MOVIES ON WEST MAIN STREET
A movie night in Turlock comes with an unlikely bit of retail history: the West Main Street multiplex occupies a former Kmart. Today, Regal Turlock is a place to see new releases, revisit an older film on the big screen or catch a special screening without leaving town.

Where to go and what’s playing
Regal Turlock is at 2323 W. Main Street. Start with the theater’s own listings: choose your date, then a film and showtime. Its schedule includes individual format and seating labels, including stadium seating and laser projection on selected shows.
Look beyond the first row of new releases. The local schedule also carries anniversary screenings, returning classics and other limited engagements. Those can have fewer dates than a regular release, so picking the film first is often more useful than deciding to turn up at a particular time.
Tickets: a few details worth knowing
- See the full price before paying. Online and app bookings include a convenience fee. Regal’s ticket help page explains pricing and cancellations; eligible refunds are generally available until 60 minutes before showtime, but convenience fees are not refunded.
- Check the Tuesday offer. Regal Value Days offers member pricing on regular 2D Tuesday showtimes, with exclusions. Compare the offer for the screening you actually want.
- Bring identification when it matters. Student and military discounts are handled at the box office with the appropriate ID. For families, read Regal’s age policy: children under six cannot attend R-rated films; ages six through sixteen need an accompanying adult 21 or older.
- Ask about access for your screening. Regal describes closed-caption devices, audio description and amplified audio on its accessibility page. Check the showtime’s listed features and ask a team member for the equipment you need.
How a Kmart became a cinema
The Cinema Treasures history dates the opening of Turlock Stadium 14 to December 18, 1998. Signature Theatres and North American Cinemas joined forces on the project, converting the former department store into a 14-screen theater with an Art Deco design. Regal acquired Signature and the Turlock theater in October 2004.
That opening also changed the future of Valley Cinemas on Geer Road, the smaller theater remembered by longtime residents. Its story links Turlock’s moviegoing past to a building now used for fitness.
