Big Changes at Regal Cinemas
[Philip Lelyveld comment: The immediate-future no-brainer answer to what they'll show is computer-generated images that match up with the mainstream feature on the main screen - since it doesn't pay to shoot 3 screens for such a small installed based. (Maze Runner I and II). Down the road think more creatively - Abel Gance's Napoleon triptychs.]
On Friday, April 1, the 14-screen complex will get the unwieldy name Regal L.A. Live: A Barco Innovation Center (no, it’s not an April Fool’s joke), with four key changes. The most significant is the turning of one of the theaters into the “Barco Escape,” which touts three screens in a panoramic layout for a more immersive viewing experience. Additionally, the lobby will be overhauled with a bevy of digital screens, new lighting and interactive displays. The complex is getting Barco laser projectors, initially in two theaters, with the remainder being upgraded later this year. The auditoriums’ sound systems are similarly being replaced by Barco and Auro Technologies products. The April 1 change will be marked by a block party with a DJ, street performers and more. Bonus: Anyone who purchases tickets for movies starting at 6 p.m. or later on April 1 gets a voucher for a small popcorn and small fountain drink.
