Regal Cinemas In OC, Calabasas, To Close As Parent Company Restructures

Three Regal Cinemas Across Socal Are Expected To Close.

Three Regal Cinemas locations in Southern California will close as part of the parent company's reorganization following its bankruptcy filing earlier this month, the Orange County Register reported.

The Anaheim Hills 14 on Santa Ana Road and Westpark 8 in Irvine have already closed, as some moviegoers found out when they showed up to see a movie with tickets purchased online, CBS 2 News reported. The Calabasas Stadium 6 is also expected to close.
