Correction: The mega IMAX for Regal Entertainment Group are as follows:

Hacienda Crossings 21 Dublin River Park 19 Fresno Valencia Town Center 12 Santa Clarita Grand Palace 22 Ontario (actual name from Edwards) Towne Center 26 Long Beach Spectrum Center 20 Irvine (also actual name) Mira Mesa 18 at the Market Center San Diego (also actual nane)

Please note West Covina at the Lakes and Corona Crossings both 18 screens ARE NOT IMAX. AT. ALL.

I put this list together to clear up any confusion,,, Actually talked to Jim Edwards himself!πŸ˜πŸ˜ƒπŸ€£πŸ€£

Contray to popular belief, THIS IS NOT DEMOLISHED JUST CLOSED AND THE ADDRESS IS VERY WRONG! 🀬

Well folks it looks like this is end of the road for this one! It was a great quarter of a century but all good things must come to an end! Hint: The Villages are closer to Topanga.

Per media reports, THIS LOCATION WILL CLOSE PERMANENTLY! 😫😫πŸ₯Ί

The AMC Topanga 12 w/IMAX will open before Labor Day at the old Sears Topanga and this will close for redevelopement…As for Northridge STAY TUNED!

GREAT NEWS!

ShowPlace ICON at Oakbrook 14 will open sometime in 2023! Laguna Hills and Lake Forest/El Toro desperately needs this! No more Aliso Viejo Town Center or Foothill Ranch or Irvine Spectrum. πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜

jwmovies commented about Orinda Theatre on May 1, 2022 at 6:00 pm

Uh oh! Looks like the end could be near! πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ˜«πŸ˜«

Per Orinda Theatre website, they are now putting on concerts (NOT a good look see UC in Berkeley for more information)

They’ve set up a Go Fund Me page too! πŸ˜”πŸ˜” That’s not reassuring either! With Cal and Oaks in Berkeley gone, local theaters are drying up! You talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel! Lamorinda is home to world famous St. Mary’s basketball team! YIU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS PEOPLE! 🀬🀬

jwmovies commented about United Artists 6 on Mar 28, 2022 at 3:35 am

I saw The Wiz here in November ‘78! It was 5 screens then. 3 shoebox on one side and 1 shoebox and a larger theatre on the other side. Later the restrooms became 2 cinemas and #1 and #2 became 1 for a total of 6 screens. Actually a nice theater comparison to UA Berkeley (yuck!).

jwmovies commented about Metro Theatre on Mar 22, 2022 at 11:56 pm

I saw Dangerous Liaisons here in 1988! Wonderful memories. UA did a better job in upkeep than the Col Alex or Coronet! Spacious yet comfortable. Employees swore it was like a second home. I MISS YOU METROPOLITAN!

jwmovies commented about Coliseum Theatre on Mar 22, 2022 at 11:39 pm

Ah just like the old Cinema 21! At least the top floor is a movie theater AKA Marina instead of stupid expensive townhomes. Isn’t that what everything SOMA is there for? 😍😍

jwmovies commented about Century Plaza 10 on Mar 20, 2022 at 7:54 pm

Sorry Joe! Correction: Ray Syufy was sole owner of Century Theaters. You'rs referring to his cousins the Naifys that owned UA or the Eneas that owned the drive ins that Lippert or Syufy didn’t own.

BTW I know this because I was a manager for Ray. Met him att Golden Gate Avenue SF offices in ‘85.

That’s where the confusion lies…😁😁😁

jwmovies commented about UA Tanforan 4 Cinemas on Mar 20, 2022 at 7:46 pm

Like Cinedome Fremont, Meridian Quad, Alexandria SF and Festival in Walnut Creek, this was one of the best AND worst theaters I’ve been to ever! Wonderful times!😍😍😍
