A Summer Tradition Since 1991
Summer Movie Express has been a staple of family summer entertainment for over three decades. According to Brooks LeBoeuf, Senior Vice President of U.S. Content at Regal, “Enjoying time with friends and family at a movie theatre during summer is as much of a warm weather tradition as relaxing together at the swimming pool.” The program continues a long-standing commitment to making theatrical entertainment accessible to families across the United States.
A portion of each $1 ticket sale benefits Boys & Girls Clubs of America, adding a charitable component to the summer movie experience. This approach has helped Regal position the program as both an affordable family outing and a way to support youth organizations nationwide.
