," Jason Coursey said. 

Ebrey said when it comes to catching a flick, the more the merrier, safely.

"We would hope that if somebody's in a community where their theater is not yet able to open that they would obviously come here," she said.

From the theater diner, to the IMAX, and little details in between, Ebrey said a number of Moore residents, herself included, can't wait for the curtains to open.

"Anybody can just show a movie but then to add those extra elements that really make it a night out makes it seem special. It feels special," said Ebrey.

News 9 did reach out to Regal for a comment but didn't hear back.
