Regal Cinemas
reviews and complaints

On Friday 1/20/2023 we purchased 3 tickets online (after trying to determine what the difference is between all the different types of screens through Google)
Upon receiving the confirmation WPGK8D4 We immediately saw they were not for the next day Saturday 1/21 at 505pm which we were trying to book, but were for a show that had already been running for over 30 minutes!
I assured my son who was treating us to a movie for my birthday that there would be a manager we could call to assist us.

There was not.

We dialed (from multiple phones) both 559.447.3247 and 844.462.7342 and followed the prompts to be connected to a team member but were left on hold and "transferring" for over an hour. This has been a really frustrating experience. We used to attend every blockbuster opening day driving an hour to Fresno to enjoy this theater back in the early 2000s but have since switched to a luxurious Galaxy Theater in Tulare CA. We just thought we would try an IMAX experience since it was my birthday. We regret it.

We really just wanted a quick exchange so we could go enjoy this movie tomorrow. At this point with no guarantee of refund or tickets or seating we are really frustrated.
I can be reached for resolution at 559.380.5300

I went to see the avatar last night. The person asked if I was a regal member, I said no. He proceeded to charge me $35.50 for 2 tickets. I said the price is supposed to be $10.50 a piece. He said only if your a member. Ok. So then I asked him how to become a member and he said “ just download the app and verify your email address “. Well by now he had already run my debit card through so it was to late to do anything. I was so angry. With all the prices of everything lately we all look for a way to save some money. You should probably tell your employees to give a person a chance to do something. And it wasn’t packed, we were the only people buying tickets at the time and there only ended up being 8 people in our Theater. So it’s not like they were busy. It has been quite some time since we went to the movies and as of last night, it will be quite some time again.

I have tickets for a 1:30 showing today and there is an ice storm. I'm not willing to drive all the way to the theatre. The site won't allow a refund as I got on 40 minutes before the showing. I called the theatre and they won't issue the refund. Tickets purchased for 12/23/22 for a 1:38 showing. I don't feel it's worth the risk to drive there as I live 30 minutes away.

Regal Winter Park No straws! Poor customer service, unlimited yet no explanation to why I can’t see movie. Unlimited 2D movies in writing. I have rewards and I apparently accidentally hit the popcorn upgrade instead of the free popcorn and I asked if I could change it, she said no. What’s the point of having rewards and going to a theater & customer service if they can’t fix problems and management that can’t fix issues? Regal has absolutely fallen apart. AMC is much better and pulling away. I think I’ll let my unlimited expire and switch back to AMC

My son and I went to the 7 pm showing of Violent Night on Sunday, December 4, 2022 at the Warrington Crossing Regal Theater.

I am a Regal Card member. We bought our tickets in advance. When we got to the theater, as has happened in previous visits to this location, no one was at either entrance to check tickets. One high school employee was leaning against the bar watching the football game. We just walked in without anyone saying a word. I guess they don't care about paying/non-paying customers

For the first 20 minutes of the movies, we were the only people in the theater.

A family of 4 than came in. Except for taking a phone call and talking on the phone, they weren't an inconvenience. With 15 minutes left in the movies, 4 teenagers came in and sat at the top of the theater. Except for seeing them enter, Never heard from them while the movie was playing. We sit through the credits at the end...as usual. When from up top, a soda comes flying over us and hits the floor in front of us. We quickly turn around to find 3 of the4 kids ducking for cover. The 4th one comes down, apologizes and picks up the soda. Though irritated , I accept the apology and we continue to watch the ending credits. A minute later, multiple soda come flying down from the top crashing to the floor in front of us. At this point, my son and I are upset. Stand up and turn around and ask what their problem is. They say nothing. I head out the door to the lobby asking for a manager . The girl at the door calls for Jake , who is the night manager that night. He is no more than the ages of the kids who threw the items. I am frustrated and explain the situation and ask him to call the police. His first words are, "Let me give you two passes to another movie" I tell him, I don't want passes . I have the Regal monthly pass. What do I need passes for. It was as if he was saying here, take these and go. So, again, I ask him to call the police for 2 reasons. First and foremost , to report the incident but, also, just as important, I don't want any problems once we get outside . Jake is flustered...emotions are taking over his ability to think calmly and clearly. He asks the 4 teens to leave and there are words exchanged as they walk passed us. He tells us that he can't call the police until he fills out a form as they have a policy that he needs to follow. He tells me that I should call the police. I asked him 6 times to call the police, each time , he refuses until finally he goes to his office to call.

Along comes Sara, not a manager of anytime, who decides to add gas to the fire by saying that there is nothing they can do as the people left. I still ask for the police to be called...again. Sara strikes the pose of being annoyed by leaning against the bar with her hands behind her and asking us if we got a good look at the people. Stating that she is going to be a lawyer one day and that if we can't identify them than again there is nothing we can do. I intern tell her that her attempt at any cordial customer service is lacking. She shrugs her shoulders. I also ask if they have cameras here to show if these people even paid to get in here. She tells me that they were removed during renovations. We wait 15 minutes for the police and no one shows up. We leave.

