A massive cinema company now closes a major location after 30 years in West Virginia — it showed its last film on January 12.
The Regal Cinema 13 in Greenbrier has closed after nearly three decades of entertaining filmgoers, reports The-Sun.
The Virginian-Pilot said, “The 13-screen movie theater, owned by British company Cineworld, closed after showing its last film on January 12.
“Located across from Greenbrier Mall in Chesapeake, the theater has been a mainstay in the community for almost 30 years since opening in 1995.”
One fan wrote, “Saw a lot of movies here growing up, sad to see it close!”
Another said, “Damn, I just read an article that Regal Cinema Greenbrier 13 shut their doors for good. Damn, I had so many great memories from that place.”
And one more noted: “You will be missed.”
Meanwhile, on Facebook a user wrote, “RIP Regal Cinema in Greenbrier, VA.
“Though I didn’t see many films there, you bring some touching memories for me.
“Saw Captain America: The First Avenger, Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, and the first two Creed movies in that theater.”
But, he remained hopeful for the site’s future, adding, “It’s always sad to see a movie theater go, but maybe one day someone can bring it back!”
Confusingly, Regal’s website still shows the theater as being opened on its website.
However, when clicking on the link, it takes readers to a message saying, “Well this is a reel problem. It looks like this page has popped out for a bit, but we can usher you to a new seat,” reports The-Sun.
“The theater itself had been thrown a temporary lifeline – as it was originally marked for closure early last year.
It stayed open for an extra 11 months, finally shutting its doors just last week.”
