Just uploaded in the photos section, pictures of Theatre 17 and old Theatre 8 views. The new theatre 17 screen, no masking, letterbox for scope films.
On Friday, December 20, theatre 17 (old theatre 8 balcony) opens, seating capacity 288. Hopefully, it’s a decent screen when “Star Wars” premieres. Hope to see the auditorium soon.
Hello-
i went to this theater Fri. 12/13 to see Uncut Gems. the new seats are uncomfortable if you’re taller than average' for a guy. also the color of the new seats looks like a pumpkin threw up. a color blind person would have picked a better color.
Thanks. Don’t know if my buddy Bill M. was there as a projectionist when you were there. I know he was there in the later 2000s.
Hi Mark, as I was the Chief Projectionist at Union from opening through March of 2006 and have kept in touch with some people, it is my understanding that both balconies in 4 and 8 are being extended to the front of the auditoriums. That being said, auditorium 8 will now be 2 auds and the lower level of aud 4 will be cut in half front to back. That’s where you now get 5 auds out of 2, hence the now 17 screens. That’s if my info is correct.
Just a quick question, since Ive never been to this theatre. My buddy use to be one of the projectionists here before it went digital. It was a 14 screen theatre. If you split two theatres balconies, that adds 2 screens for a total of 16. Where is the 17th screen coming from??
You could watch this trailer witch is currently playing at Regal. It was filmed on the 2nd level of Union Square and filmed in the old balcony of theatre 8. https://youtu.be/gseqaPibDtI
Update, theatre 11 opens Friday (old theatre 10) has 128 seats. Now the 6 small houses are open on the 2nd floor.
Please update, Regal Union Square 17 OPEN AND RENOVATING
The theatre is expanding to 17 screens. Cinema 4 and Cinema 8 balconies will be separate auditoriums. I don’t like the idea Regal is destroying Cinema 4 and 8 into seperate screens.
The theatre is getting new seats, no recliners. They are installing Klipsch surround speakers.
Curently, theatres 1 to 7 is still open and they recently open theatres 10, 12, 14, 15 and 16 on the second floor. The second floor looks similar to the recently open Regal Essex theatre. The only refreshment stand that open is on the main level. Look in the photos section of the new screens.
Theatre 10 121 seats (old theatre 9) Theatre 12 130 seats (old theatre 10) Theatre 14 138 seats (old theatre 12) Theatre 15 118 seats (old theatre 13) Theatre 16 86 seats (old theatre 14)
The theatre is still under renovations. Presently, only Theatres 1 to 7 are open. Theatre 8 and the upper level is closed. According to a Regal employee, Union Square will be getting RPX.
The usher said the 2nd floor will open next year. Presently, your purchasing tickets from kiosk or at the refreshment stand. The Regal project started last winter, can’t believe it takes a year to renovate a whole level. Posted a couple of photos from the theatre.
Please add to description, theatre open on November 13, 1998 and it was opened under United Artists Theatres. This was built by UA and had THX sound in theatre 3. It was branded Regal Cinemas in the mid 2000’s
On this date 20 years ago, The Phantom Menace made its debut here in Dolby EX and THX and became a huge hit.
Isn’t the Union Square under going renovation. It looks like only 7 screens are open at this time.
Unfortunately, this theatre dose not offer reduced prices before Noon. Doesn’t REGAL know that they have competition with the 19th Street, Village VII, Village East and Chelsea that offer discounts before noon.
Also, those theatres have recliners. Union Square still has those uncomfortable UA seats when it open in 1999.
Happy 20th anniversary to this theater this month!!! It was here during showings of Meet Joe Black that the teaser for “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace” was shown before and after the movie, causing a media frenzy which resulted in a so-so movie that has become a defining moment for a young generation whose older siblings grew up with Star Wars and were weaned on the Special editions a year ago. It was during one of the showings that a man used a video camera, made a bootleg copy of the trailer with a packed crowd, and posted it on the internet way before Youtube existed. Soon after, the trailer made its debut on TV shows and on Apple’s website, where the second trailer broke records online. The rest is cinematic history.
United Artists Court Street also opened as a Regal, became a UA like Batter Park but never went back to being a Regal even though you can tell it was a Regal by the neon signage in the concession area on the main level. I guess they wanted no more UA’s left in Manhattan because Regal seems to be the primary brand they seem to want to concentrate one.
When this theater opened and battery Park they were opened under United Artist chain. Even after Regal purchase UA they kept the UA name except here and maybe Queens. Does anyone know why?
I saw Hotel Transylvania 2 in 4DX at a different theater in the Boston area but my reaction was pretty much the same as yours xbs2034. It’s enjoyable in small doses but I feel it is better suited to a theme park ride than a feature film. I didn’t mind being sprayed with water but did not like the simulated smells, which were a major turnoff for me.
Saw BvS in 4DX here this weekend, and yeah at the start it seems really cool, but there is a reason this type of experience usually is seen in short theme park rides. As with a 2.5 hour movie it can get exhausting, take you out of the movie, and even uncomfortable at times (didn’t like getting sprayed with water so I turned that off which is an option), and I found IMAX to be a better way to see this film.
Still, I would like to at least try it one more time with a shorter film (also I didn’t buy any concessions for the film, and would advise anyone seeing 4dx to do the same as I could see that being a problem). We’ll see if the high ticket price also becomes a problem, but at least for now I had to sit in the first row and looked like most showings were sold out, and it is something which I can see perhaps having more lasting appeal to tourists and kids (when I described it to my nephews they thought it was the coolest thing).
Actually, I thought it was a perfectly relevant question including to this site, as to the economics of movie theaters. And, my opinion is that no, not enough New Yorkers are going to pay for moving seats etc long enough for this to last.
Because I figured how much the X4D cost
People in NYC are gonna pay $28 for 4DX at this theater?
does 4DX incorporate Dolby Atmos sound?
Batman v Superman 4DX tickets are over $28 here. I’m always interesting in seeing anything new, and would like to try 4DX once or twice, but that is getting into sticker shock territory.
Throw in a strobe light or two and everyone will up chuck.
