This was my first visit since the renovation, all of the 8 screens, no masking. The only screens that are scope screens (masking for FLAT) is theatres 5 (old theatre 3 and former 70MM house balcony) and theatre 8.
The theatre layout is the same prior to the renovation, AMC added 2 escalators to the second floor and theatre 5/6 (former balcony) you enter in the back. It has two men/women restrooms but not enough stalls in the main Men’s room in the lobby.
The sound proofing was poor, I heard the sound from theatre 2 while watching my movie in theatre 1.
The one negative, the sight lines are not great.
AMC removed the auxiliary refreshment stand on the 2nd floor. I posted a few photos of the theatre and I have old photos which I put up a few years ago.

RealD 3D in screens 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. But Regal shows less 3D shows then they use to. Also, they compete with the Cinemart Cinemas and AMC Fresh Meadows that has recliners.
Remember, a few years ago, The Midway, Cinemart and Kew Gardens play the same films now.
Also, the big money making theatres Union Square and Sheepshead Bay won’t get recliners anytime soon.
I had posted a few photos a couple of years ago of the theatre when it was with the UA Midway prior to the renovation and a preview seats of the new recliners. Haven’t been there since 2017 when I use to live in Forest Hills.
The seating capacity are:
1. 69
2. 78
3. 90
4. 67
Theatres 1 to 4 are on the main floor
5. 78
6. 48
7. 48
8. 39
9. 70
Theatres 5 to 9 are on the second floor (theatres 5 and 9 are the old balcony)
Update:
Theatre 4 last day will be this Thursday, January 2. No films scheduled in the auditorium after Thursday showing of 1917 and Uncut Gems.
Regal took down the Union Square 14 from the outside marquee and replace it with just Regal. (see the photos section)
According to the theatre managemnt, theatre 17 is slated to be RPX. When I saw Star Wars, it was the only screen upstairs with Blue Lighting, but Regal was in a rush to open the screen, it waiting to convert it to RPX.
Also, theatre 5 4DX, they added 20 more seats to the capacity. They moved the entrance about a few feet to the right.
@jsbreezy Theatre 17 was correct as you said, it almost like screen 8 and 1 at the AMC Empire, full stadium seating. The screen was big, no masking.
Tentatively, going to see 1917 in screen 4 before it closes next year. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to sit in the balcony where I saw most of I my films, including “Enemy Of The State” and “Hurricane”. Out of the screens Regal pick for 1917, screen 4 is the biggest screen and the others are in the smaller houses. Hopefully, screen 9 is good. Did you hear if Union Square is getting RPX, that was a rumor I heard at another Regal location I visited.
On Friday, December 20, theatre 17 (old theatre 8 balcony) opens, seating capacity 288. Hopefully, it’s a decent screen when “Star Wars” premieres. Hope to see the auditorium soon.
Posted in the photos section the film scene from A Marriage Story which was filmed at a AMC Theatre. Unfortunately, AMC refuses to show Netflix movies.
You could watch this trailer witch is currently playing at Regal. It was filmed on the 2nd level of Union Square and filmed in the old balcony of theatre 8.
