Cape Cod Mall theater Change Continues with Bill Hanney’s Entertainment Experience
Hyannis, MA – November 14, 2025 - Renovations are well underway at the Cape Cod Mall movie theater in Hyannis, as owner Bill Hanney prepares to launch ”Bill Hanney’s Entertainment Experience.” The project aims to transform the space into a multi-faceted entertainment destination, complete with updated auditoriums, a renovated lobby, and plans for future additions like fountains and lighting around the adjacent pond.
Hanney, also owner of Entertainment Cinemas, Theater By The Sea, and North Shore Music Theatre, secured the space after the lease for Regal Cinemas expired. The idea for the project originated during the pandemic shutdowns, when Hanney envisioned a vibrant gathering place for Cape Cod residents and visitors. He intends to bring “big shows” to the area, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of Las Vegas.
The renovations include new seating in all auditoriums, a redesigned lobby with new carpet, and the addition of a new bar. Hanney began operating his first theater at the age of 19.
“I wanted to do big shows on Cape cod where I live.I wanted it to be a gathering place, like Las Vegas,” said Hanney, a part-time Brewster resident. “We’re just starting. There’s going to be a lot of things coming.”
