Atlantic Station movies: Regal Atlantic Station Stadium 18 guide

A general view of the "Ant-Man" Atlanta Cast And Crew Screening at Regal Atlantic Station 18 on July 12, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Southeast's largest Regal Cinemas theater can be found at Atlantic Station, midtown Atlanta's entertainment hub. The Regal Stadium 18 IMAX, RPX & VIP at Atlantic Station is luxurious and fun. It screens blockbusters, fine art cinema and Fathom events like Metropolitan Opera live-streaming performances and Big Screen Classics.

The VIP portion of the Regal Stadium 18 name indicates a showing that includes the highly popular recliner seating and reserved seats. VIP shows are strictly for those who are 21 and up with a valid ID required for admission. Shows in other auditoriums and earlier in the day are more appropriate for families and younger viewers.
