The South Hill Mall opens its interior mall on September 21, 1988 with a grand opening - theater-less - On May 12, 1989. In 1994, the Mall expanded and a year later it inked Act III Theatres of Portland to build an interior mall 6-plex. The mall directory listed the cinema in 1995 with its opening a full year later on August 30, 1996. At its opening, all six theaters of the Act III South Hill Mall 6 were THX certified - bold.
In October of 1998, ACT III was acquired by Regal Theatres (KKR) taking on the Regal Cinemas / Act III South Hill briefly in October 1989 and the Act III disappearing not long thereafter as the Regal South Hill Mall 6. Regal has slightly refined that to the Regal South Hill Mall Cinema. The venue scuffled during the COVID-19 pandemic closing March 16, 2020 along with most cinemas. It reopened on May 7, 2021.
1,340 seats as of Nov 2022.
I first checked the newspapers website and looked at the papers in Tacoma, It said that their showings lasted until the pandemic. Afterwards, I checked Google and as on what it was, it’s still opened. Oops, my mistake!
Yes it is open checked web site.
Theater currently has showtimes and does not appear closed. Still operated by Regal.
It closed last year in April 2020 because of the pandemic. To the best of my research, I believed that it later listed as “permanently” closed. But the stupidest part of my research is Google Maps. Google didn’t update the theater at all.
When did this theater close? This was a nice theater and located right next to the freeway with easy access.
Originally was going to have stadium seating, but opened with conventional sloped floor seating.