I realized that in my rush to find a manager that I left my phone in the theater.

I come back to the theater to find some of the employees laying on furniture and , again, with poor attitudes when I asked if they had found a phone when they cleaned venue 9. He stays lying down and says no.

Luckily, there is 1 really good employee who says she will take me to the theater and help me locate it. Which we did. She also apologizes for the actions from earlier and how poorly they handled it as she overheard what was going on. She did in 5 minutes what Jake and Sara couldn't do in the 20 minutes when I was there earlier She told me that the police never showed up. Instead of calming down an issue and handling it with customer service, They made it as if I was the issue and the problem.

I even asked Jake for the manager of this Regals business card. His reply was " I can't give you that". Thus , further infuriating me. I said, you can't give me the name and the direct phone number of this place so that I can speak to him tomorrow. His reply was "I can't give you his home number". I never asked for his home number. I only wanted the name of the manager and the direct number of this Regal. Again, 0 customer service

When I spoke to the manager, Eric Mills, on Tuesday. He did apologize was more in tune to the fact that we didn't wait for the police to arrive. His tone was unsympathetic and very much like a police officer taking a report. His first concern was that the police came and no one was there. He said he would talk to all those involved and what would I like as compensation. I said that I am not calling him to get some sort of compensation but to complain how poorly this Regal is run. This wasn't the first time for something like this happening. Not 1 Regal employee came into the theater to do a walk around or to check that things were okay. I was told by Eric that they should have done it twice.

Why is it that the Regal in Oxford Valley has a ticket taker blocking the entrance to the theater but I never see one on the Sundays that I've gone to the Warrington Crossing?

I have gone to Regal Cinemas for many years and spent a lot of money on admissions and treats with my huge family. Yesterday at Crocker Park Regal in Westlake, a person at the podium whim I consulted regarding a movie showtime was rude and condescending. I reported that to the manager (Randy?) and he seemed unconcerned. Then when I purchased my ticket a man behind the counter with really huge hair in an afro style refused to answer my question about disabled seating and laughed in my face over and over again and insulted me. I am thoroughly disgusted and have never experienced anything this abusive in my 65 years. Please phone me at [protected]. Thankyou, Mr. O'Malley

10/14/2022 9:50pm bought 5 tickets to see halloween when I arrived 20 min before movie started. There was no drinks other than water 1st complaint as I arrived with kids who wanted something other than that to drink with popcorn and candy. Then while watching the movie security came in to remove a few people who were causing distrction. They refused to move. After minutes of unconvincing they finally paused the movies as they continued to scream back and fourth. I had an awful time. I do have videos to upload but im usuing a desktop

I had a Regal Cimes app with 1500 points and $20 in movie passes but know I can't access the app because I keep getting an error message (1020) 74467f375e90b133

Okay I tried using your online system which is of no use to anyone! the reason for my complaint is quite simple,... I lost my debit card and was issued a new one from my banking institution. I immediately added the new car number and pertinent information to take priority over the last previous card.

However,... your system is lacking as in reference to altering/modifying/or updating your system of personal information for unlimited service.

Then I went on the Internet,... obtained a telephone number for your headquarters in Kentucky. I dialed [protected], option 1, only to receive a pre-recorded message's basically stating to go to your website for any customer service. WTF,... it's quite obvious and objectively looking at the way the regal cinemas conducts business that they have little time or concern for individuals trying to utilize your unlimited service and modify/alter/or update any personal contact information.

I can see why your stock market value has decreased.

The Regal gift card number is [protected]. After the ticket agent scratched off the silver area the code number was 1691. This card has never been used before today. Telling me is had expired was not the answer I wanted to hear. I took my grandson to see the Minnions 2 at the Morgantown theater.

Address for movie theater 1001 Morgantown Drive, Morgantown, WV 26501 Regal crown bl

I'd like to file a formal complaint against the general manager of the Regal Winrock, Albuquerque, NM on Saturday, 08/06/22, 10pm.

I didn't get his name (employees were to scared to give his name), he's an African-American (older gentleman) that manages the Regal Winrock theater in Albuquerque, NM.

I've never witnessed someone as obnoxious and condescending to his employees as I did this evening.

I personally witnessed this manager being verbally abusive to his employees, and one in particular when I walked near the office.

It's totally unprofessional to behave in the manner he did, towards his employees, in front of customers.

I felt so sorry for those kids working the night shift this evening. A good boss will get in there and help their employees, not be belittling and condescending or insulting. That's not the proper way to treat your employees period.

I will never return back to this theater, and I'll make sure to let everyone know the behavior of this individual.

If this individual is not disciplined for his unprofessional behavior, and bullying of his employees, I will not hesitate to contact our local news media to report the theater.

Thursday, July 28,2022. We went to see the 2pm DC League of Super Pet at Regal Cinema at Deer Park, NY. We bought a small popcorn with butter and mozzarella sticks. But it was a pool of butter in the popcorn which my son’s pants and shirt were stained with butter. The name of the person who did the popcorn was Vikas. We didn’t know how much butter in the popcorn until half way through that we felt a pool of oily fluid inside the bag. I spoke with Vikas afterwards and said some people want extra butter but we never ask for that. He apologized but my son’s clothing were totally ruin.

