Regal to offer $1 family movie tickets this summer. Here's what to know
Starting Tuesday, June 10, moviegoers can snag discounted tickets on select family films every Tuesday and Wednesday as part of its Summer Movie Express, the theater chain said.
More than 400 participating theaters will screen two PG-rated movies each week until Aug. 6, offering $1 tickets for the first show of the day, according to a news release.
'Once again, we are excited to bring back this highly anticipated summer program of crowd-pleasing entertainment for groups of all sizes at an incredibly affordable price,' Brooks LeBoeuf, senior vice president of U.S. Content for Regal, said in the release.
Family movies playing this summer include 'Sing 2,' 'IF,' 'PAW Patrol, The Movie,' and more.
Customers can also grab discounted concessions, including a $5 snack pack that comes with a small drink, snack-sized popcorn and fruit snacks, according to the movie theater's website.
The summer months are usually the busiest for most theaters, and 'foot traffic is everything,' The Hollywood Reporter reported in May 2024. Citing industry experts and data, the outlet reported that the profit margin on single tickets is around 33% and jumps to '56 percent on a concession.'
Rival AMC Theaters is also looking to woo moviegoers with half-priced tickets for Stubs Rewards members every Wednesday this summer, McClatchy News reported.
The discount launches July 9 and will be available in addition to the Tuesday ticket discount currently offered to the chain's rewards members.

Regina Spektor tells pro-Palestine protesters at concert: ‘You're just yelling at a Jew'
Singer-songwriter Regina Spektor's concert in Portland, Oregon, was interrupted by pro-Palestine protesters at the weekend, prompting her to tell them they were 'just yelling at a Jew'. Spektor, who is Jewish and emigrated with her family to New York from the Soviet Union as a child, was filmed by a fan as she addressed an audience member who started shouting 'free f***ing Palestine' during her performance at Revolution Hall on Saturday (26 July). After the first audience member interrupted the show, another fan apparently began repeating: 'Free, free Palestine'. Other pro-Israel fans shouted 'am Israel Chai' – Hebrew for 'the people of Israel live' – according to The Hollywood Reporter. Spektor, 45, has voiced her support of Israel in the past, including two days after the 7 October 2023 attack at Nova Music Festival. She wrote, in part: 'If you've devalued Jewish life so much that mourning murdered Jewish children at a festival, raped women, and the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust has offended you – leave.' Stereogum reported that one protester had charged the stage while shouting 'free Palestine', prompting Spektor to say: 'I don't know what he thinks he's doing. I really appreciate the security.' Spektor encouraged the pro-Palestine protesters to leave the show, remarking: 'This is not an internet comment section… I'm a real person who came here to play music.' 'If anybody wants to walk out, this is your chance. Does anybody else want to take a walk? You can.' In the fan video, some more attendees can be seen leaving the concert. Spektor told her audience: 'The only reason I even speak English is because I came here to escape this s***. I only speak English because I came from a country where people treated Jews as othered, and I'm being othered here and it sucks. 'It'd be nice if one of my family's generation didn't have to go to a new country and learn a new language and just stay put. Have nice lives, you guys.' The Independent has contacted Spektor's representative for comment. The incident at her concert comes amid growing tensions in the music industry surrounding artists' stances on the Israel-Gaza conflict. In October last year, Radiohead's Thom Yorke walked offstage after being confronted by a pro-Palestine protester, whom he branded a 'coward'. Last month, punk group Bob Vylan sparked controversy as they led Glastonbury crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]', a moment that was broadcast live by the BBC. The duo denied allegations of antisemitism, stating that their words were aimed at the Israeli government, not Jewish people. 'We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs, or any other race or group of people,' Bob Vylan said in a statement to Instagram. 'We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine.' Earlier this month, on 24 July, Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap were banned from Hungary for three years, forcing the band to cancel their scheduled performance at the country's Sziget Festival. Government spokesman Zoltán Kovács wrote on social media platform X that the decision to ban Kneecap was due to 'antisemitic hate speech and open praise for Hamas and Hezbollah'. In a statement on their social media channels, Kneecap blamed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for the ban, calling his government 'authoritarian' and criticising him for welcoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Hungary in April this year, despite a warrant for his arrest from the International Criminal Court over accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity. 'We stand against all hate crimes and Kneecap champions love and solidarity as well as calling out injustices where we see it,' the band said. This week, humanitarian organisations said that starvation and malnutrition have reached a critical point in Gaza as Israel continues to block essential humanitarian aid from entering the area.

