“We at Regal recognize that a movie theater is a special gathering place for the community. It’s a place where people come together. That’s why we took the opportunity during this grand opening to give back to the community while letting crowds of moviegoers come experience the all-new Regal Barkley Village Stadium 16 IMAX & RPX,” said Rachel Lueras, Regal Entertainment Group Marketing Manager, in a news release.
First-run films include The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in both the RPX and IMAX formats.

What a great thing to do for this community. Thank You
If only they could keep the prices the same even at $5 a ticket would be cool
I guess we are now supposed to get on our knees and thank them for destroying what was going to be a true urban village. What a waste to see all of that prime land covered in parking lots.
Very, very cool.
