Regency Plant 16

This place really needs to close down already,
I couldn’t watch my movie in peace because of these ratchet ass highschool kids yelling behind me, also the seats are shit go to Century theaters in north Hollywood and pay like a few extra buck with seats that recline.

This was honestly the worst theater I’ve ever been to into my life and I come from a very small town in the middle of nowhere. The employees and movies chosen to show and prices are all great but the actual theater feels like a large room with a bunch of chairs in it. There is no ambience or sense of being in a movie. Everyone is at about the same height with maybe half an inch difference between each row. I could hear people talking 10 chairs down from me and couldn’t whisper to my girlfriend without the guy in front of us hearing every word. Spend a few more dollars and go to a better theater pleeaasseeee.

Every damn time I order a Pinkberry here the machine isn’t working. Get rid of the f***ing machine and take it off the menu.

The screens are good and the sound is nice, but the place is filthy. They inspect your bag on the way in, so you can’t bring snacks. This would be okay if the snackbar wasn’t horrible, but it is. Terrible selection and the soft pretzels taste really bad. The Pinkberry frozen yogurt machine seems to be perpetually broken. The hot dogs are cheap and good enough. With so many good theaters in the area, this one needs to step it up. Do they even own a vacuum? I will give them a broom, if it will help. I have seen cleaner dumpsters than this place.

So grateful to the staff and management of this fine theater. Left my wallet with hundreds of dollars in it and when I called they found it immediately and not a cent was missing. Honest good people still exist. Thank you again for a great experience

The management staff is young uneducated kids that don’t know about customer service… they just don’t have the experience.
The ownership of this theater should hire more qualified staff to attend to the clients needs.
The reason I come here is the closest movie theater to my house that’s soon to change.

I have always preferred smaller, more local chains over the theater giants, and Regency has become my favorite in the LA area. The prices are reasonable and they have fun concessions including frozen yogurt.

We decided to try this place out and boy did we make a mistake. the place is ghetto as can be with outdated seats and messed up screens.

Its my first time here because they had showing time that worked with our schdual.
The teather is ok but not so clean.
I am not sure if it is nust today.
I hope it was just bad day for them.

Everytime my family want to watch a okay movie or we are under budget, this is where we go. It’s an okay movie theater. My family loves there nachos and $ 1 hotdogs. It’s not an updated movie theater. Employees are friendly.

Horrible ticket buying experience from the start. My husband was buying tickets and I mentioned I think I have a loyalty card. At that point we were already rung up as I was searchingly wallet. We gave it to her and she said it’s too late. Never have I heard such a horrible response. Usually they ask if we have a loyalty card first. Other places do it. And even to have a supervisor tell us it’s our fault and next time make sure we show it first. Shitty service. Period! They took our card and supposedly gave us the credits for it.
Then the theatre # we were to go into had the wrong movie display in front and a few of us were confused and had to go back to the ticket checker to ask. Who said it was the correct theater. So the movie starts and it was the wrong movie! Everyone in the theater was pissed. Poorly organized, esp when the movie we were seeing, «The Visit» was in the opening weekend. So both the theaters had the wrong movie playing.
Then one of the sinks in the bathroom didn’t work. And the paper towels were stuffed so tightly they kept ripping into pieces when you took them out.
This is my last visit here.

Me gusta el teatro pero la ultima vez que fui compre UNas palomitas y oh sorpresa Estaban horribles sabian a grasa refrita Como si las tenian desde hase una semana

Four stars seems like a pretty good rating considering most of the theaters in the LA are new. This theatre is a little older. The chairs are a little tired, the screens and sound are not the best, but you’re also paying less then $ 10 for a ticket. If you feel like paying more than $ 10, you’ll obviously get a better theatre.
This theatre gets the job done while still leaving you with some cash in your wallet.

I really hate leaving bad reviews, which is why I don’t usually leave them, but holy mother, this was the worst movie theatre I’ve ever been in. I went to see Inside Out with my boyfriend and as soon as we get into the parking lot, it was hectic just to find a spot. I’m used to the parking situation in Los Angeles, so that wasn’t a big deal.
But after we make it inside to pick up our tickets, it was absolute chaos. There was no order at all to the theatre, just a large mob in front of the concession stand and screaming children/​shady people everywhere. Once again, It’s not the best area in LA so what can I expect?
So we get popcorn and a drink and make it into the theatre, which is disgusting by the way, to find that the whole theatre is about 20 feet long and all the seats are nearly one level so that you have to look over people to see the screen. Seriously. Speaking of the screen, the curtains and projector were crooked so the entire image was off and slightly blurry.
Not to mention the loudly speaking families in front of us AND behind us, repeatedly kicking our seats, yelling, EATING OUR FOOD while making direct eye contact with me, and ruining the entire movie for us by talking and crying. I know it isn’t the worker’s fault that the people were the worst people to ever step foot into a movie theatre, but that was the crap cherry on top of the garbage cake.
I. WILL. NEVER. COME. BACK.
Fact.

This has to be the worst movie theatre I have ever been to! The seats were beyond disgusting.
The only silver lining was the fact that my tickets were only $ 10 a piece.
In all seriousness though… Don’t go here.

