Which is why Regal shuttered its triplex a while back.

IIRC, the Gig Harbor 3 was built by the "A Theatre Near You" chain, based for several years in Arlington, WA, just north of my home. Their theatres were cheap with a capital CHEAP. Their Marysville (WA) Twin was a miserable place with cheap seats, bad picture, and bad sound. The only place that was worse around here was the Everett Mall 4-10.

Oh, Matt...

You're forgetting about the Alderwood 12, the built-within-a-former-supermarket dollar house. I don't think I've ever patronized a more inept operation from the horrible projection to the incredibly awful-sounding mono sound.

And don't bad-mouth those old GCCs. There's a few of us around here that have a soft spot for those bowling alley theaters. [Smile]

Yeah, the Alderwood 12 was pretty darned bad. I'm not sure how much worse it was in terms of the auditoriums than the Everett Mall 4-10 (especially the all-mono auditoriums in 7-10), but yeah, it was pretty bad. No question. The 4-10, though, was FULL PRICE!

The GCCs were definitely their own breed. I'm friends with a couple who worked/managed (I think) the 1-2-3 for a while, and they speak very glowingly about it.
