Alleged loss of Regal 9 Cinema could affect neighboring businesses
There are two other movie theater's in downtown Santa Cruz. One has three screens, but is tiny, almost like a news real theater. The other plays a mix of art house, non art house, and other specialty movies. (Including those film plays from National Theatre Live)
Is any architecture from 1995 “iconic”?
It is still a multiplex.
The days of indoor movie theaters are coming to an end. It is just a matter of time.
I saw Animal House, Friday the 13th there and so many other movies there...
I had tested out of high school and enrolled in college the year before and was dating “older women “ taking them to this theater.
Pacific Mall holds so many memories for me...
Are you talking about the the theater by the skating rink?
The big mouth Hollywood stars can pay for it or oh well, too bad.
Maybe Newsome will send them a bouquet of black roses as a parting gift.

Movie theater chain permanently closing its Maine locations
CBS 13
All Cinemagic movie theaters in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts are closing their doors for good after more than 20 years.
“To the thousands of ‘Cinemagicians’ who have joined us in providing the magic of movies on the big screen over the past two decades and the generations of movie goers who we have served, we thank you for being part of our family. It has been an honor and a privilege to provide our communities with the magic of cinema,” said Zyacorp Entertainment in a press release. Zyacorp Entertainment operated the Cinemagic theaters.
Earlier this month, Cinemagic said it was only temporarily closing until spring amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Cinemagic has movie theaters in Westbrook, South Portland and Saco; Portsmouth, Hooksett and Merrimack, New Hampshire; and Salisbury and Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
Movie theaters have been struggling with the lack of new releases from Hollywood due to the pandemic.
Another chain, Smitty’s closed their three locations in Maine last spring. Smittys was a restaurant and theater.
I hate to see that.
Gosh, I haven’t been to a theater movie in 50+ years. Somehow, they should be preserved.
Toooo bad. But I never went to movies anyway, just two the year before the shutdown-—movies are such junk now. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was a hoot, and JoJo Rabbit was funny and touching. Both got Oscars for something. But even Oscars are idiotic...some Korean “comedy” beat out the two I mentioned that year.
A real shame. A good place to watch a film
Designated iconic and it was built in 1995? An Iconic movie theater in my mind goes back to the Hollywood golden era and some great movie like Casablanca, Ben-Hur, Rebel Without A Cause, etc., premiered there …
Once that judge let the Homeless camp in the theater, what the heck did people expect?
Since I returned to civilian life in 1957, I’ve been in a movie theater three times only, to see Godfather 1 & 2 and Deep Throat...
After marriage (1960), my wife or my Dad took the kids to movies...
