Standard mid 80’s to early 90’s era Edwards multiplex layout, with 90’s era decorating flurishes. However, unlike most of it’s era peers, the RSM6 has managed to remain in “mint” condition; walk in to the theatre today and you are seeing the venue much as it was on opening day.

While this theatre was once an area hot spot, with no direct competition, it has lost much of it’s customer base to the Foothill Ranch 22. Currently (08'), operating with a skeleton staff and reduced weekday show schedule, one must speculate that this theatre’s days are numbered within the Regal Entertainment Group fold.
