Any news on how this is doing since Regal took over? Are they getting any of the good pictures or is AMC hogging them all over at the Boston Commons?
Regal recently added a couple plasma screens into the lobby, I noticed some other screen type thing being built in the lobby today. The concession stand is another thing Regal wants to redo. Apparently the building is “extremely run down” according to Regal standards. Will keep you guys posted on other changes.
I love that at this point in Boston the AMC Theatre has “LOEWS” signage on it, and the Regal Cinema has an “AMC THEATRES” sign on it!
Regal is putting money in to the theater? Are they re-paint/wall paper everything to coordinate with the Regal colors like they did at Union Square and at Brass Mill Center in Waterbury, CT? I can’t imagine this theater is run down, General Cinema built theaters in such a way that I don’t think they ever looked run down, I imagine its simular to Clifton Commons in New Jersey, which is still in great shape and AMC (which hasn’t really put any money in to remodeling theaters) only installed new carpeting in theaters.
Regal’s own ads (which appeared in last weekend’s Boston Herald) called it the “Fenway Stadium 13”. In a similar vein, Regal took over the E-Walk in Times Square, NYC also last week and it is now referred in ads as the “Regal E-walk Stadium 13”. It was previously known as the E-Walk 13 or just the E-Walk when Loews (and later AMC) had it.
I guess Regal likes to put the “stadium” in there to differentiate from it’s conventional seating theatres.
I concur with dwodweyla though, if only for the sake of clarity.
Like Joen05 said, the official name is “Regal Fenway Stadium 13”.
I think changing it to simply “Fenway 13” covers all the bases on this one. They can list “Regal” under the chain info.
CinemaTreasures generally prefers to call theatres by their current name. I’m just trying to figure out what it is. The Globe ad doesn’t include the word Stadium in the name.
I would personally rather not rename it. It is officially called the Regal Fenway Stadium 13. There is no interactive voice recording, yet. Regal is actually putting money into the theatre, but crew morale is pretty low right now. It doesn’t seem “fun” anymore, but we’ll see what happens when the bigwigs leave.
but in the Globe, it’s the “Regal Fenway 13”. The Globe ad still includes the website www.moviewatcher.com which is obviously wrong.
When I try to phone the theatre, it just rings, no answer.
Let’s wait another day or two before renaming it here at CinemaTreasures.
According to their ad in today’s Boston Herald, Regal Entertainment is calling this cinema the “Fenway Stadium 13”.
Ah well….Best of luck to the REGAL Fenway 13.
I’m still kind of surprised that Redstone didn’t snatch this up. I guess that the Circle is going to stick around a little while longer.
Haha, that definitely provided a needed chuckle. I hope my experience is better than that, I know AMC, even being all corporate , wasn’t quite like that….
Let’s hope your experience is better than this guy in Seattle.
I did take pictures of the place with all the signage still up. I hope this place doesn’t get run into the ground as I’ll be staying on with Regal for now. Never thought that one theatre would change hands so many times. I’ll be in today, and will post later on what changes are like.
Today’s Boston Globe ad for AMC Fenway just says:
CLOSED TODAY!
OPENS TOMORROW AS REGAL CINEMAS!
Also, yesterday’s ad had no showtimes after 7:50 pm.
It’s been open a little over six years, and it’s already on its third owner.
Take pictures of the place so you can remember what it was. Whatever Regal is paying for it is probably the last money that will be put into it – they’ll run it into the ground same as they have done with their theatres in New York.
I should add that the theatre will be closed on Sept 14th in order to facilitate some training of employees.
Yeah, its been 9 months of just waiting for this to happen. I worked at the Fenway with AMC, and I’ll be staying on with Regal. I’ve been impressed with this building since I first visited it, and transferred there when the opportunity came with AMC. Both GCC and AMC did a great job with this theatre, winning Best of Boston several times even with the more amenity-laden Boston Common Theatre nearby. Its a shame, I liked AMC, but we will see if Regal can continue the tradition. Best of Boston went to the Commons this year, but I suspect that was due to the anticipation of this sale to finally go through, there were many logistical issues.
I stopped by the theatre today and talked to some employees. They said it would close early tomorrow evening so that they could change the signage.
Today’s Boston Globe reports that Regal is buying the Fenway 13, effective this Friday.
I agree with you. However, I get that everytime I visit an AMC or Showcase too. Seems like the theatre owner’s just don’t understand what turns off the customer.
Because everything I’ve ever read about them here at CinemaTreasures, or at CinemaTour, is awful. Sounds like they bombard the audience with 20 minutes of unwanted loud commercials before each show. We don’t need that here in Boston.
Why?
Regal has theatres in the far exurbs of Boston, places called Bellingham and Berlin and Kingston and Westboro. I’d hate to see them invade the city.
