Ok I am confused. Is the above photo a new photo or an old one. In looking throught the photos I saw on that showed the marquee totally gone and a new front for the Rock Church.

Snow White and The Huntsman opens June 1 in digital.It has never been unusual for theaters to close for a few weeks. When I lived in NYC in the late 70’s and early 80’s they did it all the time.I remember they played New York New York from Memorial day weekend until the Thursday before labor day and than closed and had nothing for labor day weekend. They reopened a few weeks later.

Mikeoaklandpark commented about Regal Governor's Square Stadium 12 on May 14, 2012 at 12:56 pm

It didn’t say REgal. I went to Tally many times between 1986 and 1990. There was a UA theater that operated as a $1.00 discount house, a theater in a small mall and a theater operated by Eastern Federal theaters right near the Governors mall. I don’t find any of these listed here on CT.

I can’t believe they didn’t do a good business. Midnight In Paris played there last year for over 6 months. These big chain theaters really suck closing all the good single screen theaters.

It will be interesting to see if this theater will add digital projection or fold. I hope they invest and add the digital.

The 12 screens hey have open are all in the food court. The original 4 from GCC were in the back of the mall.

They are very good for closing some of ths screens in theaters they purchase. The closed the lower 4 theaters at the Las Olas Riverfront theater in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. It was originally 23 screens when opened by Regal in the late 90’s Regal eventually closed 8 of the screens in the lower section including the largest one. Now Frank has closed the remaining 4 lower screens
