("REH"), which is the parent company of Regal Cinemas Corporation ("Regal Cinemas") and its subsidiaries. Regal Cinemas' subsidiaries include Regal Cinemas, Inc. ("RCI") and its subsidiaries, which include Edwards Theatres, Inc. ("Edwards"), Regal CineMedia Corporation ("RCM"), Hoyts Cinemas Corporation ("Hoyts") and United Artists Theatre Company ("United Artists"). The terms Regal or the Company, REH, Regal Cinemas, RCI, Edwards, RCM, Hoyts and United Artists shall be deemed to include the respective subsidiaries of such entities when used in discussions included herein regarding the current operations or assets of such entities.

        Our Internet address is www.regmovies.com. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to these reports, are available free of charge on our Internet website under the heading "Investor Relations" as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("the Commission").

        The Company manages its business under one reportable segment: theatre exhibition operations.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

        We operate the largest and most geographically diverse theatre circuit in the United States, consisting of 6,698 screens in 539 theatres in 37 states and the District of Columbia as of December 30, 2010, with over 224 million attendees for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2010 ("fiscal 2010"). Our geographically diverse circuit includes theatres in 43 of the top 50 U.S. designated market areas. We operate multi-screen theatres and have an average of 12.4 screens per location, which is well above the North American motion picture exhibition industry 2009 average of 6.6 screens per location. We develop, acquire and operate multi-screen theatres primarily in mid-sized metropolitan markets and suburban growth areas of larger metropolitan markets throughout the U.S. with a national footprint representing approximately 16.9% of total U.S. screens as of December 30, 2010.

        The Company's fiscal year ends on the first Thursday after December 25, which in certain years (such as fiscal 2008) results in a 53-week fiscal year. For fiscal 2010, we reported total revenues, income from operations and net income attributable to controlling interest of $2,807.9 million, $215.8 million and $77.6 million, respectively. In addition, we generated $259.4 million of cash flows from operating activities during fiscal 2010.

        We maintain an investment in National CineMedia, LLC ("National CineMedia" or "NCM"). National CineMedia primarily concentrates on in-theatre advertising and creating complementary business lines that leverage the operating personnel, asset and customer bases of its theatrical

4

exhibition partners, which includes us, AMC Entertainment, Inc. ("AMC") and Cinemark, Inc. ("Cinemark"). National CineMedia operates the largest digital in-theatre network in North America and utilizes its in-theatre digital content network to distribute pre-feature advertising, cinema and lobby advertising and entertainment programming content. See "National CineMedia Joint Venture" under Part I, Item I of this Form 10-K for further discussion of National CineMedia.

Business Strategy

        Key elements of our business strategy include:

        Maximizing Stockholder Value.    We believe that our cash dividends are an efficient means of distributing value to our stockholders. From our initial public offering ("IPO") in May 2002 through December 30, 2010, we have returned approximately $3.1 billion to our stockholders in the form of cash dividends.

        Pursuing Selective Growth Opportunities.    We intend to selectively pursue expansion opportunities through new theatre construction that meets our strategic and financial return criteria. We also intend to enhance our theatre operations by selectively expanding and upgrading existing properties in prime locations. In addition, we will continue to expand our loyalty program and create new strategic interactive marketing programs aimed at increasing attendance and to enhance our food and beverage offerings.

        Pursuing Premium Experience Opportunities.    We continue to embrace new technologies to deliver a premium movie-going experience for our customers on three complementary fronts:

•

During fiscal 2010, the Company focused on an accelerated deployment of 3D compatible digital projection systems to a majority of its first run U.S. theatres and expects to continue the accelerated 3D deployment into the first half of 2011. As of December 30, 2010, we operated 2,202 screens outfitted with digital projection systems, 1,710 of which are digital 3D capable. We expect all of our screens to be outfitted with digital projection systems by late 2012 or early 2013, with approximately 40% of our total screens being digital 3D capable by mid-2011.

•

Second, we renegotiated our agreement with IMAX® during fiscal 2010 to expand our IMAX® footprint by agreeing to install a total of up to 77 IMAX® digital projection systems by the end of 2012. We believe that expanding our IMAX® footprint, combined with a more favorable allocation of costs included in the new agreement, will continue to have a positive impact on our operating results.

•

Finally, as of December 30, 2010, we had converted seven of our auditoriums to our proprietary large screen format known as "Regal Premium Experience" ("RPX^(SM)"). We have been encouraged by the initial results of RPX^(SM) and expect to expand our RPX^(SM) footprint by converting up to 12 additional auditoriums throughout 2011.

        We believe the installation of 3D digital projection systems and IMAX® theatres systems and the conversion of existing auditoriums to RPX^(SM) auditoriums allow us to offer our patrons premium 3D movie and large all-digital format experiences that we believe generate incremental revenue and cash flows for the Company. We remain optimistic regarding the benefits of digital cinema primarily as it relates to future growth potential associated with 3D film product and other 3D content and are pleased to see continued support of 3D and IMAX® film product by the major motion picture studios.

        Pursuing Strategic Acquisitions.    We believe that our acquisition experience and capital structure position us well to take advantage of future acquisition opportunities. We intend to selectively pursue accretive theatre acquisitions that enhance our asset base and improve our consolidated operating results.

5

        We believe our business strategy should enable us to continue to produce the free cash flow necessary to maintain a prudent allocation of our capital among dividend payments, debt service and repayment and investment in our theatres assets, all to provide meaningful value to our stockholders.

Competitive Strengths

        We believe that the following competitive strengths position us to capitalize on future opportunities:

        Industry Leader.    We are the largest domestic motion picture exhibitor operating 6,698 screens in 539 theatres in 37 states and the District of Columbia. We believe that the quality and size of our theatre circuit is a significant competitive advantage for negotiating attractive national contracts and generating economies of scale. We believe that our market leadership allows us to capitalize on favorable attendance trends and attractive consolidation opportunities.

        Superior Management Drives Strong Operating Margins.    We have developed a proven operating philosophy focused on efficient operations and strict cost controls at both the corporate and theatre levels. At the corporate level, we are able to capitalize on our size and operational expertise to achieve economies of scale in purchasing and marketing functions. We have developed an efficient purchasing and distribution supply chain that generates favorable concession margins. At the theatre level, management devotes significant attention to cost controls through the use of detailed management reports and performance-based compensation programs to encourage theatre managers to control costs effectively and increase concession sales.

        Proven Acquisition and Integration Expertise.    We have significant experience identifying, completing and integrating acquisitions of theatre circuits. Since our 2002 initial public offering, we have demonstrated our ability to enhance revenues and realize operating efficiencies through the successful acquisition and integration of seven theatre circuits, consisting of 157 theatres and 1,808 screens. We have generally achieved immediate cost savings at acquired theatres and improved their profitability through the application of our consolidated operating functions and key supplier contracts.

        Quality Theatre Portfolio.    We believe that we operate one of the most modern theatre circuits among major motion picture exhibitors. As of December 30, 2010, approximately 81% of our screens were located in theatres featuring stadium seating and approximately 86% of our screens were located in theatres with 10 or more screens. Our theatres have an average of 12.4 screens per location, which is well above the North American motion picture exhibition industry 2009 average of 6.6 screens per location. We believe that our modern theatre portfolio coupled with our operating margins should allow us to generate significant cash flows from operations. We believe that our theatre circuit will be further enhanced with the installation of digital projection systems in our theatres.

        Investment in National CineMedia.    National CineMedia operates the largest digital in-theatre network in North America representing approximately 17,300 U.S. and Canadian theatres screens (of which 15,700 are part of National CineMedia's digital content network) as of September 30, 2010 and reaching over 640 million movie guests annually. National CineMedia utilizes its in-theatre digital content network to distribute pre-feature advertising, cinema and lobby advertising and entertainment programming content. We believe our investment in National CineMedia will generate incremental value for our stockholders. See "National CineMedia Joint Venture" under Part I, Item I of this Form 10-K for further discussion of National CineMedia.

Dividend Policy

        We believe that paying dividends on our shares of common stock is important to our stockholders. To that end, during fiscal 2010, we paid to our stockholders four quarterly cash dividends of $0.18 per share, on each outstanding share of our Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately

6

$111.1 million in the aggregate. In addition, on December 30, 2010, Regal paid an extraordinary cash dividend of $1.40 per share on each outstanding share of its Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately $216.0 million. Further, on February 9, 2011, we declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share on each outstanding share of Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2011 to our stockholders of record on March 3, 2011. This dividend reflects a $0.03 per share increase from the Company's last quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share declared on October 28, 2010. These dividends have been or will be funded through cash flow from operations and available cash on hand. We, at the discretion of our board of directors and subject to applicable law, anticipate paying regular quarterly dividends on our Class A and Class B common stock for the foreseeable future. The amount, if any, of the dividends to be paid in the future will depend upon our then available cash, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, loan agreement restrictions, future prospects for earnings and cash flows, as well as other relevant factors. Dividends are considered quarterly and may be paid only when, and in such amounts as, approved by our board of directors.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND TRENDS

        The domestic motion picture exhibition industry is a mature business that has historically maintained steady long-term growth in revenues and attendance. Since 1965, total box office revenues have grown at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 5% with annual attendance of approximately 1.3 billion attendees in 2010. Against this background of steady long-term growth in revenues and attendance, the exhibition industry has experienced periodic short-term increases and decreases in attendance and, consequently, box office revenues. We expect the cyclical nature of the domestic motion picture exhibition industry to continue for the foreseeable future.

        More recently, the domestic motion picture exhibition industry has experienced increased competition from other methods of delivering films to consumers, including cable television, in-home video and DVD, satellite and pay-per-view services and downloads via the Internet. Traditionally, when motion picture distributors license their films to the domestic exhibition industry, they refrain from licensing their products to other delivery channels for a period of time, commonly called the theatrical release window. Over the past several years, the average period between a film's theatrical release and its in-home video or DVD release has remained relatively stable. However, we believe that a material contraction of the theatrical release window could significantly dilute the consumer appeal of the out-of-home motion picture offering. As a result, we continue to monitor the status of the theatrical release window during our film licensing decisions. Fundamentally, we believe that movie-going is a convenient, affordable and attractively priced form of out-of-home entertainment, which, on an average price per patron basis, continues to compare favorably to other out-of-home entertainment alternatives, such as concerts and sporting events.

        The domestic motion picture industry is in the process of converting from film-based media to electronic-based media, including the distribution of feature films in a digital format rather than a 35 mm film format. Virtually all entertainment content today can be exhibited digitally. Digital projection produces a consistent state-of-the-art presentation for patrons as there is no degradation of image over the exhibition period of the motion picture. We believe that operating a digital theatre circuit has enabled us to generate incremental revenue from differentiated motion picture formats such as digital 3D, IMAX® and RPX^(SM), generate additional revenue from exhibition of specialty content offerings and provide greater flexibility in scheduling our programming content, which we expect will enhance our capacity utilization. Given our market presence, the overall diversity of our patron base and our high average screen per theatre count, we believe the benefits associated with digital technologies will be significant for our theatre circuit and provide us with the opportunity for incremental revenue. We remain optimistic regarding the benefits of digital cinema primarily as it relates to future growth potential associated with 3D film product and other 3D content and are pleased to see growing support of 3D and IMAX® film product by the major motion picture studios. We have also experienced an

7

increase in alternative content available to us. As directors and producers continue to embrace new technology in their productions, we expect new and innovative content generation to continue. To that end, on February 12, 2007, we, along with AMC and Cinemark, formed Digital Cinema Implementation Partners, LLC ("DCIP"), to create a financing model and execute agreements with major motion picture studios for the implementation of digital cinema. During fiscal 2010, DCIP executed definitive agreements and related financing transactions in connection with the conversion to digital projection. During fiscal 2010, the Company focused on an accelerated deployment of 3D compatible digital projection systems to a majority of its first run U.S. theatres and expects to continue the accelerated 3D deployment into the first half of 2011. As of December 30, 2010, we operated 2,202 screens outfitted with digital projection systems, 1,710 of which are digital 3D capable. See "Digital Cinema Implementation Partners Joint Venture" under Part I, Item I of this Form 10-K for further discussion of this joint venture arrangement.

        We believe a modern megaplex featuring stadium seating is preferred by patrons over a sloped-floor multiplex theatre, the predominant theatre-type built prior to 1996. We believe theatres larger than the current 10 to 18 screen megaplex are not able to generate attractive returns in most locations because of the substantial market suitability requirements to generate a level of profitability similar to the current megaplex format. We also believe that another evolution of theatre formats beyond the current megaplex is unlikely to occur in the foreseeable future.

THEATRE OPERATIONS

        We operate the largest theatre circuit in the United States with 6,698 screens in 539 theatres in 37 states and the District of Columbia as of December 30, 2010. We operate theatres in 43 of the top 50 U.S. designated market areas, which include locations in suburban growth areas. We target prime locations with excellent access to large, high patron-traffic areas. We operate our theatre circuit using our Regal Cinemas, United Artists and Edwards brands through our wholly owned subsidiaries.

        We operate multi-screen theatres. Our multi-screen theatre complexes typically contain 10 to 18 screens, each with auditoriums ranging from 100 to 500 seats. As a result, our theatres appeal to a diverse group of patrons because we offer a wide selection of films and convenient show times. In addition, many of our theatres feature state-of-the-art amenities such as immersive wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling screens, Sony Digital Cinema™ 4K projection systems, digital stereo surround-sound, closed-captioning, multi-station concessions stands, computerized ticketing systems, plush stadium seating with cup holders and retractable armrests, enhanced interiors and exteriors and video game areas adjacent to the theatre lobby.

        We believe that our theatre circuit will be further enhanced with the installation of digital projection systems. We believe that operating a digital theatre circuit will enable us to generate incremental revenue from differentiated motion picture formats such as digital 3D, IMAX® and RPX^SM, generate additional revenue from exhibition of specialty content offerings and provide greater flexibility in scheduling our programming content, which we expect will enhance our capacity utilization.

        Our modern, multi-screen theatres are designed to increase profitability by optimizing revenues per square foot and reducing the cost per square foot of operation. We vary auditorium seating capacities within the same theatre, allowing us to exhibit films on a more cost effective basis for a longer period of time by shifting films to smaller auditoriums to meet changing attendance levels. In addition, we realize significant operating efficiencies by having common box office, concessions, projection, lobby and restroom facilities, which enables us to spread some of our costs, such as payroll, advertising and rent, over a higher revenue base. We stagger movie show times to reduce staffing requirements and lobby congestion and to provide more desirable parking and traffic flow patterns. We also actively monitor ticket sales in order to quickly recognize demand surges, which enables us to add seating capacity quickly and efficiently. In addition, we offer various forms of convenient ticketing methods, including print-at-home technology, self-serve kiosks, self-reserved seating and themed gift cards and e-gift cards. We believe that operating a theatre circuit consisting primarily of modern theatres enhances our ability to attract patrons.

        We have implemented a best management practices program across all of our theatres, including daily, weekly and monthly management reports generated for each individual theatre and we maintain active communication between the theatres, divisional management and corporate management. We use these management reports and communications to closely monitor admissions and concessions revenues as well as accounting, payroll and workforce information necessary to manage our theatre operations effectively and efficiently.

9

        We seek experienced theatre managers and require new theatre managers to complete a comprehensive training program within the theatres and at the "Regal Entertainment University," which is held at our corporate office. The program is designed to encompass all phases of theatre operations, including our operating philosophy, policies, procedures and standards. In addition, we have an incentive compensation program for theatre-level management that rewards theatre managers for controlling operating expenses while complying with our operating standards.

        In addition, we have implemented quality assurance programs in all of our theatres to maintain clean, comfortable and modern facilities. To maintain quality and consistency within our theatre circuit, district and regional managers regularly inspect each theatre. We also operate a "mystery shopper" program, which involves unannounced visits by unidentified customers who report on the quality of service, film presentation and cleanliness at individual theatres.

NATIONAL CINEMEDIA JOINT VENTURE

        In March 2005, Regal and AMC announced the combination of the operations of RCM and AMC's subsidiary, National Cinema Network, Inc. ("NCN"), into a joint venture company known as National CineMedia. In July 2005, Cinemark, through a wholly owned subsidiary, joined the National CineMedia joint venture. Since its inception, National CineMedia has primarily concentrated its efforts on in-theatre advertising, business meetings and non-feature film content distribution.

        As described further in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, on February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc. ("NCM, Inc."), a newly formed entity that serves as the sole manager of National CineMedia, completed an IPO of its common stock. In connection with the IPO of NCM, Inc., RCM, through its wholly owned subsidiary Regal CineMedia Holdings, LLC ("RCH"), AMC and Cinemark amended and restated the operating agreement of National CineMedia and other ancillary agreements. In connection with the series of transactions completed in connection with the IPO, Regal received gross cash proceeds totaling approximately $628.3 million and retained a 22.6% interest in NCM, Inc. After the payment of current taxes, net cash proceeds from these transactions totaled approximately $447.4 million.

