Starting Friday, the first phase of renovations (Auditoriums 1-7) will be complete. At that point, Auditoriums 12 & 13 will close for upgrades.
Theater name is Regal Sawgrass
If showtimes are anything to go by, Auditorium 5 is slated to reopen Friday with Auditorium 10 closing for upgrades the same day.
They are in the process of reopening some of the theaters that received recliners, Auditorium 1 reopened on 12/19 while Auditorium 2 reopened today (12/22). With two upgraded theaters up and running, they just closed Auditoriums 8 & 9 for their recliner installs.
Auditoriums 17-23 are retaining their original stadium seating configurations, with some of those theaters are receiving Cypress Creek 16’s old seats. Not sure why some of them are closed at the moment. (A/C issues?)
Currently, expect for IMAX that just got recliners, theatres 1 thru 7, 18 thru 20 and 22 currently closed for new seating. This project is moving very slow progress.
The IMAX theater (Auditorium 11) reopened this past Friday with recliners and laser projection. Capacity reduced to 173 seats.
November 1999 was when they completed the overall renovation, the new screens themselves (3, 7-11) opened on June 11th if newspaper listings from that period are anything to go by. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any ads confirming it, however.
Please add to description 5 screens open on November 12, 1999 and the theatre currently getting recliners installed.

This opened on December 13th, 1991. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Does anyone have photos of this theater back when it had 18 screens?
I loved going to this theater when I lived in Broward. I was surprised when I found out that this theater was built in 1991, and how groundbreaking it was for its time. Regal did a really good job renovating it in 1999.
Anyway, I appreciate the murals that are in most of the auditoriums. I understand that Regal made an exception with the larger murals in this theater by putting clouds in place of the illuminated stars found in most of their other theaters of this vintage.
The five new screens opened in 1999.
