The Ultimate Comedy Lineup Every Genre Fan Needs
Comedy comes in many flavors, and this series delivers them all. Want classic slapstick? Blazing Saddles (1974) and The Jerk (1979) launch the first week. Craving 80s nostalgia? Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986), Caddyshack (1980), and Beverly Hills Cop (1984) grace the second week. The 90s shine with masterpieces like Wayne’s World (1992), The Big Lebowski (1998), and Austin Powers (1997).
Regal Movie Theater didn’t forget contemporary audiences either. The Hangover (2009), Superbad (2007), and Girls Trip (2017) represent 2000s and 2010s comedies. From absurdist humor to witty dialogue to physical comedy, participants get their complete dose.
Here’s the Complete April Lineup at Regal

“For a $4.99 ticket price, we’re also providing cheap laughs for Regal moviegoers to enjoy these influential comedy rereleases.”

The Money Strategy: Why $4.99 Is a Game Changer
Standard Regal movie theater tickets easily run $12-$15 in most markets. This $4.99 promotion represents a staggering savings of 60 to 70 percent. For families or friend groups, catching multiple films throughout April becomes genuinely affordable. Regal Crown Club members and Unlimited subscribers unlock additional perks: a $1 discount on the Cheesy Combo during April screenings.
The strategy makes sense too. April Fools’ Day kicks the series off, tying the month to comedy itself. Regal recognized consumers crave nostalgic, theatrical experiences. Streaming has changed entertainment, but nothing replaces laughing with strangers in a dark auditorium.
Why Now Is Your Best Chance to See These Classics on the Big Screen
Most of these comedies haven’t screened theatrically in decades. The Legends of Laughs series ends April 30, meaning each film gets exactly one showing. You miss Caddyshack on April 12? The next theatrical showing might be years away. Regal positioned this as a genuine event, not a casual promotion.
Perfect for date nights, girls trips, family outings, or solo comedy adventures. Whether you’re reliving childhood memories or discovering classics for the first time, Regal Movie Theater just made that possible at an unbeatable price. Advance tickets are available now at REGmovies.com, the mobile app, or your local theater box office.
