Author Topic: NYC Regal theaters are now UA Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 07-11-2001 04:52 PM                     Regal has turned over its three New York City locations -- Battery Park City (Manhattan), Court Street (Brooklyn), Kaufman Astoria (Queens) -- to United Artists. All three opened in the past 2 years to lots of hype. Battery Park City and Court Street have done poorly per press reports. UA has also picked up a Regal location in New Jersey (Columbia Park) that opened in the same time frame. Any hints on whether other Regals may end up with UA?  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 07-13-2001 05:55 PM                    isn't united artists part of the phil what's his name who is gaining control of edwards along with some Regals. I do know that Cinemark has been aquireing regal theaters in texas. If this is true could it be a shift in revenues to a different company...who knows.  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 11-14-2001 07:09 AM                     Bringing it back for an update. That megaplex Regal was building in Staten Island (NYC)? It's been turned over to UA and opens for Harry Potter. With this move Regal is now completely out of NYC.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 11-14-2001 11:57 AM                     I'm confused!! If this guy owns Regal and UA, why turn Regal theatres into UA theatres? What difference does it make? But are they still separate companies?  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 11-14-2001 02:09 PM                     Ken: UA and Regal are separate companies. However, UA is long established in NYC and Regal was a newcomer. UA also is more aggressive with upmarket/arthouse product.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-21-2001 01:44 AM                        Since no one else has brought it up, Loews Cineplex is now owned by Philip Anchwitz (sp) and oaktree Capital Management  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 11-21-2001 11:24 AM                     Sean: The Anschutz Cos. and Oaktree Capital are not involved with Loews. Canada-based Onex Corp. controls Loews AFAIK.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-22-2001 02:09 AM                        You are correct, my mistake.  |  IP: Logged