        As described more fully in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, on April 9, 2008, March 17, 2009 and March 17, 2010 we received from National CineMedia approximately 0.8 million, 0.5 million and 0.3 million, respectively, newly issued common units of National CineMedia in accordance with the annual adjustment provisions of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. In addition, on May 29, 2008, we received from National CineMedia approximately 2.9 million newly issued common units of National CineMedia in accordance with the adjustment provisions of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement in connection with our acquisition of Consolidated Theatres. On August 18, 2010, we redeemed 4.2 million of our National CineMedia common units for a like number of shares of NCM, Inc. common stock, which we sold in an underwritten public offering for $16.00 per share, reducing our investment in National CineMedia by $13.7 million, the average carrying amount of the shares sold. We received approximately $64.5 million in proceeds after deducting related fees and expenses payable by us, resulting in a gain on sale of $50.8 million. In addition, on September 8, 2010, we redeemed an additional 0.1 million National CineMedia common units for a like number of shares of NCM, Inc. common stock and sold them to the underwriters to cover over-allotments at $16.00 per share, further reducing our investment in National CineMedia by $0.3 million, the average carrying amount of the shares sold. We received approximately $1.5 million of net proceeds from this sale, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.2 million. These transactions, together with National CineMedia's issuance of 6.5 million common units to AMC in the second quarter of 2010 as a result of an acquisition, had the effect of decreasing the Company's ownership share in National CineMedia. As a result, on a fully diluted basis, we own a 19.4% interest in NCM, Inc. as of December 30, 2010. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of National CineMedia.

DIGITAL CINEMA IMPLEMENTATION PARTNERS JOINT VENTURE

        On February 12, 2007, we, along with AMC and Cinemark, formed DCIP to create a financing model and establish agreements with major motion picture studios for the implementation of digital cinema in our theatres. On March 10, 2010, DCIP executed definitive agreements and related financing transactions in connection with the conversion to digital projection. Concurrent with closing, the Company entered into a master equipment lease agreement (the "Master Lease") and other related agreements (collectively, the "Digital Cinema Agreements") with Kasima, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of DCIP. Upon execution of the Digital Cinema Agreements, the Company made equity contributions to DCIP of approximately $41.7 million, consisting of $29.1 million in cash and 200 existing digital projection systems with a fair value of approximately $12.6 million (collectively, the "DCIP Contributions"). The Company recorded such DCIP Contributions as an increase in its investment in DCIP. In connection with the contribution of its 200 existing digital projection systems, the Company recorded a loss on the contribution of $2.0 million based on the excess of the carrying value of the digital projection systems contributed over the $12.6 million fair value (as determined by an independent appraisal) of such equipment. In addition, during May 2010, Regal sold an additional 337 digital projection systems to DCIP for aggregate proceeds of approximately $20.0 million. In connection with this sale, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of approximately $2.8 million. After giving effect to the DCIP Contributions, the Company holds a 46.7% economic interest in DCIP as of December 30, 2010, while continuing to maintain a one-third voting interest along with each of AMC and Cinemark. Since the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of DCIP or any of its subsidiaries, it will continue to account for its investment in DCIP under the equity method of accounting.

        The costs of implementing digital projection in our theatres will be substantially funded by DCIP. We expect DCIP to fund the cost of conversion to digital projection principally through the collection of virtual print fees from motion picture studios and equipment lease payments from participating exhibitors, including us. We will bear operating and maintenance costs with respect to digital projection systems in our theatres, which we expect to be relatively comparable to what we currently spend on our conventional film projectors. In accordance with the Master Lease, the digital projection systems are leased from Kasima, LLC under a twelve-year term with ten one-year fair value renewal options. The Master Lease also contains a fair value purchase option. Under the Master Lease, the Company pays annual minimum rent of $1,000 per digital projection system for the first six and a half years from the effective date of the agreement and is, upon certain conditions, subject to minimum annual rent of $3,000 per digital projection system beginning at six and a half years from the effective date of the agreement through the end of the lease term. The Company is also subject to various types of other rent if such digital projection systems do not meet minimum performance requirements as outlined in the Master Lease. Certain of the other rent payments are subject to either a monthly or an annual maximum. The Company accounts for the Master Lease as an operating lease for accounting purposes.

        The initial financing is expected to cover the cost of conversion to digital projection for approximately 70% of our circuit's screens. We ultimately expect to outfit our entire circuit with digital projection systems by late 2012 or early 2013, with approximately 40% of our total screens being digital 3D capable by mid-2011. As of December 30, 2010, we operated 2,202 screens outfitted with digital projection systems, 1,710 of which are digital 3D capable.

FILM DISTRIBUTION

        Domestic movie theatres are the primary initial distribution channel for domestic film releases. The theatrical success of a film is often the most important factor in establishing its value in other film distribution channels. Motion pictures are generally made available through several alternative distribution methods after the theatrical release date, including in-home video and DVD, cable television, broadcast television and satellite, pay-per-view services and downloads via the Internet. A

11

strong opening run at the theatre can help establish a film's success and substantiate the film's revenue potential. For example, the value of home video, DVD and pay cable distribution agreements frequently depends on the success of a film's theatrical release. As the primary distribution mechanism for the public's evaluation of films, we believe that domestic theatrical distribution remains the cornerstone of a film's overall financial success.

        The development of additional distribution channels has given motion picture producers the ability to generate a greater portion of a film's revenues through channels other than its theatrical release. Historically, this potential for increased revenue after a film's initial theatrical release has enabled major motion picture studios and some independent producers to increase the budgets for film production and advertising.

FILM EXHIBITION

        Evaluation of Film.    We license films on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis by negotiating directly with film distributors. Prior to negotiating for a film license, we evaluate the prospects for upcoming films. Criteria we consider for each film may include cast, producer, director, genre, budget, comparative film performances and various other market conditions. Successful licensing depends greatly upon the exhibitor's knowledge of trends and historical film preferences of the residents in markets served by each theatre, as well as the availability of commercially successful motion pictures.

        Access to Film Product.    Films are licensed from film distributors owned by major production companies and from independent film distributors that distribute films for smaller production companies. Film distributors typically establish geographic licensing zones and allocate each available film to one theatre within that zone.

        In licensing zones where we are the sole exhibitor, we obtain film licenses by selecting a film from among those films being offered and negotiating directly with the distributor. In zones where there is competition, a distributor will allocate films among the exhibitors in the zone. When films are licensed under the allocation process, a distributor will select an exhibitor for each film who then negotiates film rental terms directly with the distributor.

        Film Rental Fees.    Film licenses typically specify rental fees or formulas by which rental fees may be calculated. The primary formulas used are the "sliding scale" formula, a "firm term" formula and a "review or settlement." Under a sliding scale formula, the distributor receives a percentage of the box office receipts using a pre-determined and mutually agreed upon film rental template. This formula establishes film rental predicated on box office performance and is the predominant formula used by us to calculate film rental fees. Under the firm term formula, the exhibitor and distributor agree prior to the exhibition of the film on a specified percentage of the box office receipts to be remitted to the distributor. Lastly, under the review or settlement method, the exhibitor and distributor negotiate a percentage of the box office receipts to be remitted to the distributor upon completion of the theatrical engagement. These negotiations typically involve the use of historical settlements or past precedent.

        Duration of Film Licenses.    The duration of our film licenses are negotiated with our distributors on a case-by-case basis. The terms of our license agreements depend on performance of each film. Marketable movies that are expected to have high box office admission revenues will generally have longer license terms than movies with more uncertain performance and popularity.

        Relationship with Distributors.    Many distributors provide quality first-run movies to the motion picture exhibition industry. For fiscal 2010, ten major film distributors accounted for approximately 96% of our admissions revenues. Five of the ten major film distributors each accounted for more than 10% of fiscal 2010 admission revenues. No single film distributor accounted for more than 20% of fiscal 2010 admissions revenues. We license films from each of the major distributors and believe that our relationships with these distributors are good. From year to year, the revenues attributable to

12

individual distributors will vary widely depending upon the number and popularity of films that each one distributes.

CONCESSIONS

        In addition to box office admissions revenues, we generated approximately 25.8% of our total revenues from concessions sales during fiscal 2010. We emphasize prominent and appealing concession stations designed for rapid and efficient service. We continually seek to increase concessions sales by optimizing product mix and through expansion of our concession offerings, introducing special promotions from time to time and offering employee training and incentive programs to up-sell and cross-sell products. We have favorable concession supply contracts and have developed an efficient concession purchasing and distribution supply chain. Our management negotiates directly with manufacturers for many of our concession items to obtain competitive prices and to ensure adequate supplies.

COMPETITION

        The motion picture exhibition industry is highly competitive. Motion picture exhibitors generally compete on the basis of the following competitive factors:

•

ability to secure films with favorable licensing terms;

•

availability of stadium seating, location, reputation and seating capacity;

•

quality of projection and sound systems; and

•

ability and willingness to promote the films that are showing.

        We have several hundred competitors nationwide, which vary substantially in size, from small independent exhibitors to large national chains such as AMC and Cinemark. As a result, our theatres are subject to varying degrees of competition in the regions in which they operate. Our competitors, including newly established motion picture exhibitors, may build new theatres or screens in areas in which we operate, which may result in increased competition and excess capacity in those areas. If this occurs, it may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. As the largest motion picture exhibitor, however, we believe that we will be able to generate economies of scale and operating efficiencies that will give us a competitive advantage over many of our competitors.

        We also compete with other motion picture distribution channels, including home video and DVD, cable television, broadcast television and satellite, pay-per-view services and downloads via the Internet. Other technologies such as video on demand could also have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. When motion picture distributors licensed their products to the domestic exhibition industry, they refrained from licensing their motion pictures to these other distribution channels for a period of time, commonly called the theatrical release window. The theatrical release window has been stable over the past five to six years. However, we believe that a material contraction of the theatrical release window could significantly dilute the consumer appeal of the out-of-home motion picture offering. As a result, we continue to monitor the status of the theatrical release window during our film licensing decisions.

        In addition, we compete for the public's leisure time and disposable income with other forms of entertainment, including sporting events, concerts, live theatre and restaurants.

MARKETING AND ADVERTISING

        Currently, film distributors organize and finance multimedia advertising campaigns for major film releases. To market our theatres, we utilize Internet, newspaper and radio advertising to inform our patrons of film selections and show times. Newspaper advertisements are typically displayed in a single

13

grouping for all of our theatres located in a newspaper's circulation area. In many of our markets we employ special interactive marketing programs for specific films and concessions items.

        We have a frequent moviegoer loyalty program, named the Regal Crown Club®, in all of our markets and it is the largest loyalty program in our industry. Regal Crown Club® members are eligible for specified awards, such as concession items, based on purchases made at our participating theatres. As of December 30, 2010, we had over six million active members in the Regal Crown Club®. In addition, we seek to develop patron loyalty through a number of other marketing programs such as summer children's film series, cross-promotional ticket redemptions and promotions within local communities. We offer these programs only in selected markets. We plan to use these programs in markets where we believe patron loyalty can be further enhanced, and we will continue to evaluate our markets on a case-by-case basis to determine the suitability of these programs in individual regions.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

        We make extensive use of information technology ("IT") for the management of our business, our theatres, and other revenue generating operations. The revenue streams generated by attendance and concession sales are fully supported by information systems to monitor cash flow and to detect fraud and inventory shrinkage. We have implemented software and hardware solutions which provide for enhanced capabilities and efficiency within our theatre operations. These solutions have enabled us to sell gift cards at various major retailers, grocery stores and mass discounters and to redeem those gift cards at our theatre box offices and concession stands. We continue to expand our ability to sell tickets remotely by using our Internet ticketing partner, Fandango.com, and by deploying self-service customer activated terminals ("CATs") in appropriate theatres. The CATs can sell tickets for current and future shows and provide the capability to retrieve tickets purchased through Fandango.com. We continue to invest in IT to improve services to our patrons and provide information to our management, allowing them to operate our theatres efficiently.

        Our scheduling systems support the coordination needed to properly allocate our auditoriums between film showings and meetings and events of National CineMedia, while also ensuring that movie audiences view the intended advertising and that revenue is allocated to the appropriate business function. The scheduling systems also provide information electronically and automatically to the newspapers, which allows them to publish correct show starting times with approved advertising graphics. The sales and attendance information collected by the theatre systems is used directly for film booking and settlement as well as being the primary source of data for our financial systems.

SEASONALITY

        Our revenues are usually seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, motion picture studios release the most marketable motion pictures during the summer and the holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can alter the traditional trend. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one fiscal quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next fiscal quarter or any other fiscal quarter. The seasonality of motion picture exhibition, however, has become less pronounced as motion picture studios are releasing motion pictures somewhat more evenly throughout the year.

EMPLOYEES

        As of February 3, 2011, we employed approximately 22,061 persons. Some of our facilities employ union projectionists. The Company's expansion into new markets may increase the number of employees represented by unions. The Company considers its employee relations to be good.

14

REGULATION

        The distribution of motion pictures is in large part regulated by federal and state antitrust laws and has been the subject of numerous antitrust cases. Consent decrees effectively require major film distributors to offer and license films to exhibitors, including us, on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Consequently, exhibitors cannot assure themselves of a supply of films by entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must negotiate for licenses on a film-by-film basis.

        Our theatres must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA") to the extent that such properties are "public accommodations" and/or "commercial facilities" as defined by the ADA. Compliance with the ADA requires that public accommodations "reasonably accommodate" individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations made to "commercial facilities" conform to accessibility guidelines unless "structurally impracticable" for new construction or technically infeasible for alterations. Non-compliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, fines, an award of damages to private litigants and additional capital expenditures to remedy such non-compliance.

        We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all current applicable regulations relating to accommodations for the disabled. We intend to comply with future regulations in this regard and except as set forth in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, we do not currently anticipate that compliance will require us to expend substantial funds.

        Our theatre operations are also subject to federal, state and local laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship and health and sanitation and environmental protection requirements. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        Some of the information in this Form 10-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-K, including, without limitation, certain statements under "Business" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" may constitute forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify these forward-looking statements by words like "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of those words and other comparable words. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those indicated in these statements as a result of certain risk factors as more fully discussed under "Risk Factors" below.

15

Item 1A.    RISK FACTORS.

Investing in our securities involves a significant degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-K, you should consider the following factors before investing in our securities.

Our substantial lease and debt obligations could impair our financial condition.

        We have substantial lease and debt obligations. For fiscal 2010, our total rent expense and net interest expense were approximately $382.3 million and $148.1 million, respectively. As of December 30, 2010, we had total debt obligations of $2,073.0 million. As of December 30, 2010, we had total contractual cash obligations of approximately $6,381.1 million. For a detailed discussion of our contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments over the next several years, refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Cash Obligations and Commitments" provided in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K.

        If we are unable to meet our lease and debt service obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our obligations and seek additional equity financing or sell assets. We may be unable to restructure or refinance our obligations and obtain additional equity financing or sell assets on satisfactory terms or at all. As a result, inability to meet our lease and debt service obligations could cause us to default on those obligations. Many of our lease agreements and the agreements governing the terms of our debt obligations contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specific actions (including paying dividends to our stockholders) or require us not to allow specific events to occur and prescribe minimum financial maintenance requirements that we must meet. If we violate those restrictive covenants or fail to meet the minimum financial requirements contained in a lease or debt instrument, we could be in default under that instrument, which could, in turn, result in defaults under other leases and debt instruments. Any such defaults could materially impair our financial condition and liquidity.

Our theatres operate in a competitive environment.

        The motion picture exhibition industry is fragmented and highly competitive with no significant barriers to entry. Theatres operated by national and regional circuits and by small independent exhibitors compete with our theatres, particularly with respect to film licensing, attracting patrons and developing new theatre sites. Moviegoers are generally not brand conscious and usually choose a theatre based on its location, the films showing there and its amenities.

        Generally, stadium seating found in modern megaplex theatres is preferred by patrons over slope-floored multiplex theatres, which were the predominant theatre-type built prior to 1996. Although, as of December 30, 2010, approximately 81% of our screens were located in theatres featuring stadium seating, we still serve many markets with sloped-floored multiplex theatres. These theatres may be more vulnerable to competition than our modern megaplex theatres, and should other theatre operators choose to build and operate modern megaplex theatres in these markets, the performance of our theatres in these markets may be significantly and negatively impacted. In addition, should other theatre operators return to the aggressive building strategies undertaken in the late 1990's, our attendance, revenue and income from operations per screen could decline substantially.

An increase in the use of alternative film delivery methods may drive down movie theatre attendance and reduce ticket prices.

        We also compete with other movie delivery vehicles, including cable television, downloads via the Internet, in-home video and DVD, satellite and pay-per-view services. When motion picture distributors license their products to the domestic exhibition industry, they refrain from licensing their motion pictures to these other delivery vehicles during the theatrical release window. The theatrical release window has been stable over the past five to six years. We believe that a material contraction of the

16

current theatrical release window could significantly dilute the consumer appeal of the in-theatre motion picture offering, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We also compete for the public's leisure time and disposable income with other forms of entertainment, including sporting events, concerts, live theatre and restaurants.

We depend on motion picture production and performance.

        Our ability to operate successfully depends upon the availability, diversity and appeal of motion pictures, our ability to license motion pictures and the performance of such motion pictures in our markets. We license first-run motion pictures, the success of which has increasingly depended on the marketing efforts of the major motion picture studios. Poor performance of, or any disruption in the production of these motion pictures (including by reason of a strike or lack of adequate financing), or a reduction in the marketing efforts of the major motion picture studios, could hurt our business and results of operations. In addition, a change in the type and breadth of movies offered by motion picture studios may adversely affect the demographic base of moviegoers.

We depend on our relationships with film distributors.

        The film distribution business is highly concentrated, with ten major film distributors accounting for approximately 96% of our admissions revenues during fiscal 2010. Our business depends on maintaining good relations with these distributors. In addition, we are dependent on our ability to negotiate commercially favorable licensing terms for first-run films. A deterioration in our relationship with any of the ten major film distributors could affect our ability to negotiate film licenses on favorable terms or our ability to obtain commercially successful films and, therefore, could hurt our business and results of operations.

