Regal Cinemas in Palm Springs Set to Reopen as Independent Theater with New Amenities

After public backlash over Regal Cinemas’ temporary closure in Palm Springs, new owner Dale Ocu confirmed plans to reopen the theater independently under the name "Festival Plaza." Ocu, who purchased the property in May, plans to enhance the theater with upgrades like reclining seats, a full bar, and improved food options. The theater is expected to reopen by November 18, aiming to continue serving as a community hub and key venue for local film events.
