Movie theaters are not only reopening in San Francisco during the pandemic, new ones are opening.
Regal announced that the long-awaited debut of its newest state-of-the-art theater, the 12-screen Regal Stonestown Galleria ScreenX, 4DX and RPX, will happen Friday, May 21, with a slate of current films including “Spiral: Saw.”
To celebrate the opening, movie tickets will be $3 for all shows through Wednesday, May 26. “A Quiet Place Part II” and “Cruella” open on Thursday, May 27.
“Regal is redefining the moviegoing experience at Stonestown Galleria where guests will enjoy the latest in technology and amenities, including three premium format auditoriums,” said Richard Grover, vice president of communications at Regal, in a statement released Tuesday, May 18. “We always strive to be ‘the best place to watch a movie’ and are excited to provide San Francisco moviegoers a new theatre with top-of-line technology, delicious concessions and memorable experiences.”
It should be a moving experience — literally. The 4DX experience includes enhanced special effects including motion-synchronized seats. The theater’s ScreenX auditorium offers a 270-degree panoramic screen. Also, the Regal Premium Experience (RPX) auditorium features uncompressed surround sound and “bright eye-popping images in a custom-built premium environment,” according to Regal.
The Stonestown theater, which has been under construction for more than two years, replaces the mall’s Macy’s department store that closed in March 2018. The opening could be good timing for Regal: Brookfield Properties, the owner of Stonestown Galleria, announced plans this March to transform the suburban-style mall into a neighborhood with nearly 3,000 housing units, six acres of green spaces and a new 20th Avenue that would become a “main street” lined with shops and residential buildings.
Regal, the Knoxville, Tenn.-based theater chain, a subsidiary of the Cineworld Group, operates five other movie theaters in the Bay Area. Regal’s Jack London in Oakland and Regal UA Berkeley reopened on Friday, May 14, joining the previously reopened Hacienda Crossings in Dublin.
Regal’s Crow Canyon in San Ramon still has not reopened. Also unclear is the status of Regal’s UA Stonestown, which opened on Nov. 10, 1970, with the Barbra Streisand film “The Owl and the Pussycat.”
Unlike other chains, Regal did not reopen theaters at all during 2020 after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown in March, not even during a period in the fall when coronavirus cases were lower and as some theaters reopened before another shutdown in December.
Regal operates 519 theaters — for a total of 6,914 screens — in 42 states along with the District of Columbia and Guam. Cineworld is the second-largest theater chain in the world and in the U.S., behind AMC Theatres.

Please update, theatre closed January 6, 1999. It the later years it was discount theatre. Final display ad posted. It became a discount theatre November 21, 1997 when the Stadium 25 opened by Angels Stadium.
thehorror13. Did you look inside theatre 4, 5 and 9. Like to see photos of those houses. Theatre 17 wasn’t bad. I wish Regal left those 2 balcony screens as is. Since covid-19 haven’t got to Union Square yet, very poor selection of new movies to see
Please update, 808 seats and 11 screens and rename Regal Fenway 11 and the two monster screens are not part of the movie theatre anymore. Only the 11 screens that got recliners a couple of years ago is still open. The two big houses wich one included RPX was given back to the landlord when the new owners are building new property. The Boston Globe article is https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/01/06/business/developer-buying-fenways-landmark-center-152b-deal/
It’s a shame the two best auditoriums with big screen are gone. Photos in the photo section. Guess that the reason recliners never were installed in theatres 12 and 13
Please update, closed new new theatre opens Friday
