Regency Academy Cinemas

Let’s see. Not only was the Academy 6 my first place of gainful employment, but I was a customer for 25 years, until this weekend! You lost my business and my partner too. We don’t like that even though we visited Twice this weekend, both times we were made to feel singled out and harassed. After all this time. Her purse was asked to be searched for what?! I can’t imagine….. except that She’s Hispanic and the employee was a young white guy that asked her and he did not ask anyone else to see their purse….. Hmm, Okay. When he asked we both felt confused and insulted. There was no cause for asking us to do that. No explanation either. It seems we were singled out. But why??? Sunday we came back and nobody was asked to open any bags. Double standard. We watched as She noticed the previous night no one else was subject to a personal search. Overall, a Foreboding feeling from staff in general, same guy had to bother us Sunday and ask us to take our feet down. He Came twice!!!!! Then another guy in a white shirt came with a flash light and checked something on the ground for no reason. If I were your company I would not be PICKING on your guests. I don’t have to spend my money here and I won’t anymore. This type of racist crap is going to stop!!!! No other movie theaters, Regal, AMC, New Beverly Cinema, they don’t act like this. You should have more appreciation for your customers and maybe have an employee sensitivity training. It’s not ok to single people out for no good reason. This pattern we see is a passing phase. It will take care of itself, but people should know. I bet we aren’t the first.

Theater was dirty. Trash can overflowing, crumbs all on the floor as if noone cleaned in between movies. I had my family sit on the blankets we brought. Could barely hear the movie very minimal volume & a bright hall light. I could not enjoy the movie. I get its a cheaper theater but cleanliness is still a necessity.

Great theater for families on a budget. Great first run movies and special showing of classic money.
Also parking is available for only $3:00 dollars. Also, affordable concession stands for refreshments and the best popcorn!

I really like this place. For showing current films, the tickets are about as affordable as it gets, and the snacks are still some of the lowest cost you'll find at any theater. And they taste great! The pretzels are bomb! I'm somewhat appalled and surprised that they don't seem to get more business. They really deserve it. Do yourself a favor and see Dune 2 here for $6.50 on a matinee, you'll really appreciate yourself afterwards that you didn't spend 3x that at some other *big theater chain*. Thanks for existing, Regency Academy.

Super vintage theatre been coming here for years and it hasn’t changed. These are super great prices $5.50 for movie screenings the seats are classic not what 2024 offers but who cares. Concessions are reasonable and if you’re on a budget and want to enjoy top movies this is the place to be and even if you’re not on a budget. Come enjoy a movie night here with friends and family open all week.

Parking is not too bad

Can't beat a $7.50 movie ticket! The viewing experience is pretty poor though. Creases in the screen, patches where it was clearly torn. You also really gotta be careful on where you sit to get even a decent audio experience. Don't sit in the back 4 rows otherwise you're behind the rear speakers. Therefore no sound is coming to you, just indirectly reflected to you. The screen in theater 2 is also tilted left for some reason, so you're viewing it at an angle even if you're sitting in the center. The lights along the stairs in the theater are also super bright, so don't sit too close to the in-theatre stairs. All this is to say if you're looking for the cheapest ticket in town, this isn't too bad for the price. It just has a lot of quarks that you'll find out as soon as you take a seat.

Great discount theater in Pasadena. Formerly a single screen theater with a balcony. Now cut up into 6 individual theaters (two up, four down). You still get to see excellent recently released films at a discount price. I haven't been in every theater, but the rooms I've been in were clean with a private screening room feel. Be sure to get a free rewards card so all purchases count toward free tickets and food at future showings. A great place to catch up on films you missed at the bigger first run houses and you'll save a lot of money.

I can't really complain about about a movie theater where the ticket to watch a (or more) movie cost only $2.50-3.50, and that offers 2 tickets, 2 pop corns, 2 drinks for only $10 (on Wednesdays). So I'm not going to. It's just an old second run theater. From the projection system to the seats, from the hallways to the restrooms, everything yields just that. Again, if you want premium picture and sound quality for a decent price, you go to AMC on Tuesdays. Anyway, the only little complaint I have about this theater is that the movie is cropped out of the original footage. The screen is also faced slightly to the left, that was a bit strange to me. Again, none of those matter because it's dirt cheap.
