Regal Entertainment Group, a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest theatre circuit in the United States, opened the doors to Regal Cinemas Riviera Stadium 8 on Friday, August 31 2007. The all new entertainment destination is on the same site as the original Riviera Theatre established in 1920.

Regal patrons can enjoy free parking with validation anytime at the State Street Parking Garage. A new walkway connecting the State Street Garage to the Regal Riviera and Gay Street will also be completed in time for the new theatre's debut.
