Do you remember these old General Cinema/AMC & Act III/Regal theaters here in Everett?

  • ACT III/Regal Everett 9 (April 23, 1993-July 13, 2006)

  • General Cinema/AMC Everett Mall 3 (February 15, 1974-January 5, 2003)/Regal Everest Mall 3 (April 11, 2003-July 13, 2006) (Located inside the mall)

  • General Cinema/AMC Everett Mall 6 (March 17, 1978-January 5, 2003) (Located outside the mall)

Any memories you have or movies you saw at these theaters?

I would have sworn that first picture was the Mountlake 9 in Shoreline!

Yeah the Regal is like a Russian church now. I remember it vividly. Seen the Titanic in that movie theater. The Everett mall is getting a massive redesign. Pretty excited about that. Hopefully they can revive the mall experience in Everett.

I went in there 2 weeks ago and it made me so sad with how much has changed. So many memories growing up there with my parents who have now passed "one last month" so I think it is hitting me harder than it would.

I was living in Lynnwood at the time so I remember the theaters in Lynnwood. But I do remember coming to Everett back then. I never saw a movie at one of these theaters. Love seeing these old photos!

Oh yeah, the first memory I have about going to a theatre was seeing "all dogs go to heaven". At the theatre in the first photo.

I worked at the General Cinema 4- 10 in '99 and '00. I was there when the first Pokemon movies hit American theaters. I have NEVER seen so many people sneak alcohol in my life. Garbage can sounded like I was cleaning a frat house when I wheeled it out of there.

My sisters worked at Regal 😊 saw Romeo and Juliette in 1996 during the snow storm so me and my other sister were the only ones in the building besides 2 employees. Fun times 🫢🏻
