Summer is heating up, and Regal is offering the perfect way for families to cool down without breaking the bank. The Summer Movie Express (SMX) program is officially returning for 2026, bringing eleven weeks of family-friendly favorites to over 380 theatres nationwide. Starting June 1 through August 13, participating Regal locations will host morning screenings every Monday through Thursday at 11:00 a.m. Of course, the best part is tickets are just $1.00.
Regal Summer Movie Express: A Tradition of Affordable Magic
Since 1991, Regal has provided this budget-friendly entertainment option to bridge the gap between generations of movie lovers. Beyond the low price point, the program gives back to the community, with a portion of all admission proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
“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,” said Brooks LeBoeuf, senior vice president of U.S. Content at Regal. “Every year, moviegoers of all ages gather at Regal theatres to escape the heat at our Summer Movie Express series of family-friendly films.”
