I have loaded 3 pictures of the r-opening day 1967. which will help with discription
The tripled cinema actually reopened in 1980, not 1975.
I am seriously considering re-opening this up again as a cinema, could anyone give any advice on making it successful, i am not looking at it to make me rich, but obviously it isn’t cheap to run, wages, etc so any pointers would be most beneficial
The cinema is still dark, as of December 2006, with no live plans to revive it.
The new cinema (Meridian Parkway in Cleethorpes) is further away than the editorial suggests – perhaps 15 minutes through urban traffic by car, but over an hour’s walk away.
The latest report in the Cinema Theatre Association ‘Bulletin’– Sept/Oct 2005 quotes from a Grimsby Telegraph article dated 4th August 2005 that; the building has been sold and the new landlord is looking to lease the disused triple cinema. An operator from the area is said to be interested.
Can anybody tell me what happened to the odeon Grimsby after it closed,is it still standing or has it reopened. thanks brian
Built for Associated British Cinemas (ABC), the original seating capacity of the Regal Cinema when it first opened on 4th December 1937 was 1,966 seats (1,280 in the stalls and 686 in the balcony).
When the building was first sub-divided into a supermarket in the former stalls area and an ABC Cinema in the former balcony it had a seating capacity of 1,231 seats.