Brad Pitt Has a Lesson for Formula 1's Green Makeover
Every film star entering their seventh decade knows they've reached an age when they have to play to type. If only venerable sports franchises had the same self-awareness. F1: The Movie, the Brad Pitt/Formula 1 crossover currently in cinemas, illustrates this contradiction perfectly. Pitt used to appear as romantic leads, sword-and-sandals heroes, comedy turns and in art-film roles. As he's aged into his sixties, that range has been boiled down to its original essence, leaving him typecast as a pretty, and increasingly rugged, maverick. Audiences don't seem to mind. F1: The Movie saw the biggest US opening for a Pitt vehicle since 2013's World War Z.

Featured films at AAIFF48: Slanted, Transplant and more With over 90 films being screened at this year's AAIFF, it would be impossible to list them all here, but here are a few highlights: The festival will kick off on Thursday, July 31st with a red carpet and screening of Slanted, which won the narrative feature competition at SXSW. Written and directed by Chinese-Australian filmmaker Amy Wang in her feature debut, the satirical thriller follows a Chinese-American teen who undergoes experimental surgery to look white in an effort to be named prom queen—a decision that leads to drastic and unforeseen consequences. Slanted stars Shirley Chen (Didi, Beast Beast), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Gifted) and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan (Never Have I Ever, Freakier Friday). A Q&A and reception will follow the screening. Shirley Chen stars as insecure Chinese-American teen Joan Huang in 'Slanted.' Tamil filmmaker Chithra Jeyaram's Love Chaos Kin upends the traditional narrative around transracial adoptions. The documentary tells the story of half-white, half-Native American twins who are adopted into a South Asian immigrant family. Complex questions about race, identity and belonging arise when the twins reconnect with their white birth mother and their estranged Navajo father. Decathlon: The CK Yang & Rafer Johnson Story, a documentary by Taiwanese-Canadian director Frank W. Chen, chronicles the real-life friendship and rivalry between C.K. Yang—the first Taiwanese athlete to win an Olympic medal—and American decathlete and Olympic gold medalist Rafer Johnson amidst the turbulent backdrop of the Cold War and the civil rights movement. AAIFF48's Centerpiece Screening is Transplant, a gripping thriller about an ambitious and gifted surgical resident who gets more than he bargained for when he comes under the tutelage of a preeminent heart transplant surgeon. Co-produced by Forest Whitaker and starring Korean-American K-pop star and multi-hyphenate entertainer Eric Nam, Transplant is the feature directorial debut of Korean-American filmmaker Jason Park, who also co-wrote and co-produced the film. A Q&A and reception will take place after the screening. Eric Nam stars as Jonah Yoon in 'Transplant.' The documentary Mistress Dispeller gives an intimate look into a bizarre profession that's burgeoning in China: the mistress dispeller. When a Chinese woman learns that her husband has been cheating on her with a younger woman, she enlists the help of Wang Zhenxi, a 'mistress dispeller' whose job it is to save their marriage and end the extramarital affair. Directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Elizabeth Lo, who also co-wrote and co-produced the film, Mistress Dispeller had its world premiere at last year's Venice International Film Festival and boasts a 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes as of this writing. In Shook Saamer Usmani (3 Body Problem, Succession) plays Ashish, an aspiring writer who struggles to navigate his parents' divorce, a stalled writing career and his father's Parkinson's diagnosis. But a budding romance with the charming barista Claire leads him to discover that life can still offer joy and fulfillment, even if it doesn't always go as planned. Directed, co-written and co-produced by Indo-Canadian documentary filmmaker Amar Wala, Shook marks Wala's scripted feature debut and is partly based on his own personal experiences. AAIFF48 will also feature a variety of short films grouped into 10 shorts showcases. Additionally, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Asian CineVision, AAIFF48 will host a series of panels and special events, including a showing of Filipino-American filmmaker H.P.
