'''Nickname:''' "Floating AT&T/Sprint/Geico/Regal Opening" | |||
'''Opening:''' The REG logo fades in (or in the AT&T variant, cuts in) over a dark, shadowy background. The logo sponsoring the trailer appears in some way (The AT&T logo spins multiple times before stopping, The Sprint logo juts in from the left and stops midway, "Sprint, The Now Network" appears after.) The REG logo is under a spotlight and dust particles are shining. Under the logos are as follows: Regal Cinemas, Edward's and United Artists Theaters. About 20 seconds in, two film projectors appear at the top-left and right areas in frame. They then spin and a light comes out of it. As this happens, the REG logo is ever-so-slowly spinning to the left. | |||
'''Trivia:''' | |||
Variant: | * According to a Regal employee, the film projectors are intended to signal the projectionist to reel up the movie to the projector. | ||
*A 3D version | |||

*In 2014, the phone company logo was removed. | *A 3D version was occasionally shown. It is the Sprint variant, with an added disclaimer to put on your 3D glasses for "the best experience". A video capture of the variant existed on YouTube, however it has since been removed. | ||
*A version sponsored by Geico is known to exist. | |||

Nicknames: "The Best Place to Watch a Movie", "The Aperture", "Is That Really a Crown?" | '''Nicknames:''' "The Best Place to Watch a Movie", "The Aperture", "Is That Really a Crown?" | ||
Logo: We see an orange camera aperture, with lots of orange crystals coming out of it. Those crystals start forming a crown. Once the crown is formed, it moves to the center of the screen, and rotates to a bird's eye view. A light in the crown forms an "R", creating the current Regal logo. the word "REGAL" wipes in underneath the logo, underneath which, the text "''the '''best''' place to watch a movie''" wipes in. the logo becomes 2D. and fades out. | '''Logo:''' We see an orange camera aperture, with lots of orange crystals coming out of it.

Trivia: The new logo’s orange color pays homage to Knoxville, the home of the Tennessee Volunteers, where Regal are based in. The logo itself represents the aperture of a camera, as well as a downward view of the signature Regal crown. | '''Trivia:''' The new logo’s orange color pays homage to Knoxville, the home of the Tennessee Volunteers, where Regal are based in.
