Word has leaked out that Edwards Rancho Santa Margarita 6 will be heading for a luxury remodel/upgrade, under the operation of Cinepolis, in the near future. Unlike the makeover about to be undertaken at Laguna Niguel’s Ocean Ranch 7, the Rancho Santa Margarita site doesn’t have any concrete plans in place yet. However, the changeover has been termed as “inevitable”, once Cinepolis finalizes the paperwork and Edwards’ lease expires (at an undisclosed date).
While most will welcome this conversion to luxury boutique cinemas, the change will also mark the loss of two pristine examples of early 90’s era Edwards multiplexes. In a somewhat bizarre bit of cyclical history, fully intact, pre stadium, multiplexes are becoming increasingly rare; succumbing to the same sort of progress their single screen predecessors suffered through decades earlier.
