College Station Theaters is a locally owned, first-run movie theater in downtown Springfield, Missouri. The venue originally opened in 2008 as Hollywood Theatres – College Station Stadium 14, was rebranded as Regal College Station in 2013, closed in January 2023, and reopened—after renovations—under local ownership in November 2024.[1][2][3][4][5] It is located at the corner of Campbell Avenue and College Street—one block north of the Moxie Cinema, an arthouse venue on South Campbell.[6][7]
History
The complex opened on November 7, 2008 as Hollywood Theatres – College Station Stadium 14 as part of the College Station redevelopment project downtown.[1] In May 2013, following Regal Entertainment Group’s acquisition of Hollywood Theatres, the site was rebranded as Regal College Station (also styled Regal College Station Stadium 14).[2]
Regal announced it would close the downtown Springfield location at the start of 2023; the final day of operation was January 5, 2023.[8][2]
Property owner Tillman Redevelopment created a new operating entity, College Station Theater, LLC, in 2024 and undertook upgrades to reopen the venue as an independent, locally operated theater.[3] A soft opening occurred in mid-November 2024, followed by a grand opening celebration on November 22, 2024.[5][4]
Facilities and operations
Renovations emphasized technology and comfort, including installation of Dolby Atmos audio in select auditoriums, laser projection, and heated reclining seats.[4] Ten of the building’s 14 auditoriums were fully renovated for the relaunch, with four left unrenovated for potential future expansion.[4]
The theater also features partnerships with local businesses: a year-round Pineapple Whip stand occupies the former box-office area, and an arcade space is managed in collaboration with downtown’s 1984 Arcade.[4]
Location
College Station Theaters sits at 415 W. College Street, at the corner of College Street and Campbell Avenue, with two free parking garages immediately across those streets.[7] The venue is one block north of the Moxie Cinema on South Campbell Avenue, placing the city’s locally owned/operated, first-run multiplex and arthouse venues within easy walking distance of each other.[6]
