Author Topic: Regal Now Using Film-Guard Tyler Skinner Expert Film Handler Posts: 115 From: Pa Registered: Nov 1999 posted 03-05-2000 10:00 PM                     I just got a memo from Regal Corporate Office stating that film-guard will be added to the booth supplies order form. This is the only film cleaner included on the sheat (and first) hopefully many theaters will take advantage of this and use it. I know I will. tyler  |  IP: Logged Reeve Byrne Film Handler Posts: 35 From: Anchorage, Ak USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-05-2000 10:51 PM                     Thank God! I've been dying to see how the stuff works. And to see if it as good as everyone says it is. ------------------ "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-07-2000 03:36 PM                     I just heard that Regal filed Chapter 11 do you guys know if thats true?

It was bought by someone else awhile ago.

As far as i know, they have not filed chapter 11, although there is some serious debt. tyler  |  IP: Logged Mike Colley Film Handler Posts: 25 From: Dacula, GA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-07-2000 09:59 PM                     Regal actually is still called Regal. The page regarding the company that acquired Regal refers to a merger between Regal, a company called KKR(I believe that they owned Act III), and Hicks, Muse, Tate, & Furst(at that time the pending owner of UA). These three companies were to merge and operate under the Regal name. From what I heard, when the deal was close to happening Hicks, Muse, Tate, & Furst came back to UA and wanted more out of the deal than they were currently getting. UA decided to go back with Merrill-Lynch, which left Regal and KKR still at the table. Those two companies merged and Mike Campbell was chosen to run the new company. I believe it was at this time that Act III Theatres then ceased to exist as Act III. In hindsight, maybe UA would have been better off to go with the deal, considering their current desperate financial situation. ------------------ Mike Colley Regal Cinemas Hollywood 24 Atlanta, GA  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-07-2000 11:04 PM                     So I guess that means that Mike Campbell will get the Showester award next year ha?  |  IP: Logged Joshua Lott Expert Film Handler Posts: 246 From: Fairbanks, AK, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 03-08-2000 06:54 AM                        To the best of my knowledge I believe Mr. Campbell won the Showester award last year. And ACTIII was sold right before the merger, up untill then it was owned by an individual.  |  IP: Logged
