You’re standing in the middle of a parking lot in Broken Arrow, probably near Aspen Creek or over by the Hillside Drive shopping centers, and you’re trying to figure out where to actually go for a movie. It should be simple, right? But honestly, picking a place to watch movies in Broken Arrow OK theaters has become a whole thing lately.
Gone are the days when you just showed up and hoped for a good seat. Now, we’ve got heated recliners that practically turn into beds and "Grand Infinity" screens that make you feel like the protagonist is about to step on your toes.
Broken Arrow is kinda unique for a suburb because it punches way above its weight class in terms of tech. You don’t have to drive into Tulsa to get the "big city" experience. In fact, people usually drive from Tulsa to BA because of the Warren.
The Regal Warren: It’s Not Just a Movie, It’s a Flex
Let's talk about the 800-pound gorilla in the room. The Regal Warren Broken Arrow 18 on Aspen Creek Drive is basically the gold standard around here. If you haven't been, it’s designed with this retro, 1940s-style aesthetic that makes you feel like you should be wearing a fedora or something.
But the tech inside is anything but old.
They have these Grand Infinity auditoriums. Basically, it’s a massive screen with a 4K laser projection system that is so bright it’ll make your eyes water (in a good way). They also use Dolby Atmos, so when a plane flies overhead in the movie, you’re looking at the ceiling.
Why the Balcony Matters
If you’re over 21, the balcony is the only way to fly. You get:

- Heated reclining seats.
- Seat-side service (you can literally order a burger while watching).
- A private lounge area.
It’s expensive. No way around it. But for a date night? It’s basically unbeatable in the Tulsa metro area. They even have "cry rooms" for parents with babies so they can watch the flick without the rest of us wanting to throw popcorn at them.
Cinemark Broken Arrow: The Workhorse
Down on Hillside Drive, you’ve got the Cinemark Broken Arrow. Look, it doesn’t have the flashy 40s diner or the marble statues of the Warren. It’s a bit more "classic multiplex."
Some people actually prefer this. It’s often a little easier to get into on a Friday night when the Warren is packed. They have the Luxury Loungers too—those electric recliners that are surprisingly comfy.
One thing most people don't realize about the Cinemark is their Discount Tuesdays. If you’re trying to see a movie without spending a mortgage payment on tickets, that’s your best bet. Also, their popcorn is consistently better. Don't @ me. It just is.
What’s Playing Right Now? (The 2026 Slate)
If you're looking at showtimes today, we are in the middle of a weirdly great year for film. I just checked the local listings, and it’s a mix of massive sequels and some surprising indie hits.
Currently, Avatar: Fire and Ash is still eating up the IMAX and Grand Infinity screens. It’s long. Like, three-hours-and-fifteen-minutes long. If you’re going to see that one, you need a recliner. Your back will thank you.
Over at the Warren, they’re also showing 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. It’s the R-rated horror hit of the season. If you like being stressed out for two hours, this is the one.

For the families, Zootopia 2 and The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants are basically on a loop. Pro tip: If you're heading to the Warren with kids, check out the diner first. Their shakes are legitimate.
The "Local" Secret: B&B Starworld 20
Technically, this is just across the border in Tulsa (on South Memorial), but everyone in Broken Arrow claims it. It’s five minutes away.
The B&B Tulsa Starworld 20 is where you go if you have little kids. They have a concept called screenPLAY!. Basically, the theater has a literal playground inside the auditorium. They let the kids run wild for 30 minutes before the movie starts to burn off that ICEE energy, then everyone sits down for the show.
It’s a lifesaver. Seriously.
Making the Most of Your Trip
Parking at the Warren can be a nightmare on Saturday night. If you’re going to a 7:00 PM show, get there at 6:30 PM. The lot at Aspen Creek is huge, but it fills up fast because of all the nearby restaurants like Los Cabos or Charleston's.
Also, check the apps. Both Regal and Cinemark have loyalty programs (Regal Crown Club and Cinemark Movie Rewards). If you go more than once a month, they actually save you a decent chunk of change.
Quick Survival Tips:
- Book in Advance: Both theaters have reserved seating. If you wait until you're at the kiosk, you’re going to be sitting in the very front row staring at the actors' nostrils.
- Bring a Jacket: I don't care if it's 100 degrees in Oklahoma outside; these theaters are kept at a crisp 62 degrees.
- The Diner Rule: If you're eating at the Warren's diner, do it before the movie. Trying to eat a full meal in a dark theater is a recipe for a stained shirt.
Broken Arrow has honestly become the movie hub of the region. Whether you want the luxury of a balcony seat with a cocktail or just a bucket of popcorn and a big screen at the Cinemark, you’ve got options that most cities our size would kill for.

Next Steps for You:
Check the current seat availability at the Regal Warren for Avatar: Fire and Ash or 28 Years Later to see if the balcony sections are already sold out for the weekend. If they are, jump over to the Cinemark app to snag a Luxury Lounger for a late-night screening.