No assurance of a supply of motion pictures.

        The distribution of motion pictures is in large part regulated by federal and state antitrust laws and has been the subject of numerous antitrust cases. Consent decrees resulting from those cases effectively require major motion picture distributors to offer and license films to exhibitors, including us, on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Consequently, we cannot assure ourselves of a supply of motion pictures by entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must compete for our licenses on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis.

We may not benefit from our acquisition strategy.

        We may have difficulty identifying suitable acquisition candidates. Even if we do identify such candidates, we anticipate significant competition from other motion picture exhibitors and financial buyers when trying to acquire these candidates, and there can be no assurances that we will be able to acquire such candidates at reasonable prices or on favorable terms. Moreover, some of these possible buyers may be stronger financially than we are. As a result of this competition for limited assets, we may not succeed in acquiring suitable candidates or may have to pay more than we would prefer to make an acquisition. If we cannot identify or successfully acquire suitable acquisition candidates, we may not be able to successfully expand our operations and the market price of our securities could be adversely affected.

        In any acquisition, we expect to benefit from cost savings through, for example, the reduction of overhead and theatre level costs, and from revenue enhancements resulting from the acquisition. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from these acquisitions to service any indebtedness incurred to finance such acquisitions or realize any other anticipated benefits. Nor can there be any assurance that our profitability will be improved by any one or more acquisitions. If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow to service debt incurred to finance an

17

acquisition, our results of operations and profitability would be adversely affected. Any acquisition may involve operating risks, such as:

•

the difficulty of assimilating the acquired operations and personnel and integrating them into our current business;

•

the potential disruption of our ongoing business;

•

the diversion of management's attention and other resources;

•

the possible inability of management to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;

•

the risks of entering markets in which we have little or no experience;

•

the potential impairment of relationships with employees;

•

the possibility that any liabilities we may incur or assume may prove to be more burdensome than anticipated;

•

the possibility that any acquired theatres or theatre circuit operators do not perform as expected; and

•

the possibility that the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice may require us to dispose of existing or acquired theatres in order to complete acquisition opportunities.

Our investment in and revenues from National CineMedia may be negatively impacted by the competitive environment in which National CineMedia operates.

        As of December 30, 2010, we owned approximately 19.4% of National CineMedia. In addition, we receive theatre access fees and mandatory distributions of excess cash from National CineMedia. National CineMedia's in-theatre advertising operations compete with other cinema advertising companies and other advertising mediums including, most notably, television, newspaper, radio and the Internet. There can be no guarantee that in-theatre advertising will continue to attract major advertisers or that National CineMedia's in-theatre advertising format will be able to generate expected sales of advertising. Although we have representation on the board of directors of National CineMedia, we do not control this business. Should National CineMedia fail to maintain the level of profitability it hopes to achieve, its results of operations may be adversely affected and our investment in and earnings and cash flows from National CineMedia may be adversely impacted.

We depend on our senior management.

        Our success depends upon the retention of our senior management, including Michael Campbell, our Executive Chairman and Amy Miles, our Chief Executive Officer. We cannot assure you that we would be able to find qualified replacements for the individuals who make up our senior management if their services were no longer available. The loss of services of one or more members of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The loss of any member of senior management could adversely affect our ability to effectively pursue our business strategy.

The interests of our controlling stockholder may conflict with your interests.

        Anschutz Company owns all of our outstanding Class B common stock. Our Class A common stock has one vote per share while our Class B common stock has ten votes per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. As a result, as of December 30, 2010, Anschutz Company controlled approximately 78% of the voting power of all of our outstanding common stock. For as long as

18

Anschutz Company continues to own shares of common stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, it will be able to elect all of the members of our board of directors and determine the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including matters involving mergers or other business combinations, the acquisition or disposition of assets, the incurrence of indebtedness, the issuance of any additional shares of common stock or other equity securities and the payment of dividends on our common stock. Anschutz Company will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control, and could take other actions that might be desirable to Anschutz Company but not to other stockholders. In addition, Anschutz Company and its affiliates have controlling interests in companies in related and unrelated industries, including interests in the sports, motion picture production and music entertainment industries. In the future, it may combine our company with one or more of its other holdings.

A prolonged economic downturn could materially affect our business by reducing consumer spending on movie attendance or could have an impact on our business and financial condition in ways that we currently cannot predict.

        We depend on consumers voluntarily spending discretionary funds on leisure activities. Motion picture theatre attendance may be affected by prolonged negative trends in the general economy that adversely affect consumer spending, including those resulting from terrorist attacks on, or wars or threatened wars involving, the United States. A prolonged reduction in consumer confidence or disposable income in general may affect the demand for motion pictures or severely impact the motion picture production industry, which, in turn, could adversely affect our operations. If economic conditions become weak or deteriorate, or if financial markets experience significant disruption, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity. For example, deteriorating conditions in the global credit markets could negatively impact our business partners which may impact film production, the development of new theatres or the enhancement of existing theatres, including delaying the deployment of new projection and other technologies to our theatres.

        In addition, our ability to access capital markets may be restricted at times when the implementation of our business strategy may require us to do so, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. For example, our future ability to borrow on our revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") or the effectiveness of our remaining and future interest rate hedging arrangements could be negatively impacted if one or more counterparties files for bankruptcy protection or otherwise fails to perform their obligations thereunder. All of these factors could adversely affect our credit ratings, the market price of our Class A common stock and our financial condition and results of operations.

Substantial sales of our Class A common stock could cause the market price for our Class A common stock to decline.

        We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our Class A common stock or the availability of shares of our Class A common stock for sale will have on the market price of our Class A common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that those sales will occur, could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline.

        As of February 22, 2011, we had outstanding 23,708,639 shares of Class B common stock that may convert into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, all of which shares of common stock constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act. Provided the holders comply with the applicable volume limits and other conditions prescribed in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, all of these restricted securities are currently freely tradable.

19

        Anschutz Company is able to sell their shares pursuant to the registration rights that we have granted. We cannot predict whether substantial amounts of our Class A common stock will be sold in the open market in anticipation of, or following, any divestiture by Anschutz Company or our directors or executive officers of their shares of our common stock.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws contain anti-takeover protections, which may discourage or prevent a takeover of our company, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders.

        Provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as amended, as well as provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, could delay or make it more difficult to remove incumbent directors or for a third party to acquire us, even if a takeover would benefit our stockholders.

Our issuance of shares of preferred stock could delay or prevent a change of control of our company.

        Our board of directors has the authority to cause us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, in one or more series, to designate the number of shares constituting any series, and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, redemption price or prices and liquidation preferences of such series. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders, even where stockholders are offered a premium for their shares.

Our issuance of preferred stock could dilute the voting power of the common stockholders.

        The issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our other classes of voting stock either by diluting the voting power of our other classes of voting stock if they vote together as a single class, or by giving the holders of any such preferred stock the right to block an action on which they have a separate class vote even if the action were approved by the holders of our other classes of voting stock.

Our issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the market value of our common stock.

        The issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable to the holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive. For example, investors in the common stock may not wish to purchase common stock at a price above the conversion price of a series of convertible preferred stock because the holders of the preferred stock would effectively be entitled to purchase common stock at the lower conversion price causing economic dilution to the holders of common stock.

We are a holding company dependent on our subsidiaries for our ability to service our debt and pay our dividends.

        Regal is a holding company with no operations of our own. Consequently, our ability to service our and our subsidiaries' debt and pay dividends on our common stock is dependent upon the earnings from the businesses conducted by our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to provide us with funds for our payment obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. Any distribution of earnings to us from our subsidiaries, or advances or other distributions of funds by these subsidiaries to us, all of which are subject to statutory or contractual restrictions, are contingent upon the subsidiaries' earnings and are

20

subject to various business considerations. Our right to receive any assets of any of our subsidiaries upon their liquidation or reorganization, and therefore the right of the holders of our 9¹/8% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "9¹/8% Senior Notes") and 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes due March 15, 2011 (the "6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes") and our common stock to participate in those assets, will be structurally subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary's creditors. In addition, even if we were a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of our subsidiaries and any indebtedness of our subsidiaries senior to that held by us.

Hedging transactions and other transactions.

        We have entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with respect to our Class A common stock, the exposure for which was held by Credit Suisse International ("Credit Suisse") at the time the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes were issued. The convertible note hedge and warrant transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes. In connection with these hedging arrangements, Credit Suisse has taken positions in our Class A common stock in secondary market transactions and/or entered into various derivative transactions after the pricing of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes. Such hedging arrangements could affect the price of our Class A common stock. Credit Suisse may modify its hedge positions from time to time prior to the March 15, 2011 maturity of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes by purchasing and selling shares of our Class A common stock, other securities of Regal or other instruments we may wish to use in connection with such hedging. We cannot assure you that such activity will not affect the market price of our Class A common stock. For further description of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Item 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

        As of December 30, 2010, there are no unresolved comments from the Commission regarding any of our periodic or current reports filed under the Exchange Act.

Item 2.    PROPERTIES.

        As of December 30, 2010, we operated 476 theatre locations pursuant to lease agreements and owned the land and buildings in fee for 63 theatre locations. For a list of the states in which we operated theatres and the number of theatres and screens operated in each such state as of December 30, 2010, please see the chart under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K under the caption "Business—Theatre Operations", which is incorporated herein by reference.

        The majority of our leased theatres are subject to lease agreements with original terms of 15 to 20 years or more and, in most cases, renewal options for up to an additional 10 years. These leases provide for minimum annual rentals and the renewal options generally provide for rent increases. Some leases require, under specified conditions, further rental payments based on a percentage of revenues above specified amounts. A significant majority of the leases are net leases, which require us to pay the cost of insurance, taxes and a portion of the lessor's operating costs. Our corporate office is located in Knoxville, Tennessee. We believe that these facilities are adequate for our operations.

Item 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

        Pursuant to General Instruction G(2) to Form 10-K and Rule 12b-23 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the information required to be furnished by us under this Part I, Item 3 (Legal Proceedings) is incorporated by reference to the information contained in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

        On February 22, 2011, there were approximately 271 stockholders of record of our Class A common stock and one stockholder of record of our Class B common stock.

        Additionally, as of February 22, 2011, approximately 525,638 shares of our Class A common stock are issuable upon exercise of stock options that vest and are exercisable at various dates through June 23, 2014, with exercise prices ranging from $2.2090 to $14.6414. All such options were exercisable as of February 22, 2011. Finally, as of February 22, 2011 our officers, directors and key employees hold, or in the case of performance shares are eligible to receive, approximately 2,496,428 restricted shares of our Class A common stock, for which the restrictions lapse or the performance criteria and vesting may be satisfied, at various dates through January 12, 2015.

Dividend Policy

        During fiscal 2010, we paid to our stockholders four quarterly cash dividends of $0.18 per share, on each outstanding share of our Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately $111.1 million in the aggregate. In addition, on December 30, 2010, Regal paid an extraordinary cash dividend of $1.40 per share on each outstanding share of its Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately $216.0 million. During fiscal 2009, we paid to our stockholders four quarterly cash dividends of $0.18 per share, on each outstanding share of our Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately $110.8 million in the aggregate. On February 9, 2011, we declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share on each outstanding share of Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2011 to our stockholders of record on March 3, 2011. This dividend reflects a $0.03 per share increase from the Company's last quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share declared on

23

October 28, 2010. These dividends have been or will be funded through cash flow from operations and available cash on hand. We, at the discretion of our board of directors and subject to applicable law, anticipate paying regular quarterly dividends on our Class A and Class B common stock for the foreseeable future. The amount, if any, of the dividends to be paid in the future will depend upon our then available cash, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, loan agreement restrictions, future prospects for earnings and cash flows, as well as other relevant factors. For a description of the loan agreement restrictions on the payment of dividends, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources" included in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K and Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of Regal Entertainment Group for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Regal and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Overview and Basis of Presentation

        We conduct our operations through our wholly owned subsidiaries. We operate the largest and most geographically diverse theatre circuit in the United States, consisting of 6,698 screens in 539 theatres in 37 states and the District of Columbia as of December 30, 2010. We believe the size, reach and quality of our theatre circuit provide an exceptional platform to realize economies of scale from our theatre operations. We also maintain an investment in National CineMedia, which concentrates on in-theatre advertising and creating complementary business lines that leverage the operating personnel, asset and customer bases of its theatrical exhibition partners, which include us, AMC and Cinemark. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment: theatre exhibition operations.

        We generate revenues primarily from admissions and concession sales. Additional revenues are generated by our vendor marketing programs, our gift card and discount ticket programs and various other activities in our theatres. In addition, National CineMedia provides us with a theatre access fee associated with revenues generated from its sale of on-screen advertising, rental of theatres for meetings and concerts and other events. Film rental costs depend on a variety of factors, including the prospects of a film, the popularity and box office revenues of a film, and such film rental costs generally increase as the admissions revenues generated by a film increase. Because we purchase certain concession items, such as fountain drinks and popcorn, in bulk and not pre-packaged for individual servings, we are able to improve our margins by negotiating volume discounts. Other operating expenses consist primarily of theatre labor and occupancy costs.

        The Company's revenues are usually seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, motion picture studios release the most marketable motion pictures during the summer and holiday seasons. The unexpected emergence or continuance of a "hit" film during other periods can alter the traditional pattern. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on the Company's results of operations, and the results of one fiscal quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for the next or any other fiscal quarter. The seasonality of motion picture exhibition, however, has become less pronounced as motion picture studios are releasing motion pictures somewhat more evenly throughout the year. The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

        For a summary of other industry trends as well as other risks and uncertainties relevant to the Company, see "Business—Industry Overview and Trends" and "Risk Factors."

Critical Accounting Estimates

        Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We routinely make estimates and judgments about the carrying value of our assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate and modify on an ongoing basis such estimates and assumptions, which include those related to film costs, property and equipment, goodwill, income taxes and purchase accounting as well as others discussed in Note 2

26

to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates may form the basis of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results, under conditions and circumstances different from those assumed, may differ materially from estimates. The impact and any associated risks related to estimates, assumptions, and accounting policies are discussed within "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", as well as in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, if applicable, where such estimates, assumptions, and accounting policies affect our reported and expected results. Management has discussed the development and selection of its critical accounting estimates with the audit committee of our board of directors and the audit committee has reviewed our related disclosures herein.

        We believe the following accounting policies are critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations and affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

•

We have applied the principles of purchase accounting when recording theatre acquisitions. Under current purchase accounting principles, we are required to use the acquisition method of accounting to estimate the fair value of all assets and liabilities, including: (i) the acquired tangible and intangible assets, including property and equipment, (ii) the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (including contingencies), and (iii) the related deferred tax assets and liabilities. Because the estimates we make in purchase accounting can materially impact our future results of operations, for significant acquisitions, we have obtained assistance from third party valuation specialists in order to assist in our determination of fair value. The Company provides the assumptions to the third party valuation firms based on information available to us at the acquisition date, including both quantitative and qualitative information about the specified assets or liabilities. The Company primarily utilizes the third parties to accumulate comparative data from multiple sources and assemble a report that summarizes the information obtained. The Company then uses the information to determine fair value. The third party valuation firms are supervised by Company personnel who are knowledgeable about valuations and fair value. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of the valuation methodology utilized by the third party valuation firm. The estimation of the fair value of the assets and liabilities involves a number of judgments and estimates that could differ materially from the actual amounts. Historically, the estimates made have not experienced significant changes and, as a result, we have not disclosed such changes.

•

FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Goodwill specifies that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will be subject to an annual impairment assessment. Based on our annual impairment assessment conducted during fiscal 2010, fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, we were not required to record a charge for goodwill impairment. In assessing the recoverability of the goodwill, we must make various assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in future periods.

•

We estimate our film cost expense and related film cost payable based on management's best estimate of the expected box office revenue of each film over the length of its run in our theatres and the ultimate settlement of such film costs with the distributors. Generally, less than one-third of our quarterly film expense is estimated at period-end. The length of time until these costs are known with certainty depends on the ultimate duration of the film play, but is typically "settled" within two to three months of a particular film's opening release. Upon settlement with our film distributors, film cost expense and the related film cost payable are adjusted to the final film settlement. The ultimate revenues of a film can be estimated reasonably accurately within a

27

few weeks after the film is released based on the film's initial box office performance, which is determined by a film's initial box office receipts. As a result, there are typically insignificant variances between our estimates of film cost expense and the final film cost payable, because we make such estimates based on each film's box office receipts through the end of the reporting period. For the fiscal years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, there were no significant changes in our film cost estimation and settlement procedures.

