* Rated G
* Approximately 1hr 38m
* This one is marked "2D 4DX RPX"

*There is a $2 per ticket fee when purchasing tickets online. There are no fees when purchasing at the theater.

What is 4DX/RPX? https://www.regmovies.com/movie-news/what-is-a-premium-large-format-movie

4DX is a fully immersive format that makes you feel like you’re in the movie. Motion seats combined with strobe lights, fog, rain, wind, and even scents transform the viewing-experience.

RPX, or the Regal Premium Experience, is available exclusively at Regal. These auditoriums are custom built premium environments that feature powerful, uncompressed surround sound and a giant screen with digital projection to provide an immersive and luxurious viewing experience. Some RPX locations also offer laser projection, Dolby Atmos, and optional ButtKicker motion seats.

Early Screenings of New Movies for $5

Join us for early screenings of new movies but here’s the catch—we’re not allowed to tell you what the Mystery Movie is. The only way to find out for sure is to be in the theatre.

MEETUP ATTENDEES: We'll gather in the Colonie Center food court @ 4:30pm at a table near the bottom of the escalator to the theater. Feel free to get there early, grab some food and chat. Prior to the 5pm show time, we'll head up to the theater for tickets and concessions.

"The Heiress is a 1949 American romantic drama film directed and produced by William Wyler, from a screenplay written by Ruth and Augustus Goetz, adapted from their 1947 stage play of the same title, which was itself adapted from Henry James' 1880 novel Washington Square. The film stars Olivia de Havilland as Catherine Sloper, a naive young woman who falls in love with a handsome young man despite the objections of her emotionally abusive father who suspects the man of being a fortune hunter. Montgomery Clift stars as Morris Townsend and Ralph Richardson as Dr. Sloper.[3][4]

The Heiress premiered in Los Angeles on October 6, 1949, and was theatrically released by Paramount Pictures on December 28, 1949. Although a box office failure, grossing $2.3 million on a $2.6 million budget, the film garnered critical acclaim, with reviewers praising Wyler's direction, its screenplay, and the performances of the cast. The film received a leading eight nominations at the 22nd Academy Awards, including for the Best Picture, and won four awards (more than any other film nominated that year): Best Actress (for de Havilland), Best Original Score, composed by Aaron Copland, Best Production Design, and Best Costume Design.

In 1996, The Heiress was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."[5][6]"

The legendary 1948 British classic that is full of beautiful imagery that inspired a generation of filmmakers. If you’ve never seen it I’m not going to spoil anything else about it…
It’s also my birthday so will probably go to the Backstage Pub at 5:30 before the movie if you want to join me.( I’m not a big drinker but they do have good munchies) No present required,it would just be fun to hang out.
Hope to see you there or at the movie!
