The Regal Cinema Santa Cruz 9 in Santa Cruz, California has closed.
KION News Channel 5/46 published an article about the theater's closure recently:
The Regal Cinemas in downtown Santa Cruz has closed for good.
The city says the theater chain pulled out because of the tough economic times brought on by the pandemic. The closures are part of a bigger trend among movie theaters nationally, after COVID-19 restrictions all but dried up their revenues.
:
While the pandemic has impacted all parts of the economy, the City of Santa Cruz says movies theaters and entertainment venues are hit especially hard with purple tier restrictions keeping theaters from any business at all.
The building itself now has this obstacle to overcome. Back in the 90s, it became an important part of the post-Loma Prieta Earthquake recovery.
"So it was part of the key for the revitalization of downtown," said Bonnie Lipscomb, the Santa Cruz economic development director.
But like any good Hollywood blockbuster, there is a sequel being planned: the owners of the building are already trying to find a new theater operator to keep the movies rolling.

Opened in 1995 by Signature Theatres as the Santa Cruz Cinema 9. It was taken over by Regal Cinemas in 2004 and named Regal Cinemas Santa Cruz 9.
Moviegoers in the area will need to visit one of the other nearby theaters, including the Del Mar Theatre and the Nickelodeon Theatre in Santa Cruz.
