During the Thanksgiving break from Wednesday, November 27th through Sunday December 1st, family and friends gathered at dinner tables and movie theaters to celebrate the holiday. Over the five-day period, Regal welcomed 5 million guests to its locations across the country, setting attendance records and establishing other historic benchmarks. Regal achieved its highest all-time Thanksgiving attendance, highest all-time Thanksgiving box office, and the highest all-time Thanksgiving concessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regal\u2019s exclusive merchandise for Gladiator II<\/em>, Moana 2<\/em>, Red One<\/em>, and Wicked<\/em> also proved to be incredibly popular for moviegoers with several items reaching sellout status by the Black Friday shopping weekend. The Gladiator II<\/em> helmet popcorn tin, the Moana 2<\/em> wave popcorn bucket, and the Wicked<\/em> Glinda and Elphaba hexagonal combo container sets have been Regal\u2019s recent top performing merch, but the next hot collectible items are coming soon with the releases of Mufasa: The Lion King<\/em>, Nosferatu<\/em>, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTis the season for moviegoing \u2026 the Thanksgiving weekend has completely exceeded our wildest expectations with records for Regal Cineworld in attendance, box office, and concessions.
