Movie-Going Experience Gets a Makeover in NWA Going to the movies isn’t what it used to be… it’s better! To keep up with the times, movie theaters are updating their venues and offerings to modernize the box-office entertainment experience. New amenities include reserved reclining seats with ample arm room, table service dining, shorter lines due to online ticketing services and improved concessions. Three major theaters in Northwest Arkansas are leading the new era of cinema. Be sure to visit with friends or family soon, or board the Butterfield bus for the next group outing to the movies!
