Will roomier reclining seats with footrests lure you out to more movies in Crystal Lake?

Regal Crystal Lake Showplace Stadium 16 has replaced its theater chairs with roomier recliners with footrests to provide more comfort for moviegoers.

“Regal is redefining the level of comfort at this theatre. Our guests will be able to stretch out, relax and recline while watching the movie,” said Rob Del Moro, chief technical and theatre operations officer at Regal Entertainment Group. “Regal constantly listens to our guests and looks for ways to improve. With this new concept, these luxurious recliners have scored extremely well.”
