HONOLULU, HI –Kapolei Commons, West Oahu’s premiere shopping destination, continues to grow, announcing today that it is moving forward on construction of its latest phase in which Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE:RGC) will operate a brand new state of the art 12-screen movie theatre complex scheduled to open in Fall 2015. Regal Cinemas Kapolei Commons Stadium 12 will occupy 52,000 square feet featuring all new electric recliner seats for a luxury experience and with a menu to match.
MK Kapolei Commons, LLC is a joint development by The MacNaughton Group, Kobayashi Group and Craig Realty Group. The first phase of the center opened in 2009 featuring Target, Sports Authority, Office Max, Petco and Ross. Kapolei Commons has continued its steady growth, most recently with the addition of Pier 1 Imports followed by TJ Maxx opening in early 2015 along with additional restaurants and retail. Kapolei Commons at full build out will feature over 600,000 square feet of shopping dining and entertainment.
“Regal is thrilled to be adding another fantastic entertainment option for our loyal customers on the island of Oahu. Regal Kapolei Stadium 12 will feature a new level of amenities for moviegoing, where every seat will be a luxury electric recliner. Regal Cinemas is eager for construction to begin so that we can premiere this new luxurious theatre,” stated Jerry Grewe, vice president of real estate for Regal Entertainment Group.
“Kapolei Commons opened in 2009 and has continued to grow every year since including the recent addition of Pier 1 Imports, Ruby Tuesday and TJ Maxx which is under construction now. The addition of Regal Cinemas furthers our commitment to creating an exciting and vibrant center for kama‘aina and visitors to gather. We are excited Regal Cinemas has chosen Kapolei Commons as the first location in Hawaii to debut the most cutting edge entertainment technology available and plan on complimenting this new theatre with additional fun and exciting dining and entertainment options,” said Duncan MacNaughton, Chairman of The MacNaughton Group.

Please don't build another movie theatre in Kapolei. We don't need one because there's already a movie theatre just 1.2 miles down the road. Our society needs to reject the rampant consumerism that has become a way of life. It is unnecessary and damaging. Hawai'i has enough malls, theatres, and big box stores. Kapolei is a nondescript carbon copy of a mainland suburb plopped in the middle of what should be untouched, pristine farmland. Stop building things so that transplants stop moving here. It is not part of the Aloha Spirit to give and give and get more problems in return. Please do no build another movie theatre in Kapolei!
