Regal Battery Park Stadium 11

So does it operate as UA or Regal ? I Know they are both Regal entertainment

Please update, on August 8, 2003 UA gave back Level 1 (Screens 1-5) back to the landlord, bringing the screen count down to 11

The theatre box office was relocated to level 1 of the movie theatre. The original marquee is no longer their and the orignal box office was sold to the Hotel Conrad. I posted photos of the theatre taken in 2003 and the present. The theatre now has recliners and the business is up on the weekend now.

The theatre capacity based on fandango.com (not including wheelchair spots) Level 1 (at one time Level 2 6-10) 1. 74 2. 60 3. 75 4. 123 5. 215

Level 2 (at one time Level 3 11-16) 6. 70 7. 57 8. 64 9. 73 10. 124 11. 220

Regal doses not offer RPX at this location. They probadly didn’t install it due to low attendance. Regal does not offer expanded concessions at this site.

This theater now has reserved seating and will soon get king sized recliners in every screen.

Does anyone know of a theater operating in this neighborhood before the construction of the World Trade Center? The theater would have opened in 1927 at the southwest corner of Cortlandt and West Streets. The project was mentioned in the July 13, 1927, issue of The Film Daily. If it did get built it might not have operated for very long.

They’re currently doing some sort of construction there: the bottom floors are closed and customers have to take a series of escalators to the third (or was it fourth?) floor to even reach a box office. The rest of the theater is blocked off with partitions. The entrance to the building itself is a bit hard to find; the outside is blocked off with Regal-marked wooden partitions that point in the general direction of the entrance but it’s easy to miss.

We went there on a Thursday evening and the place was dead; the staff didn’t even bother taking our tickets.

next year marks 10 years since this theater opened, and became the 9/11 theater due to its close proximity to the twin towers. In 2012 the 10th anniversary of the Tribeca film Festival will take place.

GaryC. you got jerks in smaller cities too,one reason i never go to a film unless its 007 or Clint Eastwood and Uncle Clint is slowing down.

For years those of us who work in lower Manhattan had hoped for a movie theater to be built in this area. And this one filled the bill. I sometimes go there after work or take off a few hours early if there is something I really want to see. The first film I remember seeing there was Schwarzennegger in “The Sixth Day.” I have seen several films on their first day at this theater: last summer’s Star Trek, the last 3 Bond films, Superman Returns, etc. It is actually fairly impressive. After you buy your ticket, you take an escalator to the first floor. There are no theaters there, only an enormous shoe outlet. You then take an enormously long second escalator to the second level where half the theaters are. If you are unlucky, you have to take another long escalator to the rest of the theaters on the third level. This theater is so high up that the lobby and concessions stand area offers an impressive view of the West Side Highway.
As previously stated, when I go in the afternoon it is never super-crowded. I only had one bad experience there when some lowlives found their way to the theater I was in showing “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” They had obviously came out of another theater and decided to make our lives miserable by talking and making noise at the top of their lungs. Fortunately these fools got bored and left after about ten minutes. I don’t blame this incident on the theater though. It could’ve happened in any theater in any large city in America.

Was there today to see the Woody Allen film ,rode up 3 flights on escalator to find it was 85 degrees and very humid in that particular theatre. Was informed A/C wasn’t working. Got a refund and will not be returning anytime soon. I have already called Regal and await a response.

the food concession there is mediocre, but the theater has spectacular views of Ground Zero from its escalator areas.

Over on the Tribeca Screening Room there is a mention that there was some friction between the Regal BPC folks and the Tribeca FF and that is why the Tribeca FF festival is, as far as I can tell, only using two screens this year. Anyone know the story.

I find it odd that a fest who raison d'etre, or one of its raison d'etres, is to get people downtown post 9-11. The “Tribeca Fest” is now moved out of Tribeca and is screening films in the Tribeca FF in the East Village (Loew’s/AMC’s E. Village ‘plex), midtown (Loew’s/AMC’s W. 34th St. 'plex) and the Westside (Loew’s Lincoln Square 'plex).

And I just read on the Ziegfeld listing that the opening film at the fest — FLIGHT 99 — premiered at the Ziegfeld, in midtown no where near Tribeca.

It kind of defeats the purpose of the fest to expand above Canal Street. It seems the original purpose of the fest has gone by the boards and the fest organizers are playing lip service to the downtown community.

The only time I go downtown — below Canal — is for this fest. This year my visits will be much fewer and far between because I have screenings in the three Loew’s/AMC ‘plex.
