Yeah, they junked the other great single screeners, the Cooper and the Mann Century 21. A Barnes and Noble stands on the Cooper's former site and they gutted the Century 21 and put an Ultimate Electronics inside (they are now going bankrupt).
They kept the Continental mostly intact. They didn't touch the main auditorium during the first renovation other than to add more modern speakers and sound processors, etc. The lobby was turned into auditorium #4, the smallest house in the complex. They built the other auditoriums around the main one which was rechristened as "#5". Then after many more years they added 4 more auditoriums to the east of the building as well as adding stadium seating to the other newer auditoriums, again leaving the main house alone. Then, even though they had no problems putting butts in seats when it came to the big house, they decided it needed to be stadium seating. So they retrofitted it for that, lost a whole mess of seats in the process, screwed up a lot of the sightlines and made the auditorium look like your average, generic multiplex auditorium, only now they couldn't sell as many tickets to the house, but Regal's businessmen aren't very bright. Now they have removed even more seats to add RPX. With the way they're going, soon the auditorium will have the same amount of seats as your average screening room.
