Regal Entertainment Group Announces Free Family Film Festival 2008

Posted on: Wednesday, 14 May 2008, 15:00 CDT

Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest theatre circuit in the United States, today announced details of Regal's 2008 Free Family Film Festival. During this 9-week festival approximately 300 Regal Cinemas, United Artists and Edwards Theatres offer selected G and PG rated movies for free on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 10am.

Participating theatres offer free film titles such as Alvin and the Chipmunks, Bee Movie, Charlotte's Web and Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. Check local theatre listings for film selection at specific theatres. Concession items are available and there is a special "Kids Reel Meal" combo pack available. Regal's Free Family Film Festival has been an annual summer event since 1991.

The Free Family Film Festival also allows Regal the opportunity to sponsor the Boys & Girls Clubs of America "Mornings at the Movies" program. The Regal Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity established by Regal Entertainment Group, provides monetary grants to local Boys & Girls Clubs to enable them to bring their kids to theatres to enjoy the free movies.

"We are excited to kick off the 18th year of Regal's Free Family Film Festival. This is a terrific activity for children and parents to enjoy together," stated Dick Westerling, Regal Entertainment Group Senior Vice President of Marketing and Advertising. "The Free Family Film Festival also provides us with a great opportunity for partnering with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. By providing grants for transportation to numerous Boys & Girls Clubs across the country, we help many children enjoy the big screen experience for free."
