Regal Edwards Big Newport - RPX Regal RPX
Newport Beach · United StatesEstimated
PremiumCinemaIQ rates this Regal RPX room C, 35/100 — a modest premium screen, with no published dimensions, so the size score rests on an estimate. The projector rests on a dated source, so the score is indicative. Data read 21 September 2026.
California, USA. The most famous large-screen house in the Regal circuit - the legendary Big Newport auditorium at 300 Newport Center Drive, an industry preview venue, now running RPX in the main house. NO screen dimensions are published by Regal or any reliable source, so width, height, seats and opening year are all null. Included because if any RPX qualifies as a genuine large format it is this one - but it could not be verified and should not be presented as measured.

Respectable, but not the full IMAX proposition.

The projector here comes from a 2021 industry listing that we haven't been able to re-confirm. IMAX has converted a lot of screens to laser since — where we could check, 100 venues listed as xenon had been upgraded. Treat the score as indicative.
Why IQ 35
* This venue has never published its screen dimensions. Size is scored on a deliberately conservative estimate, so an unmeasured screen can't out-rank a measured one on guesswork.
