Published June 30th, 2009
Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest theatre circuit in the world, today announced grand opening details for the new Regal Cinemas in Sheridan, Colorado. River Point Stadium 14 will host preview events with $2 movies for three full days to benefit local charities. The cinema’s official grand opening will be Wednesday, July 15 with first-run features including Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Moviegoers will enjoy free popcorn and free soft drinks with each paid admission July 15 – 23.
“During this exciting summer movie season, we are pleased to open the state-of-the-art Regal River Point Stadium 14 in Sheridan. River Point Stadium 14 increases Regal Entertainment Group’s presence in the Denver market to a total of 10 theatres with 120 screens,” stated Dick Westerling, Regal Entertainment Group Senior Vice President of Marketing and Advertising. “River Point Stadium 14 will open with a weekend of preview events raising money for local charities while offering $2 movies. The preview events culminate in a fireworks show Monday evening July 13th choreographed to songs from great movies of the past. The free fireworks show will light up the sky in Sheridan to celebrate the grand opening.”
The new facility is modern in every way, equipped with RealD® 3D to provide true-to-life 3D. RealD is a new generation of digital 3D, giving moviegoers a stunningly realistic movie experience that engages the imagination, activates the senses and invites the audience not only to watch a film, but also step inside the story. Upcoming Digital 3D movies include Disney’s G-Force (7/24/09), The Final Destination (8/28/09), and Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs (9/18/09).
The 14 screen theatre covers approximately 55,000 square feet and includes more than 2,300 seats. Moviegoers will enjoy stadium seating, with each row elevated for an unobstructed view, and high-back rocking chairs feature cupholder armrests which move out of the way to form seats for two.
Everyone is invited to enjoy this new entertainment destination on Saturday, July 11; Sunday, July 12; and Monday, July 13. These preview events will feature $2 movies, $2 popcorn and $2 soft drinks with proceeds benefiting local charities. REGmovies.com/grand-openings
