I went to the IMAX website because the IMAX here is closed currently and I discovered that it is being upgraded to IMAX laser finally an IMAX laser theater near me.
I find it sad that some Regal theatres even those that opened like 10 years ago are closing but on the bright side for movie goers in Nampa ID there’s always the Edwards Nampa Stadium 14.
01261967 I saw The Incredibile Hulk there in June of 2008 too I have seen many if not many movies here back when it was a Pacific and an Arclight it is sad to see it go but I hope that at least Regal Cinemas will do a major renovation to this theater with adding Premium Formats like RPX Screen X and 4DX.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/amc-theatres-nears-deal-to-operate-prime-l-a-pacific-cinema-locations-1234968531/ It turns out that AMC is about to take over I hope it will have Dolby Cinema or AMC Prime
This theater was used as an stand in for a 7 screen movie theater in the Diane Lane movie ¨The Glass House¨ where Leelee Sobieski was seeing an slasher movie.
That is the 3rd time this theater closed well there is always the AMC Northpark 15 and Cinemark 17 since I have to say are better theatres since I don’t see the point of The Grand being opened again since Northpark and Cinemark 17 both have IMAX (Northpark has IMAX Laser) and Northpark has Dolby Cinema.
Here’s some good news Phoenix Theatres will be taking over this theater and possibly keeping the IMAX screen and converting the Dolby Cinema into a PTX Screen
I have driven by this theater when my family goes to visit my grandfather in Laguna Woods.

Plus I hope they add in premium formats like Screen X and 4DX
Hooray! I was right.

It said that this theater was set to be closed yesterday but however its still showing movies.
I lived near Oakland from mid to late 2001 to mid 2004 and I have seen some movies here but I can´t name them.

Like I said before Heartbreaking! but this theater has had a good run.
@jwmovies This theater just got a nice remodel and now this location is set to close permanently after 26 years Heartbreaking.
They added an Screen X screen 6 months ago and now 6 months later it closed what a waste of money.

That is great news I hope it will have RPX, 4DX and ScreenX
That is so sad I sure hope AMC, Regal, or Cinemark will at least take over those theaters I hope.