The two stars is for the customer service, everyone was nice but that doesn’t help this theater as much. It’s in my ghetto hometown (panorama city) so can’t expect an excellent experience. I usually go to the AMC in Burbank or the Regency in Granada Hills.
Inside is a zoo full of hood rats running al over the place. My cousin and I got in line to get snacks at the concession stand (lines are unorganized) and this «tough» guy pats me and asks «you in line ?» but with a tone like he was trying to look & sound intimidating, I’m like «yeah» and pointed him to behind me. Not so tough then. These are the type of clowns you come across at the plant or rather panorama in general so no surprise there.
I got a pretzel, the guy took a long time to bring it to me & when he did bring it to me he gave it to me on a plate rather than a bag; my cousin laughed at how ghetto it was. It smelled like nacho cheese or pizza which should’ve hinted enough that this was to be the worst pretzel I had ever tasted but still I tried it cos the guy took a while making it. One bite was enough to prove it was the worst pretzel in the history of pretzels.
The theaters chairs are cheap and uncomfortable. It’s sticky on the arm rests. I went to see «Ted 2» there yesterday so you can imagine the crowd of 17 year olds thinking they were so cool sneaking into an R-​rated movie. They hardly got any of the jokes so just kept asking «huh?» a lot of the times. The movie was disappointing, the pretzel, the experience.
Even if this was the only theater that had a movie I really wanted to see, I will not be returning here again.
TL;DR ?: Nasty hood rat watering hole. Nice employees. Nasty pretzels. Ghetto as hell (makes Compton look nice)

¹⁰⁄₁₀ WOULD NOT GO AGAIN.
For a regency theater I am incredibly disappointed by this location. Perhaps it is because it is situated in the ghetto city in the San Fernando Valley, but coming to this theater is like asking to get into trouble.
During my visit here, the popcorn I bought was extremely cold and when I asked if they could change it they said they just recently popped it. Okay…
The movie theaters are relatively small and although they’re not too dirty, they’re nothing spectacular either. I hate to say that it’s mostly the crowd you’ll get here that really turns me off about this place. On the two occasions that I have watched movies in this theater, I have asked guests to turn off their phones because the light was bothering me. How did they respond? One said, «honey you’re in the ghetto so if you have a problem then you move the f*ck away» and the second one just said something in Spanish and continued to browse through her Instagram.
I would rather pay a few dollars extra to avoid the crowd here and get a good quality projection of the movie too.

I can definitely see why the theater has a low rating. It is a bit worn down and could use a major overhaul, but otherwise, it’s fine since just you’re literally just sitting there to watch a movie.
They do check your bag for snacks, so don’t bother! I learned that the hard way. That actually might be the reason I won’t come back. Not going to spend more money on snacks than what it costs for the movie ticket.
Check it out if you want to save a couple bucks.

This is basically just your run of the mill theatre. Nothing crazy or amazing about this location.
Parking: There is a huge parking lot but for some reason there is always very little parking. It is also randomly shares a parking lot with a police station. This would usually kind of adds a sense of security but every time I have been there, I have never seen a police car or police officer coming in or out of that station.
Entrance: It can be pretty busy out front. They have attempted to form a line but it seems like most people either do not see it or just do not care. However, they also have machine inside the doors on the right that take card and allow you to skip the line. Also, another thing that I found weird about this theatre is that they «check» your bag. I put that in quotation marks because the girl manning the door asked me to open my purse, which I did. Before I could even get the bag halfway open, she thanked me and sent me on my way. Clearly, if you have to set up a bag checking system, you have had security problems. Do the job thoroughly to protect your guests.
Seating: Nothing spectacular. The theatres are actually kind of small. If it is an opening weekend for a new movie, I would suggest getting there early because if you do not, you will probably end up sitting right under the screen.
Concessions: Overpriced like any other theatre. Nothing special to report. Kind of like the entire theatre.
Overall: We only come here if we don’t feel like driving to Sherman Oaks Galleria to the better theatre. In my opinion, its probably worth the extra gas and ticket money to go to the Galleria.

Be careful.
Just because there is a police station near by (close enough to share a parking lot) this does not mean the occasional crack head won’t slip by. In this case (I later discovered) was a aerosol huffer screaming obscenities and what sounded like vomiting towards last quarter of our movie.
Two questions for this theater…
1) do you guys know a place called Aurora-​fucking-​Colorado? Google it.
2) how did he slip by your doorman? I can almost guarantee you he wasn’t there to watch «The Imitation Game»
This was a theater full of blue-​hairs and… me. This is so UNACCEPTABLE. Yes, I swore I wouldn’t ever see a movie here again… I gave it another chance (simply because «The Imitation Game» wasn’t playing anywhere else, and my actor friend wouldn’t lend me her screener (which reminds me, backhand actor friend for this).
I will say though, the concession people were really fast and friendly. And trying so hard. Keep them around. The rest… they’re really ill-​equip to handle these situations.

This location used to be General motors and now its a mall. They also built a Police Station in the Rear of this locations. Right across the parking lot of the Regency Theater. What really caught my eye was that their was no longer a food court. There was at least 6 different fast food joints, including Quiznoes. Real sad to see so many locations closed.
However the Theater has had to make dramatic changes in how they do business along with the prices. If you come before 4 pm your cost is $ 7.25 per person and Hot Dogs are a Dollar each.
Some of the Theaters are big in size and have the Dolby Surround sound system. The down fall is the element that comes here, a lot of kids that want to play around during the movie and talk. The employees are some what limited in what they can do.
Cleaning of this location also needs some work done during your visit and most of all the restrooms can use some help. Wasn’t a good visit. I would personally attend somewhere else.
