I have heard (unconfirmed) rumors that the Greenwood Plaza 12 will be closed next year when the Hollywood theater opens in the nearby redeveloped Southglenn shopping center.
Here are some facts. The complex will hold 3,000 moviegoers.Two theatres with 70mm,Dolby Surround Sound,Dolby Digital sound available for select films.Each cinema will offer Cup holder armrests,When it opened in May 1992 it was Denver’s most Technically Sophisticated motion picture theatre,According to United Artist press release to BOXOFFICE July 1992.
I worked for the Sattellite Theatre Network, a project begun by UA Theatres in the 1990s. The Greenwood Plaza was our laboratory as well. The first digital projector in a Denver theatre was installed here – you can catch a glimpse of it in this video shot in the Greenwood projection booth in the mid-1990s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vImi-neXo4I
I seem to remember someone from the Proteus Network (later renamed Satellite Theater Network) being named Kevin. There was another guy, too. Maybe his name was Tim? I was a projectionist at the theater during that time. The Youtube video in the post above was shot and posted by me. We had the big Hughes JVC projector and eventually got a Barco as well. I think at one time we had 2 Barcos plus the JCV/Hughes. I have a different video of a live UA telecast about their 401K program.
Yes, JRed, that was me (Kevin) along with Tim Rust. We spent a lot of time at Greenwood in the middle 1990s with UA’s Satellite Theatre Network – a forerunner of today’s National Cinemedia and Fathom Events (see the marquee shot advertising a Fathom opera event). First pictures of the theater posted in the Photo section.
Regal is renovating and reopening this one.
Reopened as an Cinebarre dine-in with 6 screens in June 2019 https://villagerpublishing.com/regal-cinebarre-opens-in-greenwood-plaza/
Three area Regal movie theaters are closed Business News, Local / By The Villager / April 20, 2023 BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER
The few people in this area who still like to go to the movies got a jolt last week when they discovered that three formerly-popular Regal theaters were permanently closed.
Shuttered are the Regal Continental at 3635 S. Monaco Street Parkway in Denver, the Regal Cinebarre Greenwood Plaza at 8141 E. Arapahoe Road in Greenwood Village Entertainment District, and the Regal Meadows at 9355 Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree.
The Continental had been open for over 50 years and included an extra-large auditorium that was popular for important movie premieres and those that had special sound effects. Its last day of business was April 13.2023
The Cinebarre was a concept that Regal introduced at that location a few years ago after the theater lost a lot of its business to the Landmark Theater (when popcorn and soda there were complimentary) and the Regal Southglenn. The Landmark drew lots of adults and Southglenn drew many of the younger people who also liked the amenities of the outdoor mall at Streets of Southglenn. Cinebarre offered a limited menu of food that could be eaten at one’s seat but it was awkward to eat there and ordering popcorn from a waitperson was also different. We went there at 5:00 p.m. on April 14 to find out if it was still open. As we came up, a staff member in uniform was walking into work at the theater when the manager opened the door and told her and us that it had closed.
It’s unclear when the Meadows Theater closed but one need only try to pull up showtimes there to see that it is gone. It doesn’t even show up on the list of theaters on Regal’s own website that still lists the Continental and Cinebarre, which both say, “We don’t currently have any screenings that match your selections.”
We reported on January 26 that our review of documents filed in the bankruptcy case of Regal’s parent company, Cineworld, indicated that the Meadows and Southglenn theaters were planned to be closed February 1. We wondered why Southglenn would be closed with approved plans for over 900 new residential to be built at the Streets of Southglenn in addition to the over 200 that are already there? Apparently, plans changed because that theater is still open and operating with new first-run movies.
We visited the AMC Arapahoe Crossings theater at 6696 S. Parker Road in Centennial this past weekend to see a movie. It was hopping, even felt like pre-pandemic days. We asked an employee if business had picked up. He gave us a wide smile and said, “Definitely.”
In Case You Missed It: Regal Cinemas Closed Four Colorado Locations POSTED BY Bryan If you haven’t been to the movies in quite some time, this may be “news” to you. The definition of “going to the movies” has definitely changed since the pandemic. Before COVID-19, many went to the movies on a regular basis. However, now, most prefer to watch movies at home for a variety of reasons, but mostly because it’s more convenient, less expensive and safer.
The change in how movies are now experienced and distributed has had a direct impact on theater chains, especially on getting people to actually fill the physical seats. Unfortunately, it means many locations have shuttered.
Over the past few years, Regal Cinemas has closed four of its Colorado locations.
Regal Cinemas has permanently closed the following locations:
Contintental Stadium 10 & RPX in Denver — Closed in April 2023
Regal Cinebarre Greenwood Plaza in Englewood — Closure date unknown
Regal UA Denver West Village Stadium 12 in Lakewood — Closed in September 2021
UA Meadows Stadium 12 in Littleton— Closed in June 2023
Please update, CLOSED on April 13, 2023, the theatre name when it closed was the Regal Cinebarre Greenwood Plaza
