This was 1 of 2 theatres Redstone Theatres [National Amusements] opened on 12/7/1979, the other being the Amboy Multiplex Cinemas in Sayerville, NJ [Ad listed that theatre as Amboy Cinemas]

The original owner of the Regent Theatre was The Stanley Company of America, owned by Jules E. and Stanley V. Mastbaum.

Regal Union Square Stadium 17 is no longer advertising the fact they have a RPX Screen on their website. They are advertising this theatre as Regal Union Square ScreenX & 4DX.