•

We depreciate and amortize the components of our property and equipment relating to both owned and leased theatres on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Each owned theatre consists of a building structure, structural improvements, seating and concession and film display equipment. While we have assigned an estimated useful life of less than 30 years to certain acquired facilities, we estimate that our newly constructed buildings generally have an average economic useful life of 30 years. Certain of our buildings have been in existence for more than 40 years. With respect to equipment (e.g., concession stand, point-of-sale equipment, etc.), a substantial portion is depreciated over seven years or less, which has been our historical replacement period. Seats and digital projection equipment generally have a longer useful economic life, and their depreciable lives (12-17.5 years) are based on our experience and replacement practices. The estimates of the assets' useful lives require our judgment and our knowledge of the assets being depreciated and amortized. Further, we review the economic useful lives of such assets annually and make adjustments thereto as necessary. To the extent we determine that certain of our assets have become obsolescent, we accelerate depreciation over the remaining useful lives of the assets. For example, currently the Company is focusing on an accelerated deployment of 3D compatible digital projection systems to a majority of its first run U.S. theatres. With respect to the Company's existing 35mm film projection equipment that is scheduled to be replaced with digital projection systems, the Company has begun to accelerate depreciation on such 35 mm film projection equipment over the expected deployment schedule since the Company plans to dispose of such equipment prior to the end of their useful lives. To that end, during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2010, the Company recorded approximately $18.9 million of accelerated depreciation related to such 35mm film projection equipment, as described further in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Actual economic lives may differ materially from these estimates.

The majority of our properties have been appraised. Such appraisals supported the estimated lives being used for depreciation and amortization purposes. Furthermore, our analysis of our historical capital replacement program is consistent with our depreciation policies. Finally, we review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Such analysis generally evaluates assets for impairment on an individual theatre basis. When the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the operations to which the assets relate do not exceed the carrying value of the assets, such assets are written down to fair value. Our experience indicates that theatre properties become impaired primarily due to market or competitive factors rather than physical (wear and tear) or functional (inadequacy or obsolescence) factors. In this regard, we do not believe the frequency or volume of facilities impaired due to these market factors are significant enough to impact the useful lives used for depreciation periods.

For the fiscal years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, no significant changes have been made to the depreciation and amortization rates applied to operating assets, the underlying assumptions related to estimates of depreciation and amortization, or the methodology applied. For the fiscal year ended December 30, 2010, consolidated depreciation and amortization expense was $213.4 million, representing 7.6% of consolidated total revenues. If the estimated lives of all assets being depreciated were increased

28

by one year, the consolidated depreciation and amortization expense would have decreased by approximately $14.3 million, or 6.7%. If the estimated lives of all assets being depreciated were decreased by one year, the consolidated depreciation and amortization expense would have increased by approximately $16.6 million, or 7.8%.

•

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We record a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that our deferred income tax assets will not be realized. We reassess the need for such valuation allowance on an ongoing basis. An increase in the valuation allowance generally results in an increase in the provision for income taxes recorded in such period. A decrease in the valuation allowance generally results in a decrease to the provision for income taxes recorded in such period.

Additionally, income tax rules and regulations are subject to interpretation, require judgment by us and may be challenged by the taxing authorities. As described further in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, effective December 29, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes—Overview. Although we believe that our tax return positions are fully supportable, in accordance with ASC Subtopic 740-10, we recognize a tax benefit only for tax positions that we determine will more likely than not be sustained based on the technical merits of the tax position. With respect to such tax positions for which recognition of a benefit is appropriate, the benefit is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions are evaluated on an ongoing basis as part of our process for determining our provision for income taxes. Among other items deemed relevant by us, the evaluations are based on new legislation, other new technical guidance, judicial proceedings, and our specific circumstances, including the progress of tax audits. Any change in the determination of the amount of tax benefit recognized relative to an uncertain tax position impacts the provision for income taxes in the period that such determination is made.

For fiscal 2010, our provision for income taxes was $48.7 million. Changes in management's estimates and assumptions regarding the probability that certain tax return positions will be sustained, the enacted tax rate applied to deferred tax assets and liabilities, the ability to realize the value of deferred tax assets, or the timing of the reversal of tax basis differences could impact the provision for income taxes and change the effective tax rate. A one percentage point change in the effective tax rate from 38.7% to 39.7% would have increased the current year income tax provision by approximately $1.3 million.

Significant Events and Fiscal 2011 Outlook

        During the fiscal years ended December 30, 2010 ("Fiscal 2010 Period"), December 31, 2009 ("Fiscal 2009 Period") and January 1, 2009 ("Fiscal 2008 Period"), the Company entered into various financing transactions which are more fully described under "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Activities" below and in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

        On March 10, 2010, DCIP executed definitive agreements and related financing transactions in connection with the conversion to digital projection. DCIP's financing raised $660.0 million, consisting

29

of $445.0 million in senior bank debt, $135.0 million in additional junior capital and approximately $80.0 million in equity contributions (consisting of cash and existing digital projection systems) from us, AMC and Cinemark. As discussed further under "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Investing Activities" below and in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, concurrent with closing, the Company entered into the Digital Cinema Agreements with Kasima, LLC, and made the DCIP Contributions. After giving effect to the DCIP Contributions, the Company holds a 46.7% economic interest in DCIP as of December 30, 2010, while continuing to maintain a one-third voting interest along with each of AMC and Cinemark.

        As discussed further under "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Investing Activities" below and in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, during the Fiscal 2010 Period, the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period, the Company received an additional 4.5 million newly issued common units of National CineMedia. In addition, during the Fiscal 2010 Period, we redeemed approximately 4.3 million of our National CineMedia common units for a like number of shares of NCM, Inc. common stock, which we sold in an underwritten public offering for $16.00 per share, reducing our investment in National CineMedia by $14.0 million, the average carrying amount of the shares sold. We received approximately $66.0 million in proceeds after deducting related fees and expenses payable by us, resulting in an aggregate gain on sale of $52.0 million. These transactions, together with National CineMedia's issuance of 6.5 million common units to AMC in the second quarter of 2010 as a result of an acquisition, had the effect of decreasing the Company's ownership share in National CineMedia. As a result, on a fully diluted basis, we own a 19.4% interest in NCM, Inc. as of December 30, 2010.

        On May 24, 2010 and June 24, 2010, the Company acquired eight theatres with 106 screens located in Illinois, Indiana and Colorado from an affiliate of AMC. Regal purchased five of these AMC theatres representing 63 screens for approximately $55.0 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and acquired the other three AMC theatres representing 43 screens in exchange for two Regal theatres consisting of 26 screens. The results of operations of the eight acquired theatres have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the respective acquisition dates. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Investing Activities" below and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of this acquisition.

        During the Fiscal 2010 Period, we continued to make progress with respect to the following strategic initiatives:

•

We demonstrated our commitment to providing incremental value to our stockholders. Total cash dividends distributed to our stockholders during the Fiscal 2010 Period totaled approximately $327.1 million, including an extraordinary cash dividend of $1.40 per share on each outstanding share of its Class A and Class B common stock.

•

In addition to the eight theatres representing 106 screens acquired from an affiliate of AMC, we opened two new theatres with 24 screens and closed 19 theatres with 200 screens (including the two theatres exchanged with AMC), ending the Fiscal 2010 Period with 539 theatres and 6,698 screens.

•

We continued to embrace new technologies to deliver a premium movie-going experience for our customers on three complementary fronts:

During the Fiscal 2010 Period, the Company focused on an accelerated deployment of 3D compatible digital projection systems to a majority of its first run U.S. theatres and expects to continue the accelerated 3D deployment into the first half of 2011. As of December 30, 2010, we operated 2,202 screens outfitted with digital projection systems, 1,710 of which are digital 3D

30

capable. We expect all of our screens to be outfitted with digital projection systems by late 2012 or early 2013, with approximately 40% of our total screens being digital 3D capable by mid-2011.

Second, we renegotiated our agreement with IMAX® during the Fiscal 2010 Period to expand our IMAX® footprint by agreeing to install a total of up to 77 IMAX® digital projection systems by the end of 2012. As of December 30, 2010, we operated a total of 50 IMAX® screens. We believe that expanding our IMAX® footprint, combined with a more favorable allocation of costs included in the new agreement, will continue to have a positive impact on our operating results.

Finally, as of December 30, 2010, we had converted seven of our auditoriums to our proprietary large screen format known as RPX^SM. We have been encouraged by the initial results of RPX^SM and expect to expand our RPX^SM footprint by converting up to 12 additional auditoriums throughout 2011.

We believe the installation of 3D digital projection systems and IMAX® theatres systems and the conversion of existing auditoriums to RPX^SM auditoriums allow us to offer our patrons premium 3D movie and large all-digital format experiences that we believe generate incremental revenue and cash flows for the Company. We remain optimistic regarding the benefits of digital cinema primarily as it relates to future growth potential associated with 3D film product and other 3D content and are pleased to see continued support of 3D and IMAX® film product by the major motion picture studios.

        We are optimistic regarding the breadth of the 2011 film slate, including the timing of the release schedule and the number of films scheduled for release in premium-priced formats. Evidenced by the motion picture studios' continued efforts to promote and market upcoming film releases, 2011 appears to be another year of high-profile releases such as Rango, Thor, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, The Hangover Part II, Kung Fu Panda 2, Cars 2, X-Men: First Class, Super 8, Green Lantern, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Captain America: The First Avenger, Cowboys & Aliens, Happy Feet 2, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part One, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked and Sherlock Holmes 2.

        We intend to grow our theatre circuit through selective expansion and through accretive acquisitions. With respect to capital expenditures, subject to the timing of certain construction projects, we expect capital expenditures (net of proceeds from asset sales) to be in the range of $85.0 million to $100.0 million for fiscal 2011, consisting of new theatre development, expansion of existing theatre facilities, upgrades and replacements.

        Overall for the fiscal 2011 year, we expect to benefit from modest increases in ticket prices and average concessions per patron and a continued increase in 3D screens and the number of films scheduled for release in premium-priced formats. In addition, we expect fiscal 2011 admissions and concessions revenues to be supported by our continued focus on efficient theatre operations and through opportunities to expand our concession offerings. We will continue to maintain a business strategy focused on the evaluation of accretive acquisition opportunities, selective upgrades and premium experience opportunities and providing incremental returns to our stockholders. For an understanding of the significant factors that influenced our performance during the past three fiscal years, the preceding and following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto presented in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Recent Developments

        As discussed further in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, on January 4, 2011, Regal issued and sold $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 9¹/8% Senior Notes at a price equal to 104.5% of their face value. The notes were issued under an existing Indenture entered into by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), dated August 16, 2010, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated January 7, 2011. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions by the Company, were approximately $154.7 million. The Company used substantially all of the net proceeds from the offering ($152.5 million) to repay a portion of the Amended Senior Credit Facility.

        On February 9, 2011, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share on each share of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock. This dividend reflects a $0.03 per share increase from the Company's last quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share declared on October 28, 2010. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2011 to stockholders of record on March 3, 2011.

        On February 10, 2011, the issued and sold $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 9¹/8% Senior Notes due 2018 at a price equal to 104.5% of their face value. The notes were issued on February 15, 2011 under an existing Indenture entered into by and between the Company and the Trustee, dated August 16, 2010, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated January 7, 2011 and the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated February 15, 2011. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions by the Company, were approximately $103.1 million. The Company used a portion the net proceeds from the offering ($82.1 million) to repay a portion of the Amended Senior Credit Facility. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of this transaction.

        As described further under "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Activities" below and in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, on May 19, 2010, Regal Cinemas entered into a sixth amended and restated credit agreement (the "Amended Senior Credit Facility"), with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Administrative Agent ("Credit Suisse") and the lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), which consists of a term loan facility (the "Term Facility") with a final maturity date in November 2016.

        On February 23, 2011 Regal Cinemas entered into a permitted secured refinancing agreement (the "Refinancing Agreement") with REH, Regal, the Guarantors, Credit Suisse, and the Lenders, which amends and refinances the Term Facility under the Amended Senior Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Refinancing Agreement, Regal Cinemas consummated a permitted secured refinancing of the Term Facility in the amount of $1,006.0 million, and in accordance therewith, the Lenders advanced term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,006.0 million with a final maturity date in August 2017 (the "New Term Loans"). Together with other amounts provided by Regal Cinemas, proceeds of the New Term Loans were applied to repay all of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Facility under the Amended Senior Credit Facility in effect immediately prior to the making of the New Term Loans.

32

        In addition to extending the maturity date of the New Term Loans, the Refinancing Agreement also amends the Amended Senior Credit Facility by reducing the interest rate on the New Term Loans, by providing, at Regal Cinemas' option, either a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin that is determined according to the consolidated leverage ratio of Regal Cinemas and its subsidiaries. Such applicable margin will be either 2.00% or 2.25% in the case of base rate loans and either 3.00% or 3.25% in the case of LIBOR rate loans. The Refinancing Agreement also amends the Second Amended and Restated Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated May 19, 2010, to exclude Margin Stock from the grant of the security interest in the Collateral used to secure the obligations under the Amended Senior Credit Facility.

Results of Operations

        Based on our review of industry sources, national box office revenues for the time period that corresponds to Regal's fiscal year of 2010 were estimated to have decreased by less than one percent in comparison to the fiscal year of 2009. The industry's box office results were negatively impacted by difficult comparisons generated by the breadth of films released during the fiscal year of 2009, partially offset by ticket price increases and an increase in the percentage of attendance generated by premium-priced 3D and IMAX® films, including the strong performance of Avatar, Toy Story 3, Alice in Wonderland, Iron Man 2, and Inception.

        The following table sets forth the percentage of total revenues represented by certain items included in our consolidated statements of income for the Fiscal 2010 Period, the Fiscal 2009 Period

Fiscal 2010 Period Compared to Fiscal 2009 Period

Admissions

        During the Fiscal 2010 Period, total admissions revenues decreased $35.3 million, or 1.8%, to $1,956.3 million, from $1,991.6 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period. An 8.3% decline in attendance, partially offset by a 7.0% increase in average ticket prices, led to the decrease in the Fiscal 2010 Period admissions revenues. We believe that our attendance is primarily dependent upon the commercial appeal of content released by the major motion picture studios. The Fiscal 2010 Period decline in attendance was primarily attributable to the overall lack of appeal to our patrons of the films exhibited in our theatres during the Fiscal 2010 Period as compared to the films exhibited during the Fiscal 2009 Period. An increase in the percentage of our admissions revenues generated by premium-priced 3D and IMAX® films exhibited during the Fiscal 2010 Period along with price increases identified during our ongoing periodic pricing reviews (which include analysis of various factors such as general inflationary trends and local market conditions) were the primary drivers of the increase in our Fiscal 2010 Period average ticket prices. Based on our review of certain industry sources, the decrease in our admissions revenues on a per screen basis was slightly greater than the industry's results for the Fiscal 2010 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2009 Period. We believe the greater than industry decrease in admissions revenues on a per screen basis in the Fiscal 2010 Period was attributable to geographical differences in film product performance.

Concessions

        Total concessions revenues decreased $51.3 million, or 6.6%, to $724.3 million in the Fiscal 2010 Period, from $775.6 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period. Average concessions revenues per patron during the Fiscal 2010 Period increased 1.9%, to $3.23, from $3.17 for the Fiscal 2009 Period. The increase in average concessions revenues per patron for the Fiscal 2010 Period was primarily a result of selective price increases.

Other Operating Revenues

        During the Fiscal 2010 Period, other operating revenues increased $0.6 million, or 0.5%, to $127.3 million, from $126.7 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period. Included in other operating revenues are the theatre access fees paid by National CineMedia (net of payments for onscreen advertising time provided to our beverage concessionaire), revenues from our vendor marketing programs and other theatre revenues, including revenue related to our gift card and discount ticket programs. The slight increase in other operating revenues during the Fiscal 2010 Period was primarily driven by increases in revenues related to our gift card and discount ticket programs and other theatre revenues, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from our vendor marketing programs.

Film Rental and Advertising Costs

        Film rental and advertising costs as a percentage of admissions revenues of 52.5% during the Fiscal 2010 Period were consistent with that of the Fiscal 2009 Period. Film rental and advertising costs as a percentage of admissions revenues during the Fiscal 2010 Period was primarily impacted by higher film costs associated with the success of Avatar, offset by a reduction in newspaper advertising costs.

Cost of Concessions

        For the Fiscal 2010 Period, cost of concessions as a percentage of concession revenues was approximately 14.0%, compared to 14.3% for the Fiscal 2009 Period. The decrease in cost of concessions as a percentage of concessions revenues during the Fiscal 2010 Period was primarily related to selective price increases effected subsequent to the end of the Fiscal 2009 period, slightly lower raw material costs for certain items and a shift in the mix and sizes of products sold at the concession

35

stand. In addition, we also experienced an increase in the amount of vendor marketing revenue recorded as a reduction of cost of concessions during the Fiscal 2010 Period.

Rent Expense

        Rent expense increased by $3.5 million, or 0.9%, to $382.3 million in the Fiscal 2010 Period, from $378.8 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period. The increase in rent expense during the Fiscal 2010 Period was primarily attributable to incremental rent associated with the 106 screens acquired from an affiliate of AMC, partially offset by a reduction in rent associated with the closure of 200 screens subsequent to the end of the Fiscal 2009 Period.

Other Operating Expenses

        During the Fiscal 2010 Period, other operating expenses increased $5.5 million, or 0.7%, to $784.0 million, from $778.5 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period. The increase in other operating expenses during the Fiscal 2010 Period was attributable to increased costs associated with higher 3D and IMAX® film revenues and incremental DCIP related expenses, partially offset by savings in theatre-level payroll and non-rent occupancy costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

        General and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million, or 3.9%, to $66.7 million during the Fiscal 2010 Period, from $64.2 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 2.4% during the Fiscal 2010 Period, from 2.2% in the Fiscal 2009 Period. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the Fiscal 2010 Period was primarily attributable to increases in stock-based compensation expense and corporate payroll costs during the period.

