  • FSU is in the process of acquiring the movie theater at Regal Governor's Square, according to an announcement briefly made at a recent trustees meeting.

Florida State University (FSU) is in the process of potentially purchasing the Regal Governor's Square 10 movie theater in Tallahassee, Florida, as part of its expansion plans. The university aims to convert the theater into a space for its College of Motion Picture Arts, enhancing its facilities for film education. This move comes after Regal Cinemas, facing financial difficulties, decided to close the theater. The acquisition would not only provide FSU with additional space for film production, screenings, and educational purposes but also preserve a local entertainment venue. The university has already invested significantly in its film program, with a new $100 million facility opened in 2020, and this purchase would further solidify FSU's commitment to becoming a leading institution for film studies. The deal, if completed, would be a strategic use of the theater's existing infrastructure to meet educational needs while also potentially benefiting the local community by keeping the space active.
