Regal Entertainment Group closed its UA Green Valley 8 movie theater on Sunset Road near Green Valley Parkway in Henderson on Sunday. Regal continues to operate eight theaters in the Las Vegas Valley and has plans for a ninth theater at Interstate 215 and Charleston Boulevard, to open in conjunction with Red Rock casino.

The UA Green Valley 8 theater was identified as an underperforming location, said Dick Westerling, senior vice president of marketing for Regal Entertainment, based in Knoxville, Tenn. Employees were offered jobs at other Las Vegas locations, he said.

John Kilduff, president of American Nevada Company, the company that owns Green Valley Town Center, said a new theater will not be put in its place. He said the company is working on rejuvenating the retail center and a theater does not work into those plans.

American Nevada is owned by the Greenspun family, publishers of the Las Vegas Sun.