Depreciation and Amortization

        During the Fiscal 2010 Period, depreciation and amortization expense increased $11.5 million, or 5.7%, to $213.4 million, from $201.9 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense during the Fiscal 2010 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily due to accelerated depreciation of $18.9 million related to the replacement of 35mm film projectors in connection with our conversion to digital projection systems, partially offset by slightly lower capital expenditures during the Fiscal 2010 Period.

Income from Operations

        Income from operations decreased $63.6 million, or 22.8%, to $215.8 million during the Fiscal 2010 Period, from $279.4 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period. The net decrease in income from operations during the Fiscal 2010 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily attributable to the overall decrease in total revenues and the fixed cost nature of certain operating expense line items including rent expense and other operating expenses, partially offset by a lower loss on disposal and impairment of operating assets ($17.9 million and $34.0 million, respectively, for the Fiscal 2010 Period and Fiscal 2009 Period).

Interest Expense, net

        During the Fiscal 2010 Period, net interest expense declined $2.9 million, or 1.9%, to $148.1 million, from $151.0 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period. The decrease in net interest expense during the Fiscal 2010 Period was principally due to a lower average effective interest rate on our Term Facility as a result of a change in our interest rate swap portfolio during the Fiscal 2009 Period, a reduction in interest expense resulting from the repurchases of our 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes and

36

incremental interest income during the Fiscal 2010 Period, partially offset by incremental interest expense associated with the issuance of the $400.0 million Regal Cinemas 8⁵/8% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "8⁵/8% Senior Notes") in July 2009 and the issuance of the 9¹/8% Senior Notes in August 2010.

Earnings Recognized from NCM

        The Company received $43.0 million and $39.6 million, respectively, in cash distributions from National CineMedia (including payments received under the tax receivable agreement described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) during the Fiscal 2010 Period and Fiscal 2009 Period. Approximately $7.4 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of these cash distributions received during the Fiscal 2010 Period and the Fiscal 2009 Period were recognized as a reduction in our investment in National CineMedia. The remaining amounts were recognized in equity earnings during each of these periods and have been included as a component of "Earnings recognized from NCM" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The increase in earnings recognized from National CineMedia during the Fiscal 2010 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily attributable to slightly higher earnings of National CineMedia and the timing of their contractual cash distributions to the Company.

Income Taxes

        The provision for income taxes of $48.7 million and $61.9 million for the Fiscal 2010 Period and the Fiscal 2009 Period, respectively, reflect effective tax rates of approximately 38.7% and 39.4%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the Fiscal 2010 Period is primarily attributable to a decrease in the effective tax rates in certain states and the lapse of statute of limitations on uncertain tax positions with state taxing authorities during the Fiscal 2010 Period. The effective tax rates for such periods also reflect the impact of certain non-deductible expenses and income tax credits.

Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interest

        Net income attributable to controlling interest for the Fiscal 2010 Period was $77.6 million, which represents a decrease of $17.9 million, from net income attributable to controlling interest of $95.5 million during the Fiscal 2009 Period. The decrease in net income attributable to controlling interest for the Fiscal 2010 Period was primarily attributable to a reduction in operating income, the Fiscal 2010 Period loss on debt extinguishment associated with the Amended Senior Credit Facility and certain repurchases of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes, incremental losses from the Company's equity investment in DCIP, partially offset by the impact of the $52.0 million ($31.4 million after related tax effects) gain on sale of NCM, Inc. common stock.

Fiscal 2009 Period Compared to Fiscal 2008 Period

Admissions

        Total admissions revenues increased $108.5 million during the Fiscal 2009 Period, or 5.8%, to $1,991.6 million, from $1,883.1 million in the Fiscal 2008 Period primarily due to a 6.1% increase in average ticket prices, partially offset by a 0.3% decrease in attendance. We believe the overall decrease in attendance during the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily a result of the timing of the Fiscal 2008 Period calendar, which consisted of fifty-three weeks compared to fifty-two weeks during the Fiscal 2009 Period. The overall decrease in Fiscal 2009 Period attendance was mitigated by the full benefit (twelve months in the Fiscal 2009 Period as compared to eight months in the Fiscal 2008 Period) of the inclusion of 400 screens acquired from Consolidated Theatres during the Fiscal 2008 Period. Price increases identified during our ongoing periodic pricing reviews (which include analysis of various factors such as general inflationary trends and local market conditions) along with an increase in the percentage of our admissions revenues generated by premium priced IMAX® and 3D films exhibited

37

during the Fiscal 2009 Period were the primary drivers of the increase in our Fiscal 2009 Period average ticket prices. Based on our review of certain industry sources, the increase in our admissions revenues on a per screen basis was approximately 200 basis points less than the industry's results for the Fiscal 2009 Period as compared to Fiscal 2008 Period. We believe our less than industry increase in admissions revenues on a per screen basis was largely attributable to geographical differences in film product performance and to a lesser extent, the impact of incremental competitor screens.

Concessions

        During the Fiscal 2009 Period, total concessions revenues increased $17.6 million, or 2.3%, to $775.6 million, from $758.0 million for the Fiscal 2008 Period. Average concessions revenues per patron during the Fiscal 2009 Period increased 2.6%, to $3.17, from $3.09 for the Fiscal 2008 Period. The increase in total concessions revenues during the Fiscal 2009 Period was attributable to an increase in average concessions revenues per patron, partially offset by a slight decrease in attendance during the period. The increase in average concessions revenues per patron for the Fiscal 2009 Period were primarily a result of price increases and also benefitted from the concession friendly mix of film product exhibited during such periods.

Other Operating Revenue

        Other operating revenue decreased $4.1 million, or 3.1%, to $126.7 million for the Fiscal 2009 Period, from $130.8 million for the Fiscal 2008 Period. Included in other operating revenue are the theatre access fees paid by National CineMedia (net of payments for onscreen advertising time provided to our beverage concessionaire), marketing revenues from our vendor marketing programs and other theatre revenues, including revenue related to our gift card and discount ticket programs. The decrease in other operating revenue during the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily driven by decreases in revenues related to our gift card and discount ticket programs and other theatre revenues, partially offset by a slight increase in marketing revenues from our vendor marketing programs.

Film Rental and Advertising Costs

        Film rental and advertising costs as a percentage of admissions revenues declined slightly to 52.5% during the Fiscal 2009 Period from 52.6% in the Fiscal 2008 Period. The decrease in film rental and advertising costs as a percentage of box office revenues during the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily the result of a reduction in newspaper advertising costs during such period.

Cost of Concessions

        During the Fiscal 2009 Period, cost of concessions increased $4.0 million, or 3.8% as compared to the Fiscal 2008 Period. Cost of concessions as a percentage of concessions revenues for the Fiscal 2009 Period was approximately 14.3% compared to 14.1% for the Fiscal 2008 Period. The increase in cost of concessions as a percentage of concessions revenues during the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily related to a greater percentage of our concession sales being generated from higher cost items and a decrease in the amount of vendor marketing revenue recorded as a reduction of cost of concessions.

Rent Expense

        Rent expense increased by $15.5 million, or 4.3%, to $378.8 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period, from $363.3 million in the Fiscal 2008 Period. The increase in rent expense during the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily due to the full impact of Consolidated Theatres during the Fiscal 2009 Period and to a lesser extent, incremental rent from 78 new screens added during the Fiscal 2009 Period and modest increases in contingent rent, partially offset by a reduction in rent associated with the closure of 111 screens during the Fiscal 2009 Period.

38

Other Operating Expenses

        Other operating expenses increased $38.6 million, or 5.2%, to $778.5 million in the Fiscal 2009 Period, from $739.9 million in the Fiscal 2008 Period. The increase in other operating expenses during the Fiscal 2009 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2008 Period was attributable to the full impact of Consolidated Theatres during the Fiscal 2009 Period, increased costs associated with higher IMAX® and 3D film revenues, increased gift card transaction fees and general inflationary increases.

General and Administrative Expenses

        For the Fiscal 2009 Period, general and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 3.4%, to $64.2 million as compared to $62.1 million in the Fiscal 2008 Period. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses remained consistent, at 2.2%, during the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period. The slight increase in general and administrative expenses during the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily attributable to increases in corporate payroll costs and legal and professional fees during such period.

Depreciation and Amortization

        Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.4 million, or 0.2%, to $201.9 million for the Fiscal 2009 Period, from $202.3 million in the Fiscal 2008 Period. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense during the Fiscal 2009 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2008 Period was primarily due to lower capital expenditures during the Fiscal 2009 Period and a slightly greater number of fully depreciated fixed assets during the Fiscal 2009 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2008 Period.

Income from Operations

        During the Fiscal 2009 Period, income from operations decreased $5.0 million, or 1.8%, to $279.4 million, from $284.4 million in the Fiscal 2008 Period. The overall decrease in income from operations during the Fiscal 2009 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2008 Period was driven by increases in various operating expense line items, including cost of concessions, rent expense, other operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and net loss on disposal and impairment of operating assets ($34.0 million and $22.4 million, respectively, for the Fiscal 2009 Period and Fiscal 2008 Period).

Interest Expense, net

        Net interest expense totaled $151.0 million for the Fiscal 2009 Period, which represents an increase of $22.6 million, or 17.6%, from that of the Fiscal 2008 Period. The increase in net interest expense during the Fiscal 2009 Period was principally due to a higher effective interest rate on our term facility under the Amended Senior Credit Facility (the "Term Facility") as a result of a change in our interest rate swap portfolio during the Fiscal 2009 Period, incremental interest expense related to the Fiscal 2009 Period issuance of the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes, the impact of a full year of interest expense on the $200.0 million 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes and less interest income ($1.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period) during such period.

39

Earnings Recognized from NCM

        The Company recorded $39.6 million and $33.1 million, respectively, in cash distributions from National CineMedia during the Fiscal 2009 Period and Fiscal 2008 Period. Approximately $6.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of these cash distributions received during the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period were recognized as a reduction in our investment in National CineMedia. In addition, during the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period, the Company recorded an additional $5.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of equity earnings with respect to newly issued common units received from National CineMedia during such periods. As a result, during the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period, the Company recognized $38.6 million and $32.9 million, respectively, of earnings from National CineMedia. Such amounts are presented as "Earnings recognized from NCM" in the consolidated financial statements. The increase in earnings recognized from National CineMedia during the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily attributable to incremental earnings of National CineMedia and a corresponding increase in their contractually committed cash distributions to the Company.

Income Taxes

        The provision for income taxes of $61.9 million and $74.4 million for the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period, respectively, reflect effective tax rates of approximately 39.4% and 39.9%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily attributable to the lapse of statute of limitations on uncertain tax positions with state taxing authorities during the Fiscal 2009 Period. The effective tax rates for the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period also reflect the impact of certain non-deductible expenses.

Net Income Attributable to Controlling Interest

        During the Fiscal 2009 Period, net income attributable to controlling interest totaled $95.5 million, which represents a decrease of $16.7 million, from net income attributable to controlling interest of $112.2 million in the Fiscal 2008 Period. The decrease in net income attributable to controlling interest for the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating income coupled with incremental interest expense and loss on debt extinguishment, partially offset by incremental earnings recognized from National CineMedia described above.

Quarterly Results

        The Company's consolidated financial statements for the Fiscal 2010 Period include the results of operations of the eight theatres acquired from an affiliate of AMC during May and June 2010 for periods subsequent to the respective date of acquisition. The acquisition of such theatres is further described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. The comparability of our results between quarters is impacted by the inclusion from such date of the results of operations of the acquisitions and to a lesser extent, seasonality.

        The following tables set forth selected unaudited quarterly results for the eight quarters ended December 30, 2010. The quarterly financial data as of each period presented below have been derived from Regal's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for those periods. Results for these periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The quarterly financial data should be

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        On a consolidated basis, we expect our primary uses of cash to be for operating expenses, capital expenditures, investments, general corporate purposes related to corporate operations, debt service and the Company's quarterly dividend payments. The principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, cash on hand and borrowings under the Amended Senior Credit Facility described below. Under the terms of the Amended Senior Credit Facility and the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes issued during fiscal 2009, Regal Cinemas is restricted as to how much it can advance or distribute to Regal, its indirect parent. Since Regal is a holding company with no significant assets other than the stock of its subsidiaries, this restriction could impact Regal's ability to effect future debt or dividend payments, pay corporate expenses or redeem or convert for cash its 9¹/8% Senior Notes and 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes. In addition, as described further below, the Indenture under the 9¹/8% Senior Notes limits the Company's (and its restricted subsidiaries') ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock, purchase or redeem capital stock, make loans or advances to its subsidiaries (or the Company), or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire certain subordinated obligations.

Operating Activities

        Our revenues are generated principally through admissions and concessions sales with proceeds received in cash or via credit cards at the point of sale. Our operating expenses are primarily related to film and advertising costs, rent and occupancy, and payroll. Film costs are ordinarily paid to distributors within 30 days following receipt of admissions revenues and the cost of the Company's concessions are generally paid to vendors approximately 30 to 35 days from purchase. Our current liabilities generally include items that will become due within 12 months. In addition, from time to time, we use cash from operations and borrowings to fund dividends in excess of net income attributable to controlling interest and cash flows from operating activities less cash flows from investing and other financing activities. As a result, at any given time, our balance sheet may reflect a working capital deficit.

        Net cash flows provided by operating activities totaled approximately $259.4 million, $410.8 million and $270.9 million for the Fiscal 2010 Period, the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period, respectively. The decrease in net cash flows generated from operating activities for the Fiscal 2010 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily attributable to a reduction in operating income, coupled with the timing of certain Fiscal 2010 Period vendor and income tax payments. The increase in net cash flows generated from operating activities for the Fiscal 2009 Period as compared to

41

the Fiscal 2008 Period was primarily attributable to an increase in working capital, primarily the timing of certain Fiscal 2009 Period vendor payments.

Investing Activities

        Our capital requirements have historically arisen principally in connection with acquisitions of theatres, new theatre construction, adding new screens to existing theatres, upgrading the Company's theatre facilities (including digital 3D and IMAX® screens) and replacing equipment. We fund the cost of capital expenditures through internally generated cash flows, cash on hand, proceeds from disposition of assets and financing activities.

        We intend to continue to grow our theatre circuit through selective expansion and acquisition opportunities. The Company has a formal and intensive review procedure for the authorization of capital projects, with the most important financial measure of acceptability for a discretionary non-maintenance capital project being whether its projected discounted cash flow return on investment meets or exceeds the Company's internal rate of return targets. The credit crisis of late 2008 and early 2009 negatively impacted real estate development and has caused a temporary slowdown in our building program. As a result, we currently expect capital expenditures (net of proceeds from asset sales) for theatre development, replacement, expansion, upgrading and replacements to be below our historical levels and in the range of approximately $85.0 million to $100.0 million in fiscal year 2011, exclusive of acquisitions. Such capital expenditures are expected to be partially funded through asset dispositions conducted during the normal course of our business.

        On March 10, 2010, DCIP executed definitive agreements and related financing transactions in connection with the conversion to digital projection. DCIP's financing raised $660.0 million, consisting of $445.0 million in senior bank debt, $135.0 million in additional junior capital and approximately $80.0 million in equity contributions (consisting of cash and existing digital projection systems) from us, AMC and Cinemark. Concurrent with closing, the Company entered into the Digital Cinema Agreements with Kasima, LLC, and made the DCIP Contributions. The Company recorded such DCIP Contributions as an increase in its investment in DCIP, which included the fair value of the 200 existing digital projection systems, as determined by an independent appraisal. In connection with the contribution of its 200 existing digital projection systems, the Company recorded a loss on the contribution of $2.0 million based on the excess of the carrying value of the digital projection systems contributed over the $12.6 million fair value (as determined by an independent appraisal) of such equipment. In addition, during May 2010, Regal sold an additional 337 digital projection systems to DCIP for aggregate proceeds of approximately $20.0 million. In connection with this sale, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of approximately $2.8 million. Such losses have been presented as a component of "Net (gain) loss on disposal and impairment of operating assets" in the consolidated statement of income for the Fiscal 2010 Period. After giving effect to the DCIP Contributions, the Company holds a 46.7% economic interest in DCIP as of December 30, 2010, while continuing to maintain a one-third voting interest along with each of AMC and Cinemark. Since the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of DCIP or any of its subsidiaries, it will continue to account for its investment in DCIP under the equity method of accounting.

        The costs of implementing digital projection in our theatres will be substantially funded by DCIP. We expect DCIP to fund the cost of conversion to digital projection principally through the collection of virtual print fees from motion picture studios and equipment lease payments from participating exhibitors, including us. We will bear operating and maintenance costs with respect to digital projection systems in our theatres, which we expect to be relatively comparable to what we currently spend on our conventional film projectors. In accordance with the Master Lease, the digital projection systems are leased from Kasima, LLC under a twelve-year term with ten one-year fair value renewal options. The Master Lease also contains a fair value purchase option. Under the Master Lease, the Company pays annual minimum rent of $1,000 per digital projection system for the first six and a half years from the

42

effective date of the agreement and is, upon certain conditions, subject to minimum annual rent of $3,000 per digital projection system beginning at six and a half years from the effective date of the agreement through the end of the lease term. The Company is also subject to various types of other rent if such digital projection systems do not meet minimum performance requirements as outlined in the Master Lease. Certain of the other rent payments are subject to either a monthly or an annual maximum. The Company accounts for the Master Lease as an operating lease for accounting purposes. The initial financing is expected to cover the cost of conversion to digital projection for approximately 70% of our circuit's screens. We ultimately expect to outfit all of our screens with digital projection systems, with approximately 40% of our total screens being digital 3D capable and intend to complete the conversion of our entire circuit in approximately three to four years. As of December 30, 2010, we operated 2,202 screens outfitted with digital projection systems, 1,710 of which are digital 3D capable.

