Regal Boulevard Centre — Attraction in Niles

No respect for Godzilla Minus One. Minus One was supposed to have a limited American theatrical release but it was extended week after week because it did so well and was breaking box office records. It was already the biggest Japanese live-action movie in domestic box office history and dominating garbage movies like trolls, Wish, and the Marvels. Despite this, I noticed that week after week there was nothing on the movie marquee outside the theater to show that m Minus One was playing. No posters... nothing. Same thing inside the theater. I called to ask about this and the employees stated that they get an email from Regal Cinema corporate telling them which movies to promote on the Marquee and in and around the theater. I asked to talk to the manager and the manager said she did not find it strange that despite the record success of Godzilla Minus One, there was no decision made to appropriately display the movie on the marquee. Corporate Hollywood Cinema is afraid of Godzilla Minus One. And it should be. Audiences are sick and tired of the garbage that keeps getting turned out from the likes of Disney and others. Minus One cost under $15 million to make and yet it looks and performs far better than Hollywood movies that cost over $200 million. Audiences are sick of having elitist views crammed down our throat from people who have no respect for the story or original intellectual properties that they are handling. Audiences crave great Cinema like Godzilla minus one. Stop trying...

When we got to the movie people were in our seats when asked to move they refused trying to avoid a petty argument and confrontation our party found a new row with no one sitting there at all. Soon as the movie gets started two people who were in the theater before us seated in someone else's seats some over an demand that we move. The movie was rolling so we were not going to move the woman said they were kicked our of the seats that they STOLE from other people and they sat there through all the credits knowing they were not supposed to be there. So they go get the manager and that is when Jamie came in demanding tickets, accusing us of not booking seats which we did someone just took them. As a manager this is not how you problem solve and resolve a conflict. She was condescending, threatening and a liar. Even when trying to clear up the issue after the movie she was defensive and dismissive and refused to listen to our side. Had these people been seated where they paid for instead of stealing other people seats we would have just sat elsewhere. Its funny how other movie theaters do not have this issue people just sit where they are supposed to and do not act like children. But since Regal cannot get it together maybe they should have someone to seat people and check to make sure people are seated where they are supposed to be. This is what happens when you go to the movies while being a person of color you are automatically wrong and not even corporate...

-concession is overpriced

-seats are uncomfortable

both of the latter I have always overlooked. I mean it's a movie theater sometimes you'll have that. What I couldn't overlook was this:

As far back as I could remember, Growing up in Niles, movie premiers were at Regal Cinema 14. Premiers were always a cosplay event. Whether it was Darth Vader for Star Wars or the Joker or Two Face for Batman, it was a time for you to dress up in celebration of something you love and enjoy it with friends. That is until the Purge Anarchy. As per our usual, my friends and I got dressed up on release night and went off to see the next film in the Purge franchise. only this movie fell after James Holmes walked into theatre number 9 in Aurora during the premier of the Dark Knight Rises. Since then Regal Cinemas has adopted a no costumes policy. Even though My friends and I showed our faces in front of the cameras, and even though James Holmes was not in costume at all aside from his badly dyed hair, we were informed that this time honored tradition was now banned from Regal Cinemas, ruining the midnight premier for everyone. Regal Cinemas has let one person ruin something that has been part of the movie going tradition for generations of film loving fans, thus letting the bad guys win, and adding to this new America where fear is the basis of losing...
