Regal Cinemas To Open Select Locations In Time For ‘Godzilla Vs. Kong’

Things are about get big inside the movie theater -- like, real big.

After all, Regal Cinemas will be resuming operations at select locations to coincide with the opening of Godzilla Vs. Kong, the company announced in a release.

This is news because Regal's parent company, Cineworld, had closed all Regal chain locations for six months.

"We have long awaited this moment when we can welcome audiences back to our Regal theaters and restore our essential role within the communities we serve. With the health and safety of our customers, staff, and communities as our top priority, we continue to take all the necessary precautions and abide by our CinemaSafe guidelines to confidently provide a safe and comfortable experience," Cineworld CEO Mooky Greidinger said in a statement.

"With capacity restrictions expanding to 50% or more across most U.S. states, we will be able to operate profitably in our biggest markets. We will also be monitoring developments closely in the UK and across Europe as we set to gradually reopen across the world in line with local government guidance."

MovieWeb.com wrote that Godzilla Vs. Kong is the most anticipated release since Wonder Woman 1984 came out in December.

As a result, Regal is opening in select locations starting April 2, or just a couple days after Godzilla Vs. Kong debuts on March 31. It will continue to open theaters in the weeks that follow.

"With theaters open and the box office on the up-and-up, blockbusters can soon make their way out into the world once again," MovieWeb wrote.