        During the early stage of deployment, the Company is focusing on an accelerated deployment of 3D compatible digital projection systems to a majority of its first run U.S. theatres. We believe the installation of digital 3D projection systems and IMAX® theatre systems and the conversion of existing auditoriums to RPX(SM) auditoriums will allow us to offer our patrons premium 3D and large format movie experiences, which we believe will generate incremental revenue and cash flows for the Company. We remain optimistic about the benefits of digital cinema primarily as it relates to future growth potential associated with 3D film product and other 3D content and are pleased to see continued support of 3D and IMAX® film product by the major motion picture studios.

        As described more fully in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, on April 9, 2008, March 17, 2009 and March 17, 2010 we received from National CineMedia approximately 0.8 million, 0.5 million and 0.3 million, respectively, newly issued common units of National CineMedia in accordance with the annual adjustment provisions of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. In addition, on May 29, 2008, we received from National CineMedia approximately 2.9 million newly issued common units of National CineMedia in accordance with the adjustment provisions of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement in connection with our acquisition of Consolidated Theatres. On August 18, 2010, we redeemed 4.2 million of our National CineMedia common units for a like number of shares of NCM, Inc. common stock, which we sold in an underwritten public offering for $16.00 per share, reducing our investment in National CineMedia by $13.7 million, the average carrying amount of the shares sold. We received approximately $64.5 million in proceeds after deducting related fees and expenses payable by us, resulting in a gain on sale of $50.8 million. In addition, on September 8, 2010, we redeemed an additional 0.1 million National CineMedia common units for a like number of shares of NCM, Inc. common stock and sold them to the underwriters to cover over-allotments at $16.00 per share, further reducing our investment in National CineMedia by $0.3 million, the average carrying amount of the shares sold. We received approximately $1.5 million of net proceeds from this sale, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.2 million. These transactions, together with National CineMedia's issuance of 6.5 million common units to AMC in the second quarter of 2010 as a result of an acquisition, had the effect of decreasing the Company's ownership share in National CineMedia. As a result, on a fully diluted basis, we own a 19.4% interest in NCM, Inc. as of December 30, 2010. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of National CineMedia.

        On May 24, 2010 and June 24, 2010, the Company acquired eight theatres with 106 screens located in Illinois, Indiana and Colorado from an affiliate of AMC. Regal purchased five of these AMC theatres representing 63 screens for approximately $55.0 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and acquired the other three AMC theatres representing 43 screens in exchange for two Regal theatres consisting of 26 screens. The results of operations of the eight acquired theatres have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the respective acquisition dates. In addition, during the Fiscal 2008 Period, the Company acquired Consolidated Theatres, which held a total of 28 theatres with 400 screens in Georgia, Maryland, North

43

Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The total net cash purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $209.3 million. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion of these acquisitions.

        Net cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately $82.7 million, $110.5 million and $338.5 million for the Fiscal 2010 Period, the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period, respectively. Contributing to the $27.8 million decrease in cash flows used in investing activities during the Fiscal 2010 Period, as compared to the Fiscal 2009 Period, was the impact of net proceeds totaling approximately $66.0 million resulting from the sale of NCM, Inc. common stock, coupled with lower capital expenditures and higher proceeds from the disposition of assets during the Fiscal 2010 Period, partially offset by the $55.0 million acquisition of eight AMC theatres and approximately $29.9 million of cash contributions to DCIP during the Fiscal 2010 Period. The $228.0 million decrease in cash flows used in investing activities during the Fiscal 2009 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2008 Period was primarily attributable to the impact of the $209.3 million acquisition of Consolidated Theatres during the Fiscal 2008 Period coupled with capital expenditures that were approximately $22.9 million lower during the Fiscal 2009 Period, partially offset by less proceeds from the disposition of assets of approximately $2.8 million during the Fiscal 2009 Period.

Financing Activities

        On May 19, 2010, Regal Cinemas entered into the Amended Senior Credit Facility with Credit Suisse and the Lenders that amends, restates and refinances the fifth amended and restated credit agreement ("the Prior Senior Credit Facility") among Regal Cinemas, Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, and the lenders party thereto. The Amended Senior Credit Facility consists of a Term Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,250.0 million with a final maturity date in November 2016 and a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $85.0 million with a final maturity date in May 2015. The Term Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the Term Facility, with the balance payable on the Term Facility maturity date.

        Net proceeds of the Term Facility (approximately $1,237.5 million) were applied to refinance the term loan under the Prior Senior Credit Facility, which had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $1,262.1 million. Upon the execution of the Amended Senior Credit Facility, Regal recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $18.4 million. No amounts have been drawn on the Revolving Facility. The Amended Senior Credit Facility also permits Regal Cinemas to borrow additional term loans thereunder, subject to lenders providing additional commitments of up to $200.0 million and satisfaction of other conditions, as well as other term loans for acquisitions and certain capital expenditures subject to lenders providing additional commitments and satisfaction of other conditions. The Amended Senior Credit Facility is secured by substantially all assets of Regal Cinemas and certain of its subsidiaries.

        The Amended Senior Credit Facility includes several financial covenants including:

•

maximum ratio of (i) the sum of funded debt (net of unencumbered cash) plus the product of eight (8) times lease expense to (ii) consolidated EBITDAR (as defined in the Amended Senior Credit Facility) of 6.00 to 1.0 throughout the term of the Amended Senior Credit Facility;

•

maximum ratio of funded debt (net of unencumbered cash) to consolidated EBITDA of 4.00 to 1.0 throughout the term of the Amended Senior Credit Facility;

•

minimum ratio of (i) consolidated EBITDAR to (ii) the sum of interest expense plus lease expense of 1.50 to 1.0 throughout the term of the Amended Senior Credit Facility; and

•

maximum capital expenditures not to exceed 35% of consolidated EBITDA for the prior fiscal year plus a one-year carryforward for unused amounts from the prior fiscal year.

44

        The Amended Senior Credit Facility requires that Regal Cinemas and its subsidiaries comply with certain customary covenants, including with respect to incurring indebtedness and liens, making investments and acquisitions, effecting mergers and asset sales, prepaying indebtedness, and paying dividends. Among other things, such limitations will restrict the ability of Regal Cinemas to fund the operations of Regal or any subsidiary of Regal that is not a subsidiary of Regal Cinemas, which guaranties the Amended Senior Credit Facility.

        The Amended Senior Credit Facility includes events of default relating to customary matters, including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; any material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default and cross acceleration with respect to indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million or more; bankruptcy; judgments involving liability of $25.0 million or more that are not paid; ERISA events; actual or asserted invalidity of guarantees or security documents; and change of control. For a detailed summary of other material terms of the Amended Senior Credit Facility, please refer to the information provided under Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

        Please refer to Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a discussion of an amendment to our Amended Senior Credit Facility and other financing transactions effected subsequent to the year ended December 30, 2010.

        On August 10, 2010, Regal entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as the representatives of the underwriters, with respect to the 9¹/8% Senior Notes. On August 16, 2010, the Company issued the 9¹/8% Senior Notes under the Indenture with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting offering expenses paid by the Company, were approximately $269.5 million. The net proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes, the Regal Cinemas 9³/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes") and for general corporate purposes. During the year ended December 30, 2010, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase a portion of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes as described below.

        The 9¹/8% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.125% per year, payable semiannually in arrears in cash on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 9¹/8% Senior Notes mature on August 15, 2018. The 9¹/8% Senior Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations. They rank on parity with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and prior to all of the Company's subordinated indebtedness. The 9¹/8% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Company's future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness and to any indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries. None of the Company's subsidiaries initially guarantee any of the Company's obligations with respect to the 9¹/8% Senior Notes.

        Prior to August 15, 2014, the Company may redeem all or any part of the 9¹/8% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. The Company may redeem the 9¹/8% Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time on or after August 15, 2014 at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture. In addition, prior to August 15, 2013, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 9¹/8% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price specified in the Indenture.

        If the Company undergoes a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 9¹/8% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 9¹/8% Senior Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

45

        The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Company's (and its restricted subsidiaries') ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock, purchase or redeem capital stock, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire certain subordinated obligations; (iii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; (iv) permit, directly or indirectly, it to create, incur, or suffer to exist any lien, except in certain circumstances; (v) create or permit encumbrances or restrictions on its ability to pay dividends or make distributions on its capital stock, make loans or advances to its subsidiaries (or the Company), or transfer any properties or assets to its subsidiaries (or the Company); and (vi) merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are, however, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The Indenture contains other customary terms, including, but not limited to, events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding 9¹/8% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.

        As of December 30, 2010, we are in full compliance with all agreements, including all related covenants, governing our outstanding debt obligations.

        Subsequent to the issuance of the 9¹/8% Senior Notes, during August and September 2010, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase a total of approximately $125.3 million principal amount of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes, in a series of privately negotiated transactions. As a result of the repurchases, the Company recorded a $5.2 million loss on debt extinguishment during the Fiscal 2010 Period. In addition, on November 1, 2010, we redeemed the remaining outstanding $51.5 million principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes at a redemption price of 100.0% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest.

        As of December 30, 2010, we had approximately $1,232.5 million aggregate principal amount outstanding (net of debt discount) under the Term Facility, $275.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 9¹/8% Senior Notes, $391.7 million aggregate principal amount outstanding (net of debt discount) under the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes and $74.4 million aggregate principal amount outstanding (net of debt discount) under the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes. As of December 30, 2010, we had approximately $2.7 million outstanding in letters of credit, leaving approximately $82.3 million available for drawing under the Revolving Facility.

        During the Fiscal 2010 Period, Regal paid four quarterly cash dividends of $0.18 per share on each outstanding share of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately $111.1 million in the aggregate. In addition, on December 30, 2010, Regal paid declared an extraordinary cash dividend of $1.40 per share on each outstanding share of its Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately $216.0 million. On February 9, 2011, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share on each share of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock (including outstanding restricted stock), payable on March 15, 2011, to stockholders of record on March 3, 2011. This dividend reflects a $0.03 per share increase from our last quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share declared on October 28, 2010. These dividends have been or will be funded through cash flow from operations and available cash on hand. We, at the discretion of the board of directors and subject to applicable law, anticipate paying regular quarterly dividends on our Class A and Class B common stock for the foreseeable future. The amount, if any, of the dividends to be paid in the future will depend upon our then available cash, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, loan agreement restrictions, future prospects for earnings and cash flows, as well as other relevant factors.

        Net cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $299.5 million, $142.4 million and $197.4 million for the Fiscal 2010 Period, the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period, respectively. The net increase in cash flows used in financing activities during the Fiscal 2010 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2009 Period of $157.1 million was primarily attributable to a $216.3 million increase in dividends paid to shareholders during the Fiscal 2010 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2009

46

Period, $128.6 million used to repurchase a portion of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes during the Fiscal 2010 Period, $51.5 million used to redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes, incremental payments (including a $12.5 million debt discount) related to the Amended Senior Credit Facility and incremental debt acquisition costs and related to the Amended Senior Credit Facility and the 9¹/8% Senior Notes, partially offset by proceeds of $275.0 million received in connection with the Fiscal 2010 Period issuance of the 9¹/8% Senior Notes. The net decrease in cash flows used in financing activities during the Fiscal 2009 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2008 Period of $55.0 million was primarily attributable to a $73.4 million reduction of dividends paid to shareholders during the Fiscal 2009 Period as compared to the Fiscal 2008 Period, partially offset by the impact of the net cash proceeds associated with the convertible note hedge arrangement with Credit Suisse and a warrant to Credit Suisse to purchase shares of our Class A common stock transactions during the Fiscal 2008 Period and incremental debt acquisition costs incurred during the Fiscal 2009 Period related to issuance of 8⁵/8% Senior Notes and the Prior Senior Credit Facility, as described further in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Ratings

        The Company is rated by nationally recognized rating agencies. The significance of individual ratings varies from agency to agency. However, companies assigned ratings at the top end of the range have, in the opinion of certain rating agencies, the strongest capacity for repayment of debt or payment of claims, while companies at the bottom end of the range have the weakest capability. Ratings are always subject to change and there can be no assurance that the Company's current ratings will continue for any given period of time. A downgrade of the Company's debt ratings, depending on the extent, could increase the cost to borrow funds. Below are our latest ratings per category, which were current as of the date of this Form 10-K.

EBITDA

        Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") were approximately $487.8 million, $510.3 million and $517.3 million for the Fiscal 2010 Period, the Fiscal 2009 Period and the Fiscal 2008 Period, respectively. The net decrease in EBITDA in the Fiscal 2010 Period from the Fiscal 2009 Period was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating income during the Fiscal 2010 Period as described in further detail above under "Results of Operations." The Company uses EBITDA as a supplemental liquidity measure because we find it useful to understand and evaluate our capacity, excluding the impact of interest, taxes, and non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, for servicing our debt, paying dividends and otherwise meeting our cash needs, prior to our consideration of the impacts of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors for these purposes as well. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, since it omits the impact of interest, taxes and changes in working capital that use or provide cash (such as receivables, payables and inventories) as well as the sources or uses of cash associated with changes in other balance sheet items (such as long term loss accruals and deferred items). Because EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for the replacement of the assets being depreciated and amortized, which assets will often have to be replaced in the future. Further, EBITDA, because it also does not reflect the impact of debt service, income taxes, cash dividends, capital expenditures and other cash commitments from time to

47

time as described in more detail elsewhere in this Form 10-K, does not represent how much discretionary cash we have available for other purposes. Nonetheless, EBITDA is a key measure expected by and useful to our fixed income investors, rating agencies and the banking community all of whom believe, and we concur, that these measures are critical to the capital markets' analysis of our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, pay dividends and otherwise meet cash needs, respectively. We also evaluate EBITDA because it is clear that movements in these non-GAAP measures impact our ability to attract financing and pay dividends. EBITDA, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities is calculated as follows (in millions):

	Fiscal 2010 Period			Fiscal 2009 Period			Fiscal 2008 Period
EBITDA	$	487.8		$	510.3		$	517.3
Interest expense, net		(148.1	)		(151.0	)		(128.4	)

Interest Rate Swaps

        As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, Regal Cinemas had three interest rate swap agreements effective as of January 1, 2009, which hedged an aggregate of approximately $700.0 million of variable rate debt obligations. During the quarter ended April 2, 2009, Regal Cinemas entered into four additional hedging relationships via four distinct interest rate swap agreements with maturity terms of two to three years each from the respective effective dates of the swaps, which require Regal Cinemas to pay interest at fixed rates ranging from 2.15% to 2.53% and receive interest at a variable rate. These interest rate swaps were designated to hedge approximately $1,000.0 million of variable rate debt obligations and became effective during the year ended December 31, 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the three interest rate swaps effective as of January 1, 2009 matured. As a result, the Company's four interest rate swap agreements effective as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 hedged an aggregate of approximately $1,000.0 million of variable rate debt obligations at an effective rate of approximately 5.82%.

        On September 15, 2008, because of the sudden deterioration in the credit standing of the Lehman counterparty to an interest rate swap agreement designated to hedge approximately $100.0 million of variable rate debt obligations, the Company concluded that the hedging relationship was no longer expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows. As a result, on September 15, 2008, the hedging relationship ceased to qualify for hedge accounting. For the period from September 15, 2008 through September 25, 2008, the Company recognized $0.5 million (the change in fair value of the former hedging derivative) as a reduction of interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. On October 3, 2008, the Lehman counterparty filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result, an event of default occurred under the provisions of the interest rate swap agreement between the Company and the Lehman counterparty, which effectively terminated the interest rate swap on October 3, 2008, as indicated above. Accordingly, $1.6 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss as of October 3, 2008 will be reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings (i.e., when interest payments are made on the

48

variable rate debt obligations) as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining life of the two-year original hedge as long as the variable rate debt obligations remain outstanding. During the quarter ended October 1, 2009, the Company released the final portion of the deferred loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss by recording interest expense (net of related tax effects) of approximately $0.4 million and a corresponding $0.4 million reduction of other comprehensive loss. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company paid a final termination value of approximately $2.5 million (including accrued interest) associated with the interest rate swap.

        Under the terms of the Company's effective interest rate swap agreements as of December 30, 2010, Regal Cinemas pays interest at various fixed rates ranging from 2.15% to 2.53% and receives interest at a variable rate based on the 3-month LIBOR. The 3-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determines the variable portion of the interest rate-swaps for the following three-month period. The interest rate swaps settle any accrued interest for cash on the last day of each calendar quarter, until expiration. At such dates, the differences to be paid or received on the interest rate swaps will be included in interest expense. No premium or discount was incurred upon the Company entering into the interest rate swaps, because the pay and receive rates on the interest rate swaps represented prevailing rates for each counterparty at the time the interest rate swaps were entered into. The interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and as such, the Company has effectively hedged its exposure to variability in the future cash flows attributable to the 3-month LIBOR on approximately $1,000.0 million of variable rate obligations. The change in the fair values of the interest rate swaps is recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps' gains or losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion reported in earnings (interest expense). As interest expense is accrued on the debt obligation, amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the designated hedging instruments (the four interest rate swaps) will be reclassified into earnings to obtain a net cost on the debt obligation equal to the effective yield of the fixed rate of each swap.

