I reside in the San fernando Valley not far from this theatre. I drove by the other day and noticed the place is currently closed. The traveling circus taking up residency in the parking lot is open, though! There’s a big sign on the building encouraging patrons to visit the other Regency locations.

I lived near this theater growing up in the late 70’s and early 80’s in North Hollywood.

I remember seeing the original DAWN OF THE DEAD when it first opened in 1979. The best thing about it was that the ushers and popcorn counter girls were all dressed up like zombies (fake blood and white face paint)! It was great!

I also remember seeing the original HALLOWEEN here. I was very young and I got so scared that I ran out of the theater and wouldn’t go back to watch the rest. My mom had to take me into SKATETOWN U.S.A. instead.

A couple of years later (i think in 1980 or 81), they showed MANIAC there. I begged my dad to take me and they wouldn’t let me in since it was “No One Under 17 Allowed”. I was probably around 8 or 9 and i started crying. I wanted to see it so bad. The box office people probably thought i had problems… a little kid having a tantrem cuz i couldn’t see MANIAC!!! We ended up seeing COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER instead. On a bathroom break, i tried to sneak into MANIAC but got caught. It was pretty funny.

The best thing about the UA was that they showed so many differen’t types of movies… from Blockbusters to seedy little exploitation flicks.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!

Regency Theatres has reopened this theatre. However, it appears most of the films are second-run movies. Don’t know if they remodeled, etc.

Having lived in the San Fernando Valley most of my life and most of that time in the East San Fernando Valley not to far from the UA in North Hollywood I am surprised that the last time I saw a movie here was in 1986. It was a midnight showing of the “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” But then I think about it and I remember even then the theater was kind of shabby and uneventful and over the past twenty years the area has really declined. But I also did not know this theater had only recently closed.

THE LAST DAY OF BUSINESS WAS THURSDAY, 9/23. WORD HAS IT REGAL ENTERTAINMENT HAS REPORTEDLY FOUND A NEW OPERATOR. THE WRITING HAD BEEN ON THE WALL FOR SOME TIME. I AM AMAZED THE THEATRE STAYED OPEN THIS LONG. THERE WAS NEVER MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE IN AN AUDITORIUM AT ANY GIVEN. ALSO, THE THEATRE WAS IN HORRIBLE CONDITION… NEEDING A PAINT JOB, NEW SEATS, ETC.
