Wichita’s big movie theaters all reopening next week, and one will offer 15-cent tickets
Wichita’s two big movie theater chains are reopening next week — for real this time.
Both Regal, which owns the three Warren Theatres, and AMC, which owns the Northrock 14, have announced that their theaters will be reopening, one day apart.
The Northrock 14 at 3151 N. Penstemon will reopen on Thursday, Aug. 20. The Warren Theaters in Old Town, at 21st and Tyler and at K-96 and Greenwich, will reopen on Friday, Aug. 21.
The two chains had announced plans to open once before — in mid-July — but then COVID-19 cases started to spike and they changed their plans.
Both chains plan to follow increased safety precautions, including mandatory masks for staff and customers. Both chains detail their new procedures on their websites.
The Northrock 14 will participate in an AMC promotion set for opening day: All tickets bought on Aug. 20 will be 15 cents.
Tickets for the Warren Theaters go on sale Friday of this week.
