“The work calls for removal of the Regency Theatres—which began a downward slide during the pandemic and never fully recovered—and the construction of new stores, restaurants and up to 119 apartment homes at two different sites on the 25-acre property just east of the Calabasas civic center.”
Regal announces new lease agreement at Sherman Oaks Galleria
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – The 16-screen Sherman Oaks Galleria theatre will continue operating as a Regal property following entry into a new lease agreement with the owner. The Regal theatre is the only structure left standing from the original Sherman Oaks Galleria mall, which was transformed into today’s modern open-air, mixed-use facility in 2002.
“The new agreement between Regal and Douglas Emmett allows movies to continue playing at one of Los Angeles' sacred entertainment sites,” stated Mooky Greidinger, CEO of Cineworld, parent company of Regal. “We are excited not only to preserve the legacy of Sherman Oaks Galleria but also to update this theatre with the latest advancements in the movie-going experience. Soon our guests will be able to enjoy movies in IMAX, 4DX and ScreenX at Regal Sherman Oaks Galleria cinema.”
The 5/9 PhillyVoice confirms the Warner facade will be part of “The Hook” , which will entertain visitors each week with an international cast of adult-comedy hosts, acrobats and variety artists from around the world, as well as a new restaurant and cocktail bars.

Spring of 2025 looks to be the date for “the Silver”, next to the Roxy Lofts. Advertisements along Sansom Street are in a one sheet motif.

so Amazon is considering buying just this location or the entire chain?
Currently only offering shows in the evening, weekends are matinees.
Tuesdays is a ‘discount’ day and reduced prices for children 3-13
All screens are Dolby Digital.

If I can make an off the wall suggestion…
Go to the theatre and try to find out what the problem was?
Can’t be good for ones mental and physical health obsessing over something for 4 ½ years.
yeah, nothing like having some outsider telling them how to run their business.
