RealD 3D in screens 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. But Regal shows less 3D shows then they use to. Also, they compete with the Cinemart Cinemas and AMC Fresh Meadows that has recliners.

Remember, a few years ago, The Midway, Cinemart and Kew Gardens play the same films now.

Also, the big money making theatres Union Square and Sheepshead Bay won’t get recliners anytime soon.

I had posted a few photos a couple of years ago of the theatre when it was with the UA Midway prior to the renovation and a preview seats of the new recliners. Haven’t been there since 2017 when I use to live in Forest Hills.

Update: Theatre 4 last day will be this Thursday, January 2. No films scheduled in the auditorium after Thursday showing of 1917 and Uncut Gems.

Regal took down the Union Square 14 from the outside marquee and replace it with just Regal. (see the photos section)

According to the theatre managemnt, theatre 17 is slated to be RPX. When I saw Star Wars, it was the only screen upstairs with Blue Lighting, but Regal was in a rush to open the screen, it waiting to convert it to RPX.

Also, theatre 5 4DX, they added 20 more seats to the capacity. They moved the entrance about a few feet to the right.

@jsbreezy Theatre 17 was correct as you said, it almost like screen 8 and 1 at the AMC Empire, full stadium seating. The screen was big, no masking.

Tentatively, going to see 1917 in screen 4 before it closes next year. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to sit in the balcony where I saw most of I my films, including “Enemy Of The State” and “Hurricane”. Out of the screens Regal pick for 1917, screen 4 is the biggest screen and the others are in the smaller houses. Hopefully, screen 9 is good. Did you hear if Union Square is getting RPX, that was a rumor I heard at another Regal location I visited.

On Friday, December 20, theatre 17 (old theatre 8 balcony) opens, seating capacity 288. Hopefully, it’s a decent screen when “Star Wars” premieres. Hope to see the auditorium soon.

From Newday.comBy Tory N. Parrish @ToryParrish1 Updated November 1, 2019 11:38 AM PRINT SHARE Movie theater owner Jay Levinson is getting ready for a new arrival.

He will repaint the walls, upgrade the marquee and replace the carpet at his 1960s-era, four-screen theater, Elwood Quad, in East Northport in a few months. He also plans to lower ticket prices.

The new arrival he’s preparing for isn’t a blockbuster movie.

Credit: Newsday / Steve Pfost It’s the new AMC Huntington Square 12, a state-of-the-art, 12-screen theater with reclining seats and stadium seating that will open at a former Sears department store site in East Northport — less than a mile from Elwood Quad — by the end of the year.

“We are concerned,“ said Levinson, who also owns the Bellmore Playhouse, a seven-screen movie theater that is about 20 years old. “When AMC opens, it’s going to be at least a 15% drop. It could be more,” he said.

The number of independent and small-chain movie theaters has been shrinking for years as they lose customers to large chains with more theater amenities, subscription-based online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu, and other entertainment options.

Long Island’s independent operators also cite the costs of the rising minimum wage and high taxes, utilities, rent and movie studio fees.

“I believe that the independent theaters will always be there. But there’s not many of us left,” Levinson said.

Long Island had a total of 40 movie theaters in 2018, down 21.6 percent from 51 in 2001, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Nationwide during the same period, the number declined 9.9 percent to 4,370 movie theaters, according to the bureau.

Most of the movie theaters in the United States are mom-and-pop operations, but four large chains — AMC Entertainment Inc., Cineworld Group PLC (owner of Regal), Cinemark Holdings Inc. and The Marcus Corp. — account for about 55 percent of revenue, according to Patrick Corcoran, spokesman for the National Association of Theatre Owners, a Washington, D.C.-based trade group.

AMC, the largest operator in the United States, has seven theaters on Long Island, including a 17-screen, 21-year-old venue in Stony Brook that it plans to renovate next year.

The company’s new East Northport theater “will be a state-of-the-art, brand-new movie theater where people can expect the best that AMC has to offer,” said Ryan Noonan, a spokesman for Leawood, Kansas-based AMC.

In June 2018, Regal opened its ninth Long Island theater — a $30 million, 13-screen venue in Lynbrook on the site of its closed six-screen theater that opened in 1922 and was demolished in 2016.

The new theater features reclining seats with electronic controls, stadium seating and kiosks for self-service ticketing. Knoxville, Tennessee-based Regal Cinemas is the second-largest theater operator.

New theaters have an average of eight to 12 screens, Corcoran said.
