Knoxville, Tennessee - October 6, 2009 - Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest theatre circuit in the United States, announced today that tickets are on sale for Where the Wild Things Are: The IMAX Experience. The movie opens Friday, October 16 at a total of 34 Regal Entertainment Group IMAX theatres across the country.
"Regal Entertainment Group is proud to offer this great family film in The IMAX Experience. Our IMAX theatres will offer a unique look into the world of the 'Wild Things' as this world-renowned book makes its journey to the giant screen. Parents and children alike will be amazed by the larger-than-life images on our IMAX screens," stated Dick Westerling, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Advertising for Regal Entertainment Group.
Director Spike Jonze collaborates with celebrated author Maurice Sendak to bring one of the most beloved books of all time to the big screen in Where the Wild Things Are, a classic story about childhood and the places we go to figure out the world we live in. The film tells the story of Max, a rambunctious and sensitive boy who feels misunderstood at home and escapes to where the Wild Things are. Max lands on an island where he meets mysterious and strange creatures whose emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions. The Wild Things desperately long for a leader to guide them, just as Max longs for a kingdom to rule. When Max is crowned king, he promises to create a place where everyone will be happy. Max soon finds, though, that ruling a kingdom is not so easy and his relationships there prove to be more complicated than he originally thought. Warner Brothers' Where the Wild Things Are is rated PG for mild thematic elements, some adventure action and brief language
