Regal Cinema, Dublin

The Regal Cinema was a film theatre that operated for almost a quarter of a century in Dublin, Ireland, until its closure in 1962.

[2] The first film screened was the screwball comedy, True Confession, starring Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray.

[6] The Regal had its greatest success in February 1960 as the first Dublin cinema to show George Morrison's documentary, Mise Éire.

In the first week of its run, over 16,000 people viewed the film, breaking all previous box office records at the venue.

[11] The building was subsequently demolished and replaced by a twelve-storey office block, Hawkins House, headquarters of Ireland's Department of Health.
