Draft:Regal Cinemas: Difference between revisions

''Not to be confused with [[Regal Entertainment, Inc.|Regal Entertainment, Inc.]].''

===Background===

'''Variants:'''  

*'''1997-2002:''' The design of the car's interior, the sky background, the popcorn bags, and the second tunnel's exit have been changed. The Nestlé candies are replaced with Hershey candies (Milk Duds, Reese's cups, and Twizzlers) and Pepsi's "Project Blue" logo replaces the 1991 version (white background, stripe with Pepsi logo). The Regal Cinemas logo at the end (now in a gold color and on a space background) faces the screen directly and "FEATURE PRESENTATION" fades in below it in blue.

*'''2002:''' Coca-Cola branding was placed onto the former Pepsi cups.

*'''2002-2004:''' The dashboard is straight instead of curved with more details (including a handle that automatically moves). The Reese's are replaced with Raisinets, and the popcorn bags are redesigned. The rollercoaster was given a sleeker look with small spinning fans on the bottom, the Regal logo is changed from Regal Cinemas to Regal Entertainment Group, and "FEATURE PRESENTATION" is wiped in from the center with sparkling effects.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A futuristic rock-like orchestration which is kind of fast-paced to match the opening's roller coaster theme. Before the first drop, a female voice says: "Welcome to Regal Cinemas. Refreshments are available in the lobby. And please, keep our theatre clean by disposing of trash in the specified containers. And remember: gift certificates are available for any special occasion. Enjoy the show." At one point, there's a loud popcorn pop sound. A small finish is heard at the end of the logo. The original version was released in Dolby Stereo, before being remixed in Dolby Digital in 1998 (the popcorn pop sound was louder on screens equipped with Dolby Digital in the 1998 version).

*'''2002-2005:''' The voiceover says "Welcome to Regal Entertainment." at the start of the opening, some of the sound effects were altered and a 2-note electric guitar jingle was added at the end.

'''Availability:''' Extinct in theaters. A few Regal locations showed this opening as late as 2008.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Starting on September 17, 2010, this opening was only shown before some 3D movies (most auditoriums, including all 35mm auditoriums, screened the 6th opening, and some didn't use a standard policy trailer at all, only using the Sprint cell phone policy trailer) and back-to-back with the 6th opening, if at all.

'''Opening''': On a non-movie theatre, a hot dog, a candy bar, a coffee cup and a popcorn box holding an intermission sign walks from right to left. While this happens, the shot fades to a popcorn machine which disposes popcorn. While this scene happens, we fade to a family drinking and eating on a purple-yellow gradient background with the 1990 Regal bar table. This continues for a while which then fades to the 1990 Regal bar with a girl in it. When it is completely zoomed out "Let's All Go To the Lobby to get Ourselves a treat!" fades in. After a while, the logo fades out.
