The Gentry Cinema – Welcome to The Gentry Cinema in Checotah, Oklahoma!

That’s a great question, and a somewhat complicated one! We want to show the movies that YOU want to see. So, if there’s an upcoming release you really want us to show, stop by and let us know.

Each distributor has guidelines for how, when, and where their movies can be shown. For example, they may require that a new release movie be shown at least five times a week for three weeks in a row. If we can’t commit to meeting those numbers, we don’t get the movie. If we wait a few weeks after it’s released, we may have a little more flexibility on how many times we show it.

Co-owner Wally Wesley loves movies and especially loves watching them in the cinema. Some of the classic movies we show are movies he really wants to see on the big screen, but also movies we know hold a special place in the hearts of other people as well.
