The Regina opened on 1 April 1957 with High Society. New photos as the Omniplex posted today.
I remember the Regina having three screens. The biggest one was on the first floor – Regina Palace. Then there was the Pullman on the ground floor with the appropriately-named Mini on the return. Closed in 1993.
Press ads in 1976 for Regina 1 & 2 so already two screens by then.