        The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps is based on Level 2 inputs as described in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which include observable inputs such as dealer quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, and represents the estimated amount Regal Cinemas would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration various factors, including current interest rates, credit risk and counterparty credit risk. The counterparties to the Company's interest rate swaps are major financial institutions. The Company evaluates the bond ratings of the financial institutions and believes that credit risk is at an acceptably low level. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion of the Company's interest rate swaps' fair value estimation methods and assumptions.

Sale-Leaseback Transactions

        For information regarding our various sale and leaseback transactions, refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Contractual Cash Obligations and Commitments

        The Company has assumed long-term contractual obligations and commitments in the normal course of business, primarily debt obligations and non-cancelable operating leases. Other than the operating leases that are detailed below, the Company does not utilize variable interest entities or any other form of off-balance sheet financing. As of December 30, 2010, the Company's estimated

49

contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments over the next several periods are as follows (in millions):

		Payments Due By Period
		Total		Current		13 - 36 months		37 - 60 months		After 60 months

(1)

These amounts (excluding aggregate debt discount of approximately $19.8 million) are included on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2010. Our Amended Senior Credit Facility provides for mandatory prepayments under certain scenarios. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information about our long-term debt obligations and related matters.

(2)

Future interest payments on the Company's unhedged debt obligations (consisting of approximately $243.8 million of variable interest rate borrowings under the Term Facility, $275.0 million outstanding under the 9¹/8% Senior Notes, $400.0 million outstanding under the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes, $74.7 million outstanding under the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes, and approximately $12.5 million of other debt obligations) are based on the stated fixed rate or in the case of the $243.8 million of variable interest rate borrowings under the Term Facility, the current interest rate as of December 30, 2010 (3.79%). Future interest payments on the Company's hedged indebtedness as of December 30, 2010 (the remaining $1,000.0 million of borrowings under the Term Facility) are based on (1) the applicable margin (as defined in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) as of December 30, 2010 3.50% and (2) the expected fixed interest payments under the Company's interest rate swap agreements, which are described in further detail under Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

(3)

The present value of these obligations, excluding interest, is included on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2010. Future interest payments are calculated based on interest rates implicit in the underlying leases, which have a weighted average interest rate of 11.23%, maturing in various installments through 2021. Refer to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information about our capital lease obligations and lease financing arrangements.

50

(4)

Includes estimated capital expenditures to which we were committed as of December 30, 2010, including improvements associated with existing theatres, the construction of new theatres and the estimated cost of ADA related betterments.

(5)

We enter into operating leases in the ordinary course of business. Such lease agreements provide us with the option to renew the leases at defined or then fair value rental rates for various periods. Our future operating lease obligations would change if we exercised these renewal options or if we enter into additional operating lease agreements. Our operating lease obligations are further described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

(6)

These amounts are included on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2010 and represent liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits. The table does not include approximately $25.7 million of recorded liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits for which we do not believe that the amount and timing of the payments are reasonably estimable.

(7)

In addition, as of December 30, 2010, Regal Cinemas had approximately $82.3 million available for drawing under the $85.0 million Revolving Facility. Regal Cinemas also maintains a sublimit within the Revolving Facility of $10.0 million for short-term loans and $30.0 million for letters of credit.

        We believe that the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flow expected from operations and availability under our Revolving Facility will be adequate for the Company to execute its business strategy and meet anticipated requirements for lease obligations, capital expenditures, working capital and debt service for the next 12 months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        Other than the operating leases detailed above in this Form 10-K, under the heading "Contractual Cash Obligations and Commitments," the Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        For a discussion of the recent accounting pronouncements relevant to our operations, please refer to the information provided under Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

        The Company is exposed to various market risks including interest rate risk and equity price risk. The Company's interest rate risk is confined to interest rate exposure of its and its wholly owned subsidiaries' debt obligations that bear interest based on floating rates. The Amended Senior Credit Facility provides variable rate interest that could be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. Borrowings under the Term Facility bear interest, at Regal Cinemas' option, at either a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate or the base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin.

        Under the terms of the Company's effective interest rate swap agreements (which hedge an aggregate of $1,000.0 million of variable rate debt obligations as of December 30, 2010) described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, Regal Cinemas pays interest at various fixed rates ranging from 2.15% to 2.53% and receives interest at a variable rate based on the 3-month LIBOR.

        As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, borrowings of $1,232.5 million (net of debt discount) and $1,265.4 million, respectively, were outstanding under the Term Facility at an effective interest rate of 5.42% (as of December 30, 2010) and 5.38% (as of December 31, 2009), after the impact of the interest rate swaps is taken into account. A hypothetical change of 10% in the Company's

51

effective interest rate under the Term Facility as of December 30, 2010, would increase or decrease interest expense by $6.7 million for the year ended December 30, 2010.

        In addition, the Company is exposed to equity price risk associated with approximately 1.2 million shares of stock held in RealD, Inc. as described further in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Such shares of stock are accounted for as available for sale securities with recurring fair value adjustments recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss/income (net of related tax effects).

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Board of Directors
Regal Entertainment Group:

        Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

        Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of such controls as of December 30, 2010. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management believes that the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 30, 2010.

        KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm of the Company's consolidated financial statements, has issued an audit report on management's assertion with respect to the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2010, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Regal Entertainment Group:

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Regal Entertainment Group and subsidiaries as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, deficit and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 30, 2010. We also have audited Regal Entertainment Group's internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Regal Entertainment Group's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

54

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regal Entertainment Group and subsidiaries as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 30, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, Regal Entertainment Group maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

REGAL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009

1. THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        Regal Entertainment Group (the "Company," "Regal," "we" or "us") is the parent company of Regal Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("REH"), which is the parent company of Regal Cinemas Corporation ("Regal Cinemas") and its subsidiaries. Regal Cinemas' subsidiaries include Regal Cinemas, Inc. ("RCI") and its subsidiaries, which include Edwards Theatres, Inc. ("Edwards"), Hoyts Cinemas Corporation ("Hoyts") and United Artists Theatre Company ("United Artists"). The terms Regal or the Company, REH, Regal Cinemas, RCI, Edwards, Hoyts and United Artists shall be deemed to include the respective subsidiaries of such entities when used in discussions included herein regarding the current operations or assets of such entities.

        Regal operates the largest theatre circuit in the United States, consisting of 6,698 screens in 539 theatres in 37 states and the District of Columbia as of December 30, 2010. The Company formally operates on a 52-week fiscal year with each quarter generally consisting of 13 weeks, unless otherwise noted. The Company's fiscal year ends on the first Thursday after December 25, which in certain years (such as fiscal 2008) results in a 53-week fiscal year.

        During 2001 and 2002, the Anschutz Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Anschutz") acquired controlling equity interests in United Artists, Edwards and RCI upon each of the entities' emergence from bankruptcy reorganization. In May 2002, the Company sold 18.0 million shares of its Class A common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $19.00 per share, receiving aggregate net offering proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses, of $314.8 million.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Regal and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

        Revenues are generated principally through admissions and concessions sales with proceeds received in cash or via credit card at the point of sale. Other operating revenues consist primarily of product advertising (including vendor marketing programs) and other ancillary revenues that are recognized as income in the period earned. The Company generally recognizes payments received attributable to the marketing and advertising services provided by the Company under certain vendor programs as revenue in the period in which the related impressions are delivered. Such impressions are measured by the concession product sales volume, which is a mutually agreed upon proxy of attendance and reflects the Company's marketing and advertising services delivered to its vendors. In instances where the consideration received is in excess of fair value of the advertising services provided, the excess is recorded as a reduction of concession costs. Proceeds received from advance ticket sales and gift cards are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company recognizes revenue associated with gift cards and advanced ticket sales at such time as the items are redeemed, or when redemption becomes unlikely. The determination of the likelihood of redemption is based on an analysis of the Company's historical redemption trends.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all unrestricted highly liquid debt instruments and investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 30, 2010, the Company held substantially all of its cash in temporary cash investments in the form of certificates of deposit and variable rate investment accounts with major financial institutions.

Inventories

        Inventories consist of concession products and theatre supplies. The Company states inventories on the basis of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost, which is not in excess of net realizable value.

Property and Equipment

        The Company states property and equipment at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in income and expense when realized.

        The Company capitalizes the cost of computer equipment, system hardware and purchased software ready for service. During the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company capitalized approximately $9.3 million and $11.9 million of such costs, which were associated primarily with (i) new point-of-sale devices at the Company's box offices and concession stands, (ii) new ticketing kiosks, and (iii) computer hardware and software purchased for the Company's theatre locations and corporate office. The Company also capitalizes certain direct external costs associated with software developed for internal use after the preliminary software project stage is completed and Company management has authorized further funding for a software project and it is deemed probable of completion. We capitalize these external software development costs only until the point at which the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose.

        The Company records depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings	20 - 30 years
Equipment	3 - 20 years
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of term of lease or asset life
Computer equipment and software	3 - 5 years

        As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, included in property and equipment is $104.3 million and $105.2 million, respectively, of assets accounted for under capital leases and lease financing arrangements, before accumulated depreciation of $53.3 million and $48.2 million, respectively. The Company records amortization using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease terms or the estimated useful lives noted above.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, marketable equity securities and investments in non-consolidated entities described below, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company generally evaluates assets for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which management believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment charge in the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair market value.

        The Company considers actual theatre level cash flows, future years budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, amortizing intangible asset carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated cash flows from continuing use until the expected disposal date or the fair value of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The expected disposal date does not exceed the remaining lease period unless it is probable the lease period will be extended and may be less than the remaining lease period when the Company does not expect to operate the theatre to the end of its lease term. The fair value of assets is determined using the present value of the estimated future cash flows or the expected selling price less selling costs for assets of which the Company expects to dispose. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management's estimates (Level 3 inputs as described in FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures) are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions, and current industry trading multiples.

        This analysis resulted in the recording of impairment charges of $10.3 million, $15.3 million and $22.4 million for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented are specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre.

Leases

        The majority of the Company's operations are conducted in premises occupied under non-cancelable lease agreements with initial base terms ranging generally from 15 to 20 years. The Company, at its option, can renew a substantial portion of the leases at defined or then fair rental rates for various periods. Certain leases for Company theatres provide for contingent rentals based on the revenue results of the underlying theatre and require the payment of taxes, insurance, and other costs applicable to the property. Also, certain leases contain escalating minimum rental provisions. There are no conditions imposed upon us by our lease agreements or by parties other than the lessor that legally obligate the Company to incur costs to retire assets as a result of a decision to vacate our leased properties. None of our lease agreements require us to return the leased property to the lessor in its

original condition (allowing for normal wear and tear) or to remove leasehold improvements at our cost.

        The Company accounts for leased properties under the provisions of ASC Topic 840, Leases and other authoritative accounting literature. ASC Subtopic 840-10, Leases—Overview requires that the Company evaluate each lease for classification as either a capital lease or an operating lease. The Company performs this evaluation at the inception of the lease and when a modification is made to a lease. As to those arrangements that are classified as capital leases, the Company records property under capital leases and a capital lease obligation in an amount equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments to be made over the life of the lease at the beginning of the lease term, or the fair value of the leased property. The property under capital lease is amortized on a straight-line basis as a charge to expense over the lease term, as defined, or the economic life of the leased property, whichever is less. During the lease term, as defined, each minimum lease payment is allocated between a reduction of the lease obligation and interest expense so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease obligation. The Company does not believe that exercise of the renewal options in its leases are reasonably assured at the inception of the lease agreements because our leases: (i) provide for either (a) renewal rents based on market rates or (b) renewal rents that equal or exceed the initial rents, and (ii) do not impose economic penalties upon our determination whether or not to exercise the renewal option. As a result, there are not sufficient economic incentives at the inception of our leases, in our view, to consider that our lease renewal options are reasonably assured of being exercised and therefore, we generally consider the initial base term as the lease term under ASC Subtopic 840-10.

        The Company records rent expense for its operating leases with contractual rent increases in accordance with ASC Subtopic 840-20, Leases—Operating Leases on a straight-line basis from the "lease commencement date" as specified in the lease agreement until the end of the base lease term.

        For leases in which the Company is involved with construction of the theatre, the Company accounts for the lease during the construction period under the provisions of ASC Subtopic 840-40, Leases—Sale-Leaseback Transactions. The landlord is typically responsible for constructing a theatre using guidelines and specifications agreed to by the Company and assumes substantially all of the risk of construction. In accordance with ASC Subtopic 840-40, if the Company concludes that it has substantially all of the construction period risks, it records a construction asset and related liability for the amount of total project costs incurred during the construction period. Once construction is completed, the Company considers the requirements under ASC Subtopic 840-40, for sale-leaseback treatment, and if the arrangement does not meet such requirements, it records the project's construction costs funded by the landlord as a financing obligation. The obligation is amortized over the financing term based on the payments designated in the contract.

        In accordance with ASC Subtopic 840-20, we expense rental costs incurred during construction periods for operating leases as such costs are incurred. For rental costs incurred during construction periods for both operating and capital leases, the "lease commencement date" is the date at which we gain access to the leased asset. Historically, and for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, these rental costs have not been significant to our consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Sale and Leaseback Transactions

        The Company accounts for the sale and leaseback of real estate assets in accordance with ASC Subtopic 840-40. Losses on sale leaseback transactions are recognized at the time of sale if the fair value of the property sold is less than the undepreciated cost of the property. Gains on sale and leaseback transactions are deferred and amortized over the remaining lease term.

Goodwill

        The carrying amount of goodwill at December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was approximately $178.8 million. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate. Under ASC Subtopic 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Goodwill, the Company has identified its reporting units to be the designated market areas in which the Company conducts its theatre operations. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value the Company is required to reallocate the fair value of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value by using an enterprise valuation methodology determined by applying multiples to cash flow estimates less net indebtedness, which the Company believes is an appropriate method to determine fair value. There is considerable management judgment with respect to cash flow estimates and appropriate multiples and discount rates to be used in determining fair value and such management estimates fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy. The Company's annual goodwill impairment assessments for the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 indicated that the fair value of each of its reporting units exceeded their carrying value and therefore, goodwill was not deemed to be impaired.

Intangible Assets

        As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, intangible assets totaled $32.5 million and $18.1 million, respectively, before accumulated amortization of $10.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Intangible assets are recorded at cost or fair value, in the case of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets. In connection with the acquisition of Consolidated Theatres described in Note 3—"Acquisitions," the Company acquired certain identifiable intangible assets, including $9.9 million related to favorable leases with a weighted average amortization period of 13.1 years and approximately $8.2 million related to an on-screen advertising contract which will be amortized on a straight-line basis through January 2011. In addition, the Company acquired certain other identifiable intangible assets, consisting of $14.4 million related to favorable leases with a weighted average amortization period of 35 years, in connection with its acquisition of eight theatres acquired from AMC as further described in Note 3—"Acquisitions." During the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, the Company recognized $3.9 million, $3.8 million and $2.6 million of amortization, respectively, related to these intangible assets. The Company did not record an impairment of any intangible assets

during the year ended December 30, 2010. Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years for such intangible assets as of December 30, 2010 is projected below:

2012		1.1
2013		1.1
2014		1.1
2015		1.1

Debt Acquisition Costs

        Other non-current assets include debt acquisition costs, which are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related agreements using a method that approximates the effective interest method. Debt acquisition costs as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $51.8 million and $64.6 million, respectively, before accumulated amortization of $19.4 million and $31.7 million, respectively.

Investments

        The Company accounts for its investments in non-consolidated entities using the equity method of accounting and has recorded the investments within "Other Non-Current Assets" in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company records equity in earnings and losses of these entities accounted for following the equity method of accounting in its consolidated statements of income. As of December 30, 2010, the Company holds a 19.4% interest in National CineMedia, LLC ("National CineMedia") and a 46.7% interest in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners, LLC ("DCIP") (as described further under Note 4—"Investments"). In addition, the Company holds an investment in available-for-sale equity securities of RealD, Inc., an entity specializing in the licensing of 3D technologies. See Note 13—"Fair Value of Financial Instruments" for a discussion of fair value estimation methods and assumptions with respect to the Company's investment in RealD, Inc. The carrying value of the Company's investment in these entities as of December 30, 2010 was approximately $132.8 million.

        During the year ended January 1, 2009, the Company received an additional $3.4 million of sale proceeds related to Fandango. Accordingly, the Company recognized an additional gain of $3.4 million ($2.0 million after tax) during the year ended January 1, 2009. In connection with the sale, the Company agreed to amend its existing contract with Fandango in exchange for an amendment fee totaling $5.5 million. This amount has been recorded as deferred revenue and will be amortized to revenue on a straight-line basis over the six-year term of the amendment.

        The Company reviews investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be fully recoverable. The Company reviews unaudited financial statements on a quarterly basis and audited financial statements on an annual basis for indicators of triggering events or circumstances that indicate the potential impairment of these investments as well as current

equity prices for its investment in National CineMedia and discounted projections of cash flows for certain of its other investees. Additionally, the Company has periodic discussions with the management of significant investees to assist in the identification of any factors that might indicate the potential for impairment. In order to determine whether the carrying value of investments may have experienced an "other-than-temporary" decline in value necessitating the write-down of the recorded investment, the Company considers various factors, including the period of time during which the fair value of the investment remains substantially below the recorded amounts, the investees financial condition and quality of assets, the length of time the investee has been operating, the severity and nature of losses sustained in current and prior years, a reduction or cessation in the investees dividend payments, suspension of trading in the security, qualifications in accountant's reports due to liquidity or going concern issues, investee announcement of adverse changes, downgrading of investee debt, regulatory actions, changes in reserves for product liability, loss of a principal customer, negative operating cash flows or working capital deficiencies and the recording of an impairment charge by the investee for goodwill, intangible or long-lived assets. Once a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the Company writes down its investment to fair value. There was no impairment of the Company's investments during the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009.

