Moviegoers visited Regal theatres in record numbers over the Memorial Day weekend, as theatres nationwide delivered the biggest Memorial Day Weekend ever. Regal welcomed over three million guests watching Regal Memorial Day movies at its locations across the country. With the new releases of “Lilo & Stitch” and “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning“, and the ongoing success of features like “Final Destination Bloodlines,” “Sinners,” and “Thunderbolts*”, guests had a vast number of options bringing them back to theatres.

A few days ago, the predictions for box office sales for “Lilo & Stitch” looked like a record was possible. At this point, “Lilo & Stitch” will break Memorial Day weekend records in terms of box office sales.

“We were thrilled to welcome millions of guests this holiday weekend, proving once again that there’s a healthy appetite for consumers to come to the movies when offered a variety of choices. These are can’t miss events that you have to watch in a big movie house,” said Eduardo Acuna, CEO at Regal Cineworld. “We’re confident this momentum is going to continue into the summer, given the highly anticipated titles releasing in the upcoming weeks, including Jurassic World, F1, Superman, How to Train Your DragonBallerina28 Years Later, and The Fantastic Four. Our heartfelt congratulations to our partners at Disney and Paramount on this record-breaking weekend!”
