The 14-screen theater at Regal Essex Crossing — the first mainstream-movie multiplex on the Lower East Side — opened yesterday at 125 Delancey St. at Essex.
Here you can see films like "Us" or "Shazam!" or "Pet Sematary" in 2D, 3D or "RPX Regal Premium Experience," which is described on the Regal website like this:
RPX presents movies the way filmmakers intended with powerful, uncompressed surround sound and bright eye-popping images in 2D and RealD 3D. Guests will enjoy the custom-built premium environment creating the perfect moviegoing experience. A giant immersive screen is illuminated by high-quality digital projectors and completed with a state-of-the-art sound system.
The theater, with reclining seats and snack trays, will eventually offer a more extensive food menu as well as a full liquor license. (Community Board 3 didn't approve a full liquor license in December 2012 for the now-closed Sunshine Cinema on East Houston.)
You can find movie times at the Regal site here. They also have pre-sale tickets for the 182-minute "Avengers: Endgame," opening April 25.
The theater is located inside the Essex, the tallest building in the mega-Essex Crossing project at 26 stories. This building is also home to the new Essex Street Market.
