ridethectrain commented about Regal Fenway Stadium 11 on Apr 20, 2021 at 6:35 pm

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

The two brands operated more than 300 screens in California, including the coveted Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. In a blow for California moviegoers — and those in Los Angeles in particular — the ArcLight Cinemas and Pacific Theatres are closing all of their locations for good after seeing their business decimated by the pandemic.

ArcLight’s stable includes the prized Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. The Dome, built in 1963, is the crown jewel of the small theater complex constructed in more recent years.

ArcLight Hollywood is a bastion for both first-run movies and independent titles and, at one time, was one of the first L.A. cinemas to offer high-end food. It has also been a favorite site place to stage premieres of indie titles, and is beloved by many cinephiles.

ArcLight’s locations in Hollywood and elsewhere, including Sherman Oaks, are operated by Pacific Theatres. The Pacific side of the aisle includes such popular locations as the Grove in West Hollywood.

“This was not the outcome anyone wanted, but despite a huge effort that exhausted all potential options, the company does not have a viable way forward,” said a statement issued by Pacific Theatres, which is owned by the Decurion Corporation.

No ArcLight or Pacific location has reopened since the pandemic began. On Monday afternoon, word quickly spread across Hollywood that they will remain dark for good.

It wasn’t immediately clear who the pool of potential buyers might include for the more high-profile locations, should they be up for sale, such as the ArcLight Hollywood complex.

Last year, Netflix closed a deal to operate the Egyptian, another landmark Hollywood theater that’s not far from the Cinerama Dome. Among the mega chains, Cinemark only has two L.A. locations (one in Baldwin Hills and the other in Playa Vista).

“To all the Pacific and ArcLight employees who have devoted their professional lives to making our theaters the very best places in the world to see movies: we are grateful for your service and your dedication to our customers,” the statement continued. “It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve you.”

The National Association of Theatre Owners has warned all along that smaller and regional independent chains, such as Pacific and ArcLight, might never recover from the COVID-19 crisis.

“To our guests and members of the film industry who have made going to the movies such a magical experience over the years: our deepest thanks,” read the statement issued by Pacific Theaters. “It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve you.”

ridethectrain commented about Regal Union Square Stadium 17 on Mar 31, 2021 at 4:31 pm

I don’t understand why Regal had to destroy the two big houses. Upstairs is fine, but the downstairs theatre 4 (now screen 4 with 21 seats and theatre 5 23 seats. I doubt it recliners, are these two bad screens. Theatre 9, which was the bottom of theatre 8 is 50 seats, the screen must be close. I’m schedule to be 9 to see “Boogie”, after that I’ll give an updated report. Theatre 4 was once a great auditorium, now theatre 13 RPX is probably good, doubt if they added Atmos. Regal only has Atmos in a small percentage of RPX locations.

My guess 13 is similar to 17, I hope to see why old downstairs are so small in size. The renovation work was completed probably last fall/winter during the time the place was closed. I also have photos of 4 and 8 in the photos section. The lobby design is similar to Regal Essex Crossing.
