District 40 & Warehouse Cinemas
Warehouse Cinemas is one of the first tenants of District 40, an entertainment venue set to occupy the old Frederick Towne Mall. Warehouse Cinemas is the first tenant of the entertainment venue District 40, which is expected to draw other businesses such as bowling alleys and restaurants. Currently, two more “anchor” businesses are in the process of signing leases with District 40, but no further information is available at this time.
Warehouse Cinemas wants to make going to the movies an entirely unique experience. That’s why the cinema has 28 self-serve beer taps and a full bar, why customers can bring in-house “gourmet comfort food” into the theater and why the plush leather seats recline fully and even have warmers.
Warehouse Cinemas is bringing more value to a standard movie ticket with a median ticket prices of $12, with prices starting as low as $5 on Tuesday mornings. The theater will also offer discounts for military, seniors and children.
The movie theater is expected to open later in July — pending Gov. Larry Hogan’s reopening plan — with restrictions in place. Warehouse Cinemas is prepared to open the theater at half capacity, and already has safety measures in place for the opening.
Masks will be required in the lobby and in the theater until customers are settled in their seats. When seated in the theater, and when eating or drinking, customers will be permitted to remove their masks. When buying tickets, customers will choose their own seats. The point of sale system will automatically provide a two-seat buffer — six feet — in between each group of customers.
