Exhibition News • Boxoffice Staff • June 20 2024
Regal announced today that the company has entered into an agreement to operate the Secaucus ShowPlace theatre in Secaucus, New Jersey, effective June 20, 2024. The 14-screen theatre, previously operated by Kerasotes Theatres, is scheduled to reopen to the public as Regal Secaucus ShowPlace 14 on Friday, June 21, 2024.
“The Secaucus ShowPlace has long been the entertainment destination for the Northern New Jersey area, and we are excited to have this location as part of the Regal portfolio,” said Jerry Grewe, VP of Real Estate for Regal. “We are proud to be the new operators of this exciting theatre and to bring the Regal experience including, but not limited to our industry-leading, Crown Club loyalty and Unlimited programs and other exciting upgrades to the theatrical experience for this destination location.”
Regal Secaucus ShowPlace 14 also extends the number of locations for moviegoers to take advantage of Regal Unlimited, which allows subscribers to see as many movies as they want, whenever and wherever they want. The Regal Unlimited subscription pass is exclusively available on the Regal mobile app where moviegoers can choose from three different plans based on theatre location. There are no blackout dates and subscribers can purchase advance tickets as soon as they go on sale.

So a good theater? what is #8 like? It has reserved seating but I’m not sure how to judge it compared to say the standard AMC Rockaway design.
One of the finalists for NJ’s best movie theater.
Technically, it’s run by Kerasotes ShowPlace Icon Theatres formerly operated by Kerasotes Theatres
I just read about the DC metro area theater planned for the Tyson’s ‘Greensboro’ location (as a non ‘Icon’ complex)– I am surprised how close this will be to AMC’s Tysons' mall theater but with the amenities that this location offers it sounds like a much better theater setting. 7.1 surround sound in all it’s auditoriums is a plus, and with Arclight Bethesda proving that Dolby Atmos can be installed in smaller auditoriums there might be an incentive for Kersotes to pony up and prove it’s worth in delivering “ALL Cutting-Edge Digital Projection & Digital Sound”.
question: what projector’s are used here? are they 2K or 4K?
Recliner update is complete – I attended a show tonight – – very comfortable, although seat back doesn’t recline as far as Starplex but that might actually be a good thing – the foot rests do extend nearly flat. I suspect going this route they lost less seats in the conversion process and the theatre we were in (a medium-sized one) still boasted a decent seat-count. An usher enforced the new reserved seating policy and checked tickets upon entry to the auditorium.
The sight-lines in the upper stadium portion have changed (the first row is a good 6ft above the handicap rows, almost like a balcony) and made for a very good viewing experience. In essence, a nice, comfortable multiplex just got more comfortable – – I suspect this recliner-plexing with reserved seating may be kind of a test for Kerastoes who has plans to expand their Showplace Icon brand with new complexes in DC and Boston. The screens (proper masking here!), lobby, box-office, concession and rest-rooms haven’t changed.
Happy fifth anniversary to this theater!!!
Currently Kerasotes is renovating the theater into a recliner-plex – – the five-year old seats it currently has (which are still in fine shape) were sold to Empire Columbia Park 12, a mile up the road.
So the term is Diet IMAX.That must be what we have here in Augusta at the REGAL 20,Diet IMAX.That is a good one Justin.Glad to see you are staying on topic.LOL.
A power outage happened in Secaucus today. DId it affect this theater?
As summer approaches, I remember enjoying to watch summer movies at the two older theaters that are now gone. The AMC/Loews/Sony theaters were the place to be during the 90’s and 80’s before Clifton Commons arrived on the scene. What’s the status on the Xanadu Movie Experience that will open soon? That one I heard will have a real IMAX and not the diet IMAX that most AMCs have.
If you read the bottom of the first paragraph Kerasotes is keeping this and both Showplace Icon sites.
This just in…

maybe this could mean that AMC is coming back to secaucus!!!
This theater’s Real3D presentation of “Avatar” was excellent, except when the picture went dark for a short time. Thankfully it was during a purely dialogue scene back at Command HQ. But even that was handled well – an employee walked to the front of the house and told us what the problem was, and that it would soon be fixed. A few years ago when I saw “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” at nearby Columbia Park 12 (when it was under different management), the picture and sound cut out and nobody did anything about it for at least 10 minutes.
Made my first visit here a couple of weekends ago. Saw “2012” here, and while the movie itself oozed with cheese, it’s also a good test of a theatre’s presentation quality. On that score, this complex passed, with the special effects properly overwhelming on what seemed like a suitably big screen and the sound clear as well as loud. Some shots did look noticeably pixilated, suggesting that digital projection is still not indistinguishable from film. Not sure whether the theatre uses top or side masking, or where the auditorium for this screening ranked in terms of size within the whole complex. But either I’m becoming reconciled to the whole multiscreen, stadium-seating concept, or else some designers are just getting more clever at providing sightlines that give the impression of a large screen even in a small auditorium with top-down masking. (Here I’m not referring to this theatre, but to the AMC Aviation 12 in Linden, where I saw “Star Trek” in one of the small houses this summer and didn’t feel like I was missing out.) Regardless, I’ll come back to the Kerasotes, even if I miss the two Loews theatres it replaces.
Saw “Precious” here – perfect presentation of an excellent film. So far this place is 2 for 2 with me. Long may that continue!
Same here in Rockaway, where the movie is not playing. Hopefully later this month and next month the movie will get wide attention, especially if it gets an Oscar nomination.
Security didn’t seem like a problem – a lot of staff around. Loews was dead in its later years so they didn’t really have security. The last thing I saw at the Meadows, the John C. Rielly comedy The Promotion saw two strange incidents, the first three rows were roped off due to flooding, and teens snuck in the emergency exit, tripping over the rope.
Kerasotes hasn’t implemented their “Enchanted Evening Shows” or their racist policies of not playing films that attract black people on break like they do in Springfield, Il. Then again they aren’t playing Precious….
Is the place well secured? Hopefully it is like the old Loews theaters.
Agreed, saw The Box here last week – nice venue, nearly the same seats as the new AMC builds (GSP and Younge & Dundas in Toronto) but not as wide. I was too surprised by the friendliness of the staff and management they were everywhere you looked adding extra touches to the experience. Lower prices than Edgewater (Edgewater is still hands down the best multiplex in NJ). Also excellent popcorn with Pibb at the concession stand. The design is also pretty interesting, although a bit bland in features the auditorium entrance was a little confusing, a long hallway opens bam into the middle of the theater, no portal in the traditional stadium seating sense (I was in Theatre 3, I assume it’s a symmetrical plex and therefore 10 is probably identical).
All digital projection is both a curse and a blessing, they also are keeping the same programing from Loews (minus the Indian flicks which flourish up the street at Columbia Park). Another issue is parking, we got lucky, but with the Loews Meadows building still there (there actually wasn’t a lot of parking in Loews' heyday of the early 90’s). I do miss the Meadow’s huge theaters, especially the two further back, where I saw Titanic. I didn’t see an elevator in Kerasotes so I’m not sure if any theaters exceed 299. Anybody got a seat count on the place?
Amazing to think this was planned many years after Muvico (who knows who/when/if the plex will open) at Xanadu, and they beat them to opening day, probably at this point by years. All and all, not a bad plex from a chain with a history of racism.
Just got back from this beautiful new theater. It even smelled new. The staff was exceptionally friendly. The only bad part: the guy who took a cell phone call after the movie began the movie, and in a normal tone of voice too. At least he and his family walked out soon after. They had a little kid with them and the movie was too scary for him or her anyway: “Paranormal Activity”. Scariest movie I’ve seen in decades.
