PORTLAND-After more than two years of stagnation, The Rouse Co. has found someone to operate the never-completed movie theater on the top floor of its Pioneer Place II retail development in Downtown Portland.

Regal Entertainment Group says it will operate a six-screen Regal Cinemas with stadium seating and digital sound that will play both art-house flicks as well as main stream commercial stuff. Amenities will include “an upscale café concession.” The projected opening is mid-2003.

The 32,000-sf space was to be one of Robert Redford’s new-concept Sundance theaters, with seven movie screens, an organic-foods restaurant, a microbrew-and-wine bar, an art gallery, live performance programming and retail space. Sundance abandoned the facility in November 2000 after losing its money partner General Cinemas to bankruptcy. The Rouse Co. has been searching for another operator ever since.
