The Allred Theatre is located in downtown Pryor, OK. The first thing you notice is how nice it looks from the outside as you’re passing by. From its big triangle-shaped marquee reading “Allred” on both sides to its tiled ticket booth to its blinking light bulbs, you can’t miss it. It dominates the street. However, as you enter you’ll soon notice how altered the theatre is. Built in 1915, the Allred Theatre looks completely new. Its main auditorium has been divided into two screens with a third screen shooting off the back of the building. They spared no expense in the renovation, but the atmosphere of the old place has been terribly altered. For the fourth and fifth screens, an annex has been added. The annex is a converted building two buildings away from the Allred Theatre.
In conclusion, the Allred Theatre is a nice ‘new’ theatre with an old facade. It plays first run movies, but don’t expect a classic theatre atmosphere. I really would have liked to see it before its alteration.
It was closed in mid-August 2012, but reopened as a 3-screen cinema in 2013.

The Allred was divided into 2 screens either in the ‘50s or the '60s. The large, building wide screen in the rear of the building was divided into 2 screens around 2001, creating the Allred 3. A few years later, the Annex was opened. It has 2 stadium style screens. 4 of the screens are equipped with DTS. The Allred has 2 concession stands and the Annex has one concession stand.
After years of mismanagement and neglect, the theater was not viable as an operation and was falling apart. After renovation and expansion, it became one of the top independent theaters in the state.

This reopened with three cinemas in 2013.
The website only details funding efforts and the phone goes to voice mail. Is this place really open?
