'''Regal Entertainment Group''' is a major US cinema chain. Founded in 1989 as Regal Cinemas (its first location, the seven-screen Searstown Cinema in Titusville, Florida, was acquired from Orange State Theatres as a twin before the end of the year and opened the following March), within years they would become the owners of Edwards Theaters and United Artists Theaters. Regal, and rival [[AMC Theatres]], were owners of the joint venture [[Global Road Entertainment|Open Road Films]] from its founding in 2011, up to 2017. Since December 2017, Regal is currently owned by London-based Cineworld Group, after they purchased Regal for $3.6 billion, creating the world's second largest cinema group. | '''Regal Entertainment Group''' is a major US cinema chain.

'''Editor's Note:''' This trailer is a favorite of many, thanks to the fantastic CGI. It is very telling that they brought this back twice after the initial follow-ups failed to live up to this logo. | '''Editor's Note:''' This trailer is a favorite of many, thanks to the fantastic CGI.

'''Opening:''' On a black background, the white text "Feature Presentation" fades in, remains on-screen for a few seconds, and then fades out. | |||
''' | '''Trivia:''' This opening was seen after Regal's infamous "Pepsi Girl" policy trailer. The spot, starring Hallie Kate Eisenberg in her role from Pepsi's ad campaign at the time (where she'd lip-sync to male actors' voices for comical effect, in this case reading out movie theater rules at a wild west saloon), was widely lambasted by filmgoers and projectionists alike for its overlong and unfunny nature, and for replacing the beloved "Rollercoaster" trailer. There are reports that audiences would boo at the trailer and even throw objects at the screen while it was on. | ||
''' | '''FX/SFX:''' Just the fading. | ||
''' | '''Music/Sounds:''' None. | ||
''' | '''Availability:''' Extinct. This was only used for barely a year, and always came after the "Pepsi Girl" policy trailer. | ||
''' | '''Editor's Note:''' This is ridiculously bland and lazy compared to the previous logo, not helped by it ending an infamously terrible trailer. Due to the extreme outcry, the previous logo was brought back by Regal as a replacement. | ||

* As of late October 2018, the newer Regal logo is in place of the old one. The camera pans towards the screen slower in this variant, as to accommodate for the longer animation. | * As of late October 2018, the newer Regal logo is in place of the old one.
