Rough draft of a work in progress.
Some information for select theatres is based on one visit and
one viewing at that theatre. Other theatres have been visited hundreds of times
over the years.
| UA Oxford Valley Stadium 10 |
There are two main theatre chains in the Philadelphia
suburbs, Regal Entertainment Group and AMC (American Multi Cinema). Regal
Entertainment operates x theatres in the Pennsylvania Suburbs. y under the
name 'Regal' and z under the name "United Artist'. Of those I frequent I
will attempt to compare the services, prices and value of each. |

| Regal Warrington Crossing 22 |
| AMC Neshaminy 24 |

Needless to say the lack of competition is not
positive for the patron. While both chains provide excellent venues I
believe our prices would be lower if we had the old United Artist Theatre,
separate of Regal Entertainment, and the General Cinema, now part of AMC. |

price of a Small Popcorn 75¢ without
increasing the size. Those of us who buy a small have to subsidize the
other snack patrons. |
