I don’t normally post press releases, however sometimes I come across ones I feel might be of interest to many readers.
Growing up one of my fondest memories was when my mom would take me to the movies during the summer when I was little. Our local movie theater showed Disney films at a discounted price. Once a week – every week – my mom would take me to see one of these films. Thanks to the theater I was able to see many of the great Disney classics like Sleeping Beauty, The Aristocats and Bambi on the big screen. Not only that I was able to spend quality time with my mom which are memories I’ll cherish forever.
Regal Entertainment, which has over 340 theaters across the country, will be offering wonderful family friendly films for only $1 per person as part of their Summer Movie Express. Below is more information.
Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest theatre circuit in the United States, today announces that the Summer Movie Express is back for its 24th year.

Isn’t this a wonderful program and a great list of movies? I just found out last week that my niece has never been to the movies. Taking my son was one of the fondest memories for me. Seeing him laugh and clap and jump up & down. It was just great family fun. So I am taking her tomorrow to a matinee and to see some of these this summer. I am so glad you shared this.

I too have fond memories of seeing Saturday afternoon Disney films on discount. Sleeping Beauty was my favorite (and still is!). This is such a great price that I think it’s time for my grandson to experience a “big boy” movie at the theater. Thanks!
