N. Ogden theater to open Feb. 13

The Walker family has been in the movie theater business since 1932, expanding the Walker Cinemas in Perry from two screens to eight.


The North Pointe Theatre, closed since 15 October 2008, was recently purchased by the Walker family. 

"We like to keep a family-run business and keep the atmosphere friendly with people coming. We thought this theater would fit into our structure," said owner Kerry Walker.  "The building and equipment was in good shape. We've had to fine-tune projecting equipment to get better quality for films. We're getting all the seats dry-cleaned and throwing some paint up in the lobby."

The public was invited to check out the facility at a free open house on 12 February 2009.  The theater reopened as the Walker Cinema on 13 February 2009.
