Anyone that lives on the west coast could you please help me. My brother lives in Irvine and I have not been there. I live on the East coast.
I want to get him a gift certif. for a movie theatre, but I need to know if the movie theatres in and/or around Irvine are Loews or General Cinema.

Can someone help me please? I've tried looking on the internet but I can't figure it out. Thanks. M

I actually live in Las Vegas, but I know the big entertainment center in Irvine is the Irvine Spectrum. On their website, it shows the theatre there is an Edwards run venue.....

It looks like you could buy gift certificates available for use anywhere in the Spectrum (including the theatre) from the front page of the Centre's site.....

I live here in Orange County just a few miles from Irvine. The largest movie theatre chain around here by far is Edwards. They are part of the Regal Entertainment Group and their website is http://www.regmovies.com

They sell gift certificates in $10 increments and you can buy them on their website.

Hope this helps! 8)

Ok guys you're doing good, but...........it's not working,

Edwards Home page said I could order gc's in $10 increments, when I go to order they started at $50 :roll:

The link MF gave me wants an $8 S& H fee :roll: and no choice for USPS.

So..........I'm looking at Lowes theatres and they tell me that these theatres are within 60 miles of Irvine, but which is closest? I can go pick one up at Lowes about 10 minutes from my house!!!!!!!!

Magic Johnson Theatre 15 Los Angeles, CA Get Showtimes
Marina Marketplace Cinemas 6 Marina Del Rey, CA Get Showtimes
Beverly Center 13 Los Angeles, CA Get Showtimes
Universal IMAX Universal City, CA Get Showtimes
Universal City 18 Universal City, CA Get Showtimes
Broadway Cinemas 4 Santa Monica, CA Get Showtimes

Do you think the # after the Cinema name is the mileage away from Irvine? Or is that maybe a corporate number attached to the cinemas name? IMAX doesn't have a # :roll:

Thanks for your help again. M

OK. First of all, those numbers after the names are the number of screens each place has. Those theatres are a LONG way from Irvine. You wouldn't run up there just to see a movie.

You can get gift certificates at the Irvine Spectrum and they are good for anything at the Spectrum (Restaurants, stores and theatres). Click on the link in Deans post and then click on Irvine Spectrum at the top and you will see the link to their gift certificates. That would probably be your best bet.

Better yet, just come on out here and take him to the movies and enjoy SoCal for a while!!!! 8) :lol: 8)

Pacific Theatres are all the hottest venues in just up the road in Los Angeles
They might want to make it a special night up at The Grove or Galleria

just another idea... :roll:

Well thanks guys!!!!!!! I checked out the Irvine Center and looked at the restaurants and stores they had there, and to my surprise they have a
restaurant that I like to eat at..........so.................I went to Romano's Macaroni Grill and picked up a GC for him for there :) I think he'll like that even better than a pass to the movies and I can get it in the mail tomorrow or the next day!!!!!!!

Thanks for all your help. Merry Christmas to you all. :)
