KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest theatre circuit in the United States, today announced a special advance opening date for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Regal Entertainment Group will open the movie at 9:00PM on Thursday, December 15 in 80 premium format theatres. This early start date gives moviegoers a chance to enjoy the action-packed movie days before the film’s wide release on Wednesday, December 21.
“Regal Entertainment Group is pleased to offer Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol beginning December 15th at 80 selected IMAX and Regal Premium Experience theatres across the country. It’s an exciting way to enjoy this highly-anticipated movie event in an environment with uncompromising quality for both sight and sound,” stated Dick Westerling, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Advertising for Regal Entertainment Group.
In the latest Mission: Impossible, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the entire IMF agency are blamed for a terrorist attack on the Kremlin and disavowed by the U.S. government when the president initiates the "Ghost Protocol." Forced to go off the grid and left without resources or backup, Hunt must somehow clear the agency's name and prevent another attack. Complicating matters even more, Ethan must undertake this impossible mission with a group of fellow IMF fugitives whose true motives are suspect.
Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol has been rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action and violence. The movie opens exclusively in premium format locations for the first show at 9:00PM on Thursday, December 15. Tickets and showtimes are available at the box office or online at www.REGmovies.com/MissionImpossibleIMAXRPX.aspx.
