It didn’t say REgal. I went to Tally many times between 1986 and 1990. There was a UA theater that operated as a $1.00 discount house, a theater in a small mall and a theater operated by Eastern Federal theaters right near the Governors mall. I don’t find any of these listed here on CT.
If I remember correctly this theater had the exclusive showingin 1978 of the movie version of A Little Night Music with Elizabeth Taylor which never played Manhattan.
I can’t believe they didn’t do a good business. Midnight In Paris played there last year for over 6 months. These big chain theaters really suck closing all the good single screen theaters.
They are very good for closing some of ths screens in theaters they purchase. The closed the lower 4 theaters at the Las Olas Riverfront theater in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. It was originally 23 screens when opened by Regal in the late 90’s Regal eventually
closed 8 of the screens in the lower section including the largest one. Now Frank has closed the remaining 4 lower screens
I just uploaded 4 photos from last night. The theater is kept in reallynice shape by the new owners. One thing that hasn’t changed since I last was there in 05 is the screen in theater 3 isn’t wide enough for scope films. It still is off the screen on the right side.I am not sure what the problem is because you can see thwe screen is a great size.
Mike Rogers this was no great theater. The screen like all others in Tampa except 20Th Century were not wide enought to show films in scope. So any film in scope was off the screen and in the bushes. I hated it.
The screen at the Mustang had a curve to it. I lived in Tampa when it was open and than when it was a flea market. The 20th Century had a true wide scope screen even though when I first went to Tampa in 77 it was panavision projection.
OMG if AMC gets a hold of this they will ruin the Ziegfeld.

IS this a United Arttist theater?
OK are they going to carve up the beautiful main auditorium or just add screens ina na adjoining building?

I went to this theater often in the70’s. It was converted to a twin in the late 70’s.
It was open in th elate 70’s. By the time I stated going back and forth between NYC and PHila in 82 and 83 it was closed.
Was this on the sight of the old Newark Drive -In?

This sucks. Maybe somneone will take over the lease.
I lived in TAmpa from 83-96 and worked at USF up the road from the mall and this was a great mall than. Wow what 16 years can do.
So does the curtain open up or across Ed? It is absolutely beautiful
It will be interesting to see if this theater will add digital projection or fold. I hope they invest and add the digital.
Years ago when it was showing movies ti had Plitt in the same spot.
I Sure wish they would do away with this 3-D crap and bring back 70MM. I would pay extra for 70MM
Scarey that AMC owns this theater you know how they are about small theaters that are not multiplexes.
The 12 screens hey have open are all in the food court. The original 4 from GCC were in the back of the mall.

Has anything happened with this theater. Is it open or did the whole deal fall through?

Back in town for a few days so I am off to my favorite movie theater in Lauderdale to see a movie. Will give an update later.
Love the screen it looks great.

Do you know if the Mustang was capable of showing films in true scope?
