Three area Regal movie theaters are closed

The few people in this area who still like to go to the movies got a jolt last week when they discovered that three formerly-popular Regal theaters were permanently closed.
Shuttered are the Regal Continental at 3635 S. Monaco Street Parkway in Denver, the Regal Cinebarre Greenwood Plaza at 8141 E. Arapahoe Road in Greenwood Village Entertainment District, and the Regal Meadows at 9355 Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree.
The Continental had been open for over 50 years and included an extra-large auditorium that was popular for important movie premieres and those that had special sound effects. Its last day of business was April 13.2023
The Cinebarre was a concept that Regal introduced at that location a few years ago after the theater lost a lot of its business to the Landmark Theater (when popcorn and soda there were complimentary) and the Regal Southglenn. The Landmark drew lots of adults and Southglenn drew many of the younger people who also liked the amenities of the outdoor mall at Streets of Southglenn. Cinebarre offered a limited menu of food that could be eaten at one’s seat but it was awkward to eat there and ordering popcorn from a waitperson was also different. We went there at 5:00 p.m. on April 14 to find out if it was still open. As we came up, a staff member in uniform was walking into work at the theater when the manager opened the door and told her and us that it had closed.
It’s unclear when the Meadows Theater closed but one need only try to pull up showtimes there to see that it is gone. It doesn’t even show up on the list of theaters on Regal’s own website that still lists the Continental and Cinebarre, which both say, “We don’t currently have any screenings that match your selections.”
We reported on January 26 that our review of documents filed in the bankruptcy case of Regal’s parent company, Cineworld, indicated that the Meadows and Southglenn theaters were planned to be closed February 1. We wondered why Southglenn would be closed with approved plans for over 900 new residential to be built at the Streets of Southglenn in addition to the over 200 that are already there? Apparently, plans changed because that theater is still open and operating with new first-run movies.
We visited the AMC Arapahoe Crossings theater at 6696 S. Parker Road in Centennial this past weekend to see a movie. It was hopping, even felt like pre-pandemic days. We asked an employee if business had picked up. He gave us a wide smile and said, “Definitely.”
Please update, CLOSED as of February 5, 2026
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is shuttering its location in La Centerra in Katy — the only one in the Greater Houston area. While no public statement has been published by the company, our call to the theater verified the closing. Additionally, as reader Dale Prasek discovered and we confirmed, no tickets are available to purchase on the website beyond Saturday, February 7.
I asked to speak with the manager of the Katy location as well as emailed franchisee Triple Tap Ventures LLC. We’ve not yet received answers on why it’s being closed. Should we receive additional information, we’ll update this post.
The closure marks the end of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema having a presence in Houston for more than two decades. It first opened at West Oaks Mall in May 2003 and closed in June 2012 — a long and successful run hampered at the end by the diminishing stature of the mall. The opening was notable as the first cinema to operate as a dine-in theater, with servers bringing dishes and drinks right to guests in the auditorium.
A Mason Road location in Katy followed, then Alamo Drafthouse Cinema would open a second in Vintage Park in far northwest Houston on February 13, 2013. However, by December 2016 and after only a three-and-a-half year run, the location was leased by competitor Star Cinema Grill.
In July 2018, the La Centerra location debuted in a brand-new, custom-built facility, and it’s had nearly an eight-year run. However, there has been cause for concern over the past decade. The Houston-area locations were franchises operated by Triple Tap Ventures LLC, which announced locations in Houston, Sugar Land and League City that never came to fruition. The COVID-19 pandemic was not kind to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema chain, either, as it filed for bankruptcy in March 2021.
While the closing of the La Centerra location marks Alamo Drafthouse Cinema’s exit from the Greater Houston area, other Texas locations remain open in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and other towns.

GREENPORT — Story Screen Cinema will shutter Sunday, becoming the second movie theater to open and close at its location in under four years.
The closure was due to “some major issues” with the building at Fairview Plaza, owners Mike Burdge and Diana DiMuro said in an Instagram post. They decided not to renew their lease after
“much back and forth” with the landlord at the commercial shopping district about a mile north of downtown Hudson.
The theater’s departure leaves another retail space empty in Fairview Plaza, where vacant storefronts and “for lease” signs have proliferated in recent years. Trinity Realty Group broker Kevin Parisi declined to comment on the latest closure at the property he oversees. County records show the plaza is owned by a limited liability company based in Brooklyn and Ann Arbor, Mich.
The theater’s screenings of classic and cult movies endeared it to local cinephiles. In its final days, the movie theater planned to show a double feature of “Beetlejuice” and “A Mighty Wind” to honor Catherine O’Hara, the Canadian actress and comedian who died last week.
Burdge started Story Screen in 2014 as a community for film enthusiasts. He helped to reopen and manage the Beacon Theater before teaming up with DiMuro to open the three-screen venue in Greenport. The pair said they would continue to host pop-up events and outdoor screenings throughout the Hudson Valley while they looked for another location.
The Madison Theatre briefly operated an outpost at Story Screen’s plaza location. The Albany theater opened its Greenport venue in 2022, temporarily closed that same year, and later reopened for a short stint in August 2023 before shuttering within months.
Burdge and DiMuro thanked patrons for supporting Story Screen during its two-year run.
“We have loved meeting you and hosting you for events and talking movies with you,” they wrote. “We are truly saddened to be leaving so soon and we will be working on finding a new space.”
