According to a report by Hayes Hickman in the Knoxville News Sentinel, the new Regal Riviera Stadium 8 opened on Monday night on Knoxville's Gay Street to an invitation-only crowd of VIPs who were treated to a private reception and a black out. The $14.85 million multiplex marks the return of a movie theater to downtown Knoxville, and is expected to seed downtown development in a manner similar to what the Bijou did for downtown Chattanooga, but the inaugural screenings Monday night went dark due to a power outage, forcing guests to leave the long-awaited theater opening early. According to the report, the blackout struck less than 45 minutes into sneak-preview showings of “3:10 to Yuma” and “Balls of Fury,” as well as “The Nanny Diaries,” at around 7:15 p.m.
