Regal Majestic 20 theater to install recliners

Probably the biggest complaint I hear about the Regal Cinemas Majestic Stadium 20 theater is the seats. They're "too old," "too dirty" and "they don't recline," are the chief beefs. I have good news from Regal for the complainers - the seats are being replaced.

Regal is going to install recliners (which it describes as, "king-size") in auditoriums at the Majestic 20 this year, part of a nationwide seat upgrade by the cineplex giant. They're not just thinking of you, of course. Recliners allow theaters to charge more per ticket. Regal last year stated that recliners reduce the number of seats in each auditorium, boost the number of sold-out screenings, and increase profits through those higher ticket prices.

In regard to the Silver Spring upgrade, Regal says they will also be upgrading the finishes inside each auditorium.
