Sponsored by Planters Bank, the film series features vintage flicks and modern classics presented on selected Sunday afternoons in the Roxy Regional Theatre’s 169-seat auditorium by means of equipment provided by the Clarksville-Montgomery County Arts & Heritage Development Council. Since Roxy Regional Theatre Executive Director Ryan Bowie brought film back to the theatre for the first time in over three decades with the Planters Bank Presents… film series in the fall of 2016, the corner of Franklin and First in Historic Downtown Clarksville has played host to such favorites as The Lion King, Ghostbusters, The Wizard of Oz, A Christmas Story, Hocus Pocus, Dirty Dancing, Toy Story, Beetlejuice, Forrest Gump, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Citizen Kane and others.
Admission is $5 (cash or check only). Tickets for each film go on sale one week prior to the showing and are available at the box office between 9:00am and 2:00pm, Monday through Friday. Any remaining tickets are available at the door one hour prior to show time. Popcorn, assorted candy and drinks are available as concessions.

Effective January 1, 2020, a 3% fee for using a debit or credit card will apply to movie ticket purchases, so we strongly encourage cash or check payments. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, credit card processing fees severely cut into our budget every year, so we have found it necessary to implement this policy. Thank you for your understanding.