On Sunday, July 11th at 6:40pm, we took our two daughters to see the new Jurassic Park: World Dominion movie for a "Family Night" at our local Regal Cinema (Niles, Ohio). It was extremely disappointing that the trailer for the Rated-R movie "Bro's" was shoved in our faces and in the faces of our children.

Within the first seconds of the trailer, the word "God _ _ mn" was said. Other language included "gay sex," "bi-sexual," "lesbian," and "throuple."

There is a gay bar scene in which a man is pointing out to another man and stating that he "had sex with that 65 year old." and then pointing out to another man stating that he is, "very hot."

One scene depicts two men "play fighting" on a blanket that turns into them laying on top of each other and kissing. The others in the scene who think that these men are fighting throw their hands up and state, "It's cool," before walking away realizing they are making out.

Next comes a PRIDE Parade depicted, along with a statement "You can't say that Abraham Lincoln was gay." Yet another statement was made: "Gay sex was more fun when straight people weren't comfortable with it." Then the remark is made, "Oh my god, do you remember straight people? they had a good run."

Why would anyone in their right mind think this sort of trailer would be appropriate for children to watch? After a few seconds, we literally told our girls to look away.

We are very disappointed with Regal Cinemas allowing this R-Rated explicit garbage to be shown to our children and all other children out there, while attempting to have some family fun and see a movie. We save hard-earned money so that we can treat our children to a movie, only to have filth we do not believe in be shoved down our throats.

I tried to get a ticket for this Sunday using my unlimited Regal app, it wanted to charge me. I should not be charged for a movie when I get a ticket using my unlimited. I pay $22.05 a month for as many movies as I want to see.

Went to see Elvis, great PG rated movie, why would you show 2 R rated promotion clips before the show? If I wanted to see explicit homosexuality and sex on the big screen I would have done so, just very fortunate that I didn't have any younger ones with me, it was embarrassing even for a mature adult to watch, the name of the promotion was 'Bros' I wish that I wasn't exposed to such trash! I didn't go to your theater to watch such filth, to bad I couldn't somehow turn it off! By the way it should have been X rated as far as I'm concerned.

First issue is we buy your movie tickets to getaway and escape the rigors of everyday life.

Now I see that we can’t escape special interest and political spin at your theater. We were visiting Nashville and had a few hours before our flight home so we bought tickets for the new top gun movie. Very disappointed to see that political and special interest views were displayed during the time slot normally reserved for trailers of soon to be released movies. Not only did this disappoint and upset us the commercials ran long. Movie start was to be 3:05pm. The movie didn’t start until sometime after 3:30pm. Because of the unbelievable amount and length of commercials we were subjected to we had to leave a few minutes before the end so we would not miss our flight.

Again, I want to be clear. The movie theater is a place we all have warm and excited feelings for and look forward to attend. A place to escape.

If you choose to join the special interests and subject us to the same political landscape we endure daily. You no longer are that safe haven we all expect and love. That place to go and escape.

Major disappointment

I just had a horrific experience at the regal Cinema in Bend Oregon. There was rowdy guests screaming in the theater disrupting my movie experience and everyone in theres experience. Folks went out and spoke to associates to complain about the noise because it was ridiculous. An associate of the theater comes in and sees me sitting there with my family which includes two young children. So he automatically assumes the noise is coming from my family when it was in fact coming from grown adults setting at the front of the movie theater not near me. Which causes an argument between that associate in my husband we go to speak to the shift managers on duty and they actually laughed about the situation. So my question is do you guys hate children or was it just specifically me and my children? Was me being embarrassed and singled out in a movie theater a regular occurrence for people with children or it’s that only happening to me? Is it the policy of your movie theater in the managers to laugh at patrons who is telling them what’s going on or was it just because it was me or because I had children?

I’ve never been more upset or embarrassed in a situation and will not be returning.

We was seeing Jurassic world theatre 2 at 5:10 pm 06/11/2022 Seat C 1-4

So I’m very upset and I’m unsure what to do about it just thought I would ask customer service what you guys‘ policy is on children.

New popcorn recipe is horrible. Doesn’t even taste good. We will not be visiting ever again with practices like this. That in addition to paper straws which doesn’t hold up to the length of a movie and can’t stir a slushy, in addition to sticking to your lips makes the movie experience unbearable.

Ther are different theaters where the concessions and experience is still top notch.

I'm very sad and disappointed about the customer service in Issaquah, we went to reserve a kids party on May 1st, and Tuesday we went to cancel the service and pickup the card and the people say that we should have the card for $50, we do not have it. We have gone twice already spend almost 2 hours waiting for them to review the security footage and according to them in an image that totally not clear point out that my wife got the card, something that is orange and the card that we got was white with orange. Is incredible that the manager and the second in command treat people like thieves and do not believe in the world of the people and push to something that is not even clear that is the card. This is not a customer service at all. I would like to talk with somebody in Regal to get my money back, the person who help us to schedule the party never gave us the card.
