Boulevard Theatres is a movie theater chain based in Wichita, Kansas, United States. It was founded by Tyler Cooper and Ryan Blasdel in 2021 and is privately-owned. [1]
Boulevard Theatres opened its first location May 2022 in Towne West Square. [2] The location is in the former Warren Theatres Movie Machine, a 5 screen multiplex. [3] In preparing this theatre for opening, Boulevard Theatres installed new projectors and sound, refreshed the auditoriums and remodeled the lobby and concessions area, introducing Wichita's first fully self-serve movie theatre concessions. [4]
In January 2024, news broke that Boulevard Theatres was planning to purchase the Regal Warren location, in the Old Town neighborhood of Wichita. [5]
At the end of September 2024, Boulevard Theatres announced that it had purchased the Old Town theatre, and would reopen it. [6] On December 20, 2024, the new location began to welcome guests, during it's "soft opening" while further renovations continued. [7]
In April 2025, the chain announced that it would bring in Wichita's first self-pour taps for alcoholic beverages. [8] The system allows guests to pour their own alcoholic beverage, beer, wine or cocktails, once they have checked-in and received a RFID bracelet. Guests then pour their drink and pay only for what they pour.
