Regal Cinemas Are Closing Again, Shuttering All 10 MA Theaters

Cineworld Group is closing all its Regal Cinemas theaters across the country, shuttering 10 locations in Massachusetts.

Theaters in Boston, Bellingham, Hyannis, Lanesboro, Mashpee, Swansea, Kingston, Marlboro, Springfield and Taunton will close while the cinema industry finds its way through the COVID-19 pandemic. Just days earlier, the newest James Bond movie was postponed until spring, the latest major movie delay to cripple theater chains.

Regal Cinemas started opening late in the summer, but weren't able to sustain operations. The theaters are going to close as early as Thursday. Cineworld did not say when they would reopen.

"Cineworld will continue to monitor the situation closely and will communicate any future plans to resume operations in these markets at the appropriate time, when key markets have more concrete guidance on their reopening status and, in turn, studios are able to bring their pipeline of major releases back to the big screen, CEO Mooky Greidinger said in a statement.
