NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Regal New Roc City in New Rochelle is shutting down tonight.
A manager of the facility said the theater will shut down as of tonight and plans to re-open in February.
Cineworld, parent company of Regal, recently announced it would resume operations at 11 Regal theaters in New York state on October 23rd.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced last month that that movie theaters outside of New York City could reopen at 25 percent capacity with certain conditions.
The Regal theaters had been closed since March.
The locations opened in October were:
- Regal Colonie Center in Albany
- Regal Crossgates Mall in Albany
- Regal Walden Galleria in Buffalo
- Regal Quaker Crossing in Orchard Park
- Regal Deer Park in Deer Park
- Regal Lynbrook in Lynbrook
- Regal New Roc City in New Rochelle
- Regal Galleria Mall in Poughkeepsie
- Regal Destiny USA in Syracuse
- Regal Eastview in Victor
- Regal UA Westbury in Westbury
Mooky Greidinger, CEO of Cineworld said in October they were “sure that the next step will be opening of cinemas in New York City, which is still critical for the recovery of the industry.”
Regal says it will continue to monitor the situation closely and will communicate any plans to resume operations in other markets at the appropriate time.