Income Taxes

        Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that its deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The Company expects that certain deferred income tax assets are not more likely than not to be recovered and therefore has established a valuation allowance. The Company reassesses its need for the valuation allowance for its deferred income taxes on an ongoing basis.

        Additionally, income tax rules and regulations are subject to interpretation, require judgment by the Company and may be challenged by the taxation authorities. As described further in Note 7—"Income Taxes," effective December 29, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes—Overview. In accordance with ASC Subtopic 740-10, the Company recognizes a tax benefit only for tax positions that are determined to be more likely than not sustainable based on the technical merits of the tax position. With respect to such tax positions for which recognition of a benefit is appropriate, the benefit is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions are evaluated on an ongoing basis as part of the Company's process for determining the provision for income taxes.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Interest Rate Swaps

        Regal Cinemas has entered into hedging relationships via interest rate swap agreements to hedge against interest rate exposure of its variable rate debt obligations. Certain interest rate swaps settle any accrued interest for cash on the last day of each calendar quarter, until expiration. At such dates, the differences to be paid or received on the interest rate swaps will be included in interest expense. The interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and as such, the change in the fair values of the interest rate swaps is recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps' gains or losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion reported in earnings. As interest expense is accrued on the debt obligation, amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss related to the interest rate swaps will be reclassified into earnings to obtain a net cost on the debt obligation equal to the effective yield of the fixed rate of each swap. In the event that an interest rate swap is terminated prior to maturity, gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income or loss remain deferred and are reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps is based on Level 2 inputs as described in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which include observable inputs such as dealer quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, and represents the estimated amount Regal Cinemas would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration various factors, including current interest rates, credit risk and counterparty credit risk. The counterparties to the Company's interest rate swaps are major financial institutions. The Company evaluates the bond ratings of the financial institutions and believes that credit risk is at an acceptably low level.

Deferred Revenue

        Deferred revenue relates primarily to vendor marketing programs, gift cards and advance ticket sales, the amount we received related to the sale of our equity interest in Fandango (see Note 1—"The Company and Basis of Presentation") and the amount we received for agreeing to the existing exhibitor service agreement ("ESA") modification described in Note 4—"Investments." Deferred revenue related to vendor marketing programs, gift cards and advance ticket sales are recognized as revenue as described above in this Note 2 under "Revenue Recognition." As described in this Note 2 under "Investments," deferred revenue related to the sale of our equity interest in Fandango will be amortized to revenue on a straight-line basis over the six-year term of the agreement. The amount we received for agreeing to the ESA modification will be amortized to advertising revenue over the 30 year term of the agreement following the units of revenue method. In addition, as described in Note 4—"Investments," amounts recorded as deferred revenue in connection with the receipt of newly issued common units of National CineMedia pursuant to the provisions of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement will be amortized to advertising revenue over the remaining term of the ESA following the units of revenue method. As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, approximately $339.2 million and $339.4 million of deferred revenue related to the ESA was recorded as a component of non-current deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Deferred Rent

        The Company recognizes rent on a straight-line basis after considering the effect of rent escalation provisions resulting in a level monthly rent expense for each lease over its term. The deferred rent liability is included in other non-current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Film Costs

        The Company estimates its film cost expense and related film cost payable based on management's best estimate of the ultimate settlement of the film costs with the distributors. Generally, less than one-third of our quarterly film expense is estimated at period-end. The length of time until these costs are known with certainty depends on the ultimate duration of the film's theatrical run, but is typically "settled" within two to three months of a particular film's opening release. Upon settlement with our film distributors, film cost expense and the related film cost payable are adjusted to the final film settlement.

Loyalty Program

        Members of the Regal Crown Club® earn credits for each dollar spent at one of our theatres and earn concession or ticket awards based on the number of credits accumulated. Because we believe that the value of the awards granted to our Regal Crown Club® members is insignificant in relation to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award, the Company records the estimated incremental cost of providing awards under our Regal Crown Club® loyalty program at the time the awards are earned. Historically, and for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, the costs of these awards have not been significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Advertising and Start-Up Costs

        The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Start-up costs associated with a new theatre are also expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

        As described in Note 9—"Capital Stock And Share-Based Compensation," effective December 30, 2005, we adopted ASC Subtopic 718-10, Compensation—Stock Compensation—Overall utilizing the modified prospective approach. Under ASC Subtopic 718-10, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee's requisite service period. Prior to the adoption of ASC Subtopic 718-10, we accounted for stock option grants in accordance using the intrinsic value method, and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense for stock option grants when the exercise price equaled the fair value of common stock on the date of grant.

        In connection with the adoption of ASC Subtopic 718-10, the Company also elected to adopt the alternative transition method for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation. The alternative transition method includes a simplified method to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool ("APIC pool") related to the tax effects of employee share-based

compensation, which is available to absorb tax deficiencies that could be recognized subsequent to the adoption of ASC Subtopic 718-10.

Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to film costs, property and equipment, goodwill, income taxes and purchase accounting. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segments

        As of December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, the Company managed its business under one reportable segment: theatre exhibition operations.

Acquisitions

        The Company accounts for acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in income. For significant acquisitions, the Company obtains independent third party valuation studies for certain of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to assist the Company in determining fair value. The estimation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves a number of estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts recorded. The results of the acquired businesses are included in the Company's results from operations beginning from the day of acquisition.

Comprehensive Income

        Total comprehensive income for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009 was $75.7 million, $95.1 million and $103.9 million, respectively. Total comprehensive income consists of net income attributable to controlling interest and other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, related to the change in the aggregate unrealized gain/loss on the Company's interest rate swap arrangements and available-for-sale equity securities during each of the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009. The Company's interest rate swap arrangements and available-for-sale equity securities are further described in Note 5—"Debt Obligations" and Note 13—"Fair Value of Financial Instruments."

Reclassifications

        Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 and 2009 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2010 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) requires all business combinations completed after the effective date to be accounted for by applying the acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method). SFAS No. 141(R) expands the definition of transactions and events that qualify as business combinations; requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at the fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in revenue, not goodwill; changes the recognition timing for restructuring costs; and requires acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred. Future reductions in the valuation allowance recorded relative to pre-acquisition periods will result in a decrease in the provision for income taxes. In addition, with respect to uncertain tax positions, changes in the amount of tax benefit recognized relative to pre-acquisition periods will result in an increase/decrease in the provision for income taxes (see Note 7—"Income Taxes" for further discussion). The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income (loss) on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 was adopted by the Company on January 2, 2009. The adoption had the effect of reclassifying amounts previously classified under "minority interest" (approximately $(0.4) million as of January 1, 2009 and $0.5 million as of December 27, 2007) to a component of equity under "noncontrolling interest" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of deficit and comprehensive income (loss). Amounts previously classified under "minority interest in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries" are now classified as "noncontrolling interest" and presented net of tax below "net income" to arrive at "net income attributable to controlling interest" in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities which amends SFAS No. 133, and requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information about how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The required disclosures include the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains or losses in tabular format, information about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and the company's strategies and objectives for using derivative

instruments. The Statement expands the current disclosure framework in SFAS No. 133. The Company adopted SFAS No. 161 during the year ended December 31, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

        In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events, which establishes reporting and disclosure requirements based on the existence of conditions at the date of the balance sheet for events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Companies are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. Effective July 2, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165 and has included certain disclosures in Note 14—"Subsequent Events."

        During June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) which is to be adopted as of the beginning of its first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, and interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51 ("FIN 46(R)") to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics:

a.

The power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance; and



b.

The obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity.

        Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. SFAS No. 167 amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 amends FIN 46(R) to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. SFAS No. 167 amends FIN 46(R) to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. The enhanced disclosures are required for any enterprise that holds a variable interest in a variable interest entity. The adoption of SFAS No. 167 had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 168 will become the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task

Force, and related accounting literature. SFAS No. 168 reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Also included is relevant Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections. SFAS No. 168 was effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance as of October 1, 2009. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

        In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, ("ASU 2010-06"). This Update provides a greater level of disaggregated information and enhanced disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and became effective for the Company as of April 1, 2010 except for certain disclosure requirements. Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years and is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2011.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Eight AMC Theatres

        On May 24, 2010 and June 24, 2010, the Company acquired eight theatres with 106 screens located in Illinois, Indiana and Colorado from an affiliate of AMC Entertainment, Inc. ("AMC"). The Company purchased five of these AMC theatres representing 63 screens for approximately $55.0 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and acquired the other three AMC theatres representing 43 screens in exchange for two Regal theatres consisting of 26 screens. As of the acquisition date, the exchanged Regal theatres had a net book value of approximately $0.2 million. The Company accounted for the exchanged theatre assets as a non-monetary transaction and as such, allocated the net book value of the Regal theatres to the exchanged AMC theatres. Total cash paid of approximately $55.0 million was directly allocated to the other five AMC theatres using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the total cash purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each of the respective theatre locations based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including an independent third party valuation. The results of operations of the eight acquired theatres have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the respective acquisition dates.

        The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the aggregate cash purchase price to the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the respective dates of acquisition (in millions):

Property and equipment, net	$	40.6
Intangible assets		14.4
Total purchase price	$	55.0

3. ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

        The transaction included the acquisition of certain identifiable intangible assets, consisting of $14.4 million related to favorable leases with a weighted average amortization period of 35 years. Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 reflecting the above acquisition have not been presented herein because the impact was inconsequential to the historical consolidated statements of income presented herein.

Acquisition of Consolidated Theatres

        On April 30, 2008, the Company acquired Consolidated Theatres, which held a total of 28 theatres with 400 screens in Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The total net cash purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $209.3 million. In conjunction with the closing, we entered into a final judgment with the Department of Justice ("DOJ"), which required us to hold separate and divest ourselves of four theatres comprising 52 screens in North Carolina. Three of the four theatres subject to the judgment were existing Regal properties and the fourth theatre was acquired from Consolidated Theatres. Because the fourth theatre had minimal and declining cash flows at the acquisition date, none of the purchase price was allocated to the long-lived assets associated with this theatre. Our impairment review during the quarter ended June 26, 2008 did not result in any impairment charges related to these four theatres on a standalone basis. However, during the quarter ended September 25, 2008, the Company made the decision to sell three of these four theatres (two of the Regal theatres and the Consolidated theatre) together in order to partially satisfy our divestiture requirement. As a result of agreeing to sell the theatres as a package, we were required to evaluate the theatres for impairment as a disposal group (as opposed to the stand alone evaluation during the quarter ended June 26, 2008) and accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $7.9 million during the quarter ended September 25, 2008. On October 23, 2008, the Company completed its divestiture of the three theatres. On April 30, 2009, the Company completed its divestiture of the last of the four theatres.

        The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each of the respective theatre locations based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including an independent third party valuation. The results of operations of the acquired theatres have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the acquisition date.

        The following is a summary of the final allocation of the cash purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in millions):

Current assets	$	1.4
Property and equipment, net		209.9
Intangible assets		18.1
Current liabilities		(11.2	)
Long-term liabilities		(8.9	)
Total purchase price	$	209.3

4. INVESTMENTS

Investment in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners

        On February 12, 2007, we, along with AMC and Cinemark, Inc. ("Cinemark") formed a joint venture company known DCIP, to create a financing model and establish agreements with major motion picture studios for the implementation of digital cinema in our theatres. On March 10, 2010, DCIP executed definitive agreements and related financing transactions in connection with the conversion to digital projection. DCIP's financing raised approximately $660.0 million, consisting of approximately $445.0 million in senior bank debt, approximately $135.0 million in additional junior capital and approximately $80.0 million in equity contributions (consisting of cash and existing digital projection systems) from us, AMC and Cinemark. Concurrent with closing, the Company entered into a master equipment lease agreement (the "Master Lease") and other related agreements (collectively, the "Digital Cinema Agreements") with Kasima, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of DCIP. Upon execution of the Digital Cinema Agreements, the Company made equity contributions to DCIP of approximately $41.7 million, consisting of $29.1 million in cash and 200 existing digital projection systems with a fair value of approximately $12.6 million (collectively, the "DCIP Contributions"). The Company recorded such DCIP Contributions as an increase in its investment in DCIP. In connection with the contribution of its 200 existing digital projection systems, the Company recorded a loss on the contribution of $2.0 million based on the excess of the carrying value of the digital projection systems contributed over the $12.6 million fair value (as determined by an independent appraisal) of such equipment. In addition, during May 2010, Regal sold an additional 337 digital projection systems to DCIP for aggregate proceeds of approximately $20.0 million. In connection with this sale, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of approximately $2.8 million. Such losses have been presented as a component of "Net (gain) loss on disposal and impairment of operating assets" in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 30, 2010.

        After giving effect to the DCIP Contributions, the Company holds a 46.7% economic interest in DCIP as of December 30, 2010, while continuing to maintain a one-third voting interest along with each of AMC and Cinemark. Since the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of DCIP or any of its subsidiaries, it will continue to account for its investment in DCIP under the equity method of accounting. The Company's investment in DCIP is included as a component of "Other non-current assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Through December 31, 2009, the Company effected cumulative cash equity contributions totaling $8.0 million and recorded cumulative

equity losses in DCIP of $7.3 million. The changes in the carrying amount of our investment in DCIP for the year ended December 30, 2010 are as follows (in millions):

Balance as of December 31, 2009	$	0.7

Balance as of December 30, 2010	$	32.1

In addition to cash investments in DCIP totaling $0.7 million, upon execution of the Digital Cinema Agreements, the Company effected additional equity contributions to DCIP of approximately $41.7 million, consisting of cash and existing digital projection systems, during the year ended December 30, 2010.

For the year ended December 30, 2010, the Company recorded a loss of $11.0 million, representing its share of the net loss of DCIP. Such amount is presented as a component of "Other, net" in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

        We expect DCIP to fund the cost of conversion to digital projection principally through the collection of virtual print fees from motion picture studios and equipment lease payments from participating exhibitors, including us. In accordance with the Master Lease, the digital projection systems are leased from Kasima, LLC under a twelve-year term with ten one-year fair value renewal options. The Master Lease also contains a fair value purchase option. Under the Master Lease, the Company pays annual minimum rent of $1,000 per digital projection system for the first six and a half years from the effective date of the agreement and is, upon certain conditions, subject to minimum annual rent of $3,000 per digital projection system beginning at six and half years from the effective date of the agreement through the end of the lease term. The Company is also subject to various types of other rent if such digital projection systems do not meet minimum performance requirements as outlined in the Master Lease. Certain of the other rent payments are subject to either a monthly or an annual maximum. The Company accounts for the Master Lease as an operating lease for accounting purposes.

        During 2010, the Company focused on an accelerated deployment of 3D compatible digital projection systems to a majority of its first run U.S. theatres and expects to continue the accelerated 3D deployment into the first half of 2011. With respect to the Company's existing 35mm film projection equipment that is scheduled to be replaced with digital projection systems, the Company has begun to accelerate depreciation on such 35 mm film projection equipment over the expected deployment schedule since the Company plans to dispose of such equipment prior to the end of their useful lives. To that end, during the year ended December 30, 2010, the Company recorded approximately $18.9 million of accelerated depreciation related to such 35mm film projection equipment. As of December 30, 2010, we operated 2,202 screens outfitted with digital projection systems, 1,710 of which are digital 3D capable.

Investment in National CineMedia, LLC

        In March 2005, Regal and AMC announced the combination of the operations of Regal CineMedia Corporation ("RCM"), and AMC's subsidiary, National Cinema Network, Inc., into a new joint venture company known as National CineMedia. In July 2005, Cinemark, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired an interest in National CineMedia. National CineMedia concentrates on in-theatre advertising and creating complementary business lines that leverage the operating personnel, asset and customer bases of its theatrical exhibition partners, which includes Regal, AMC and Cinemark. National CineMedia is, subject to limited exceptions, the exclusive provider of advertising and event services to Regal, AMC and Cinemark. The Company did not recognize any gain or loss resulting from the initial formation of National CineMedia due to the Company's continued involvement in the operations of National CineMedia. Pursuant to the other documents entered into in connection with the joint venture transaction, AMC and Regal, through their subsidiaries, retained all advertising contracts signed on or before the close of business on March 31, 2005, and Cinemark retained all advertising contracts signed on or before the close of business on July 15, 2005, subject to an administrative fee payable to National CineMedia to service such contracts.

        On February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc. ("NCM, Inc."), the sole manager of National CineMedia, completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of its common stock. NCM, Inc. sold 38.0 million shares of its common stock for $21 per share in the IPO, less underwriting discounts and expenses. NCM, Inc. used a portion of the net cash proceeds from the IPO to acquire newly issued common units from National CineMedia. As a result of the NCM, Inc.'s acquisition of common units in National CineMedia, the Company recognized a change in interest gain of approximately $182.7 million along with a corresponding increase in the Company's equity investment in National CineMedia.

        In connection with the completion of the IPO, the joint venture partners, including RCI, amended and restated their ESAs with National CineMedia. In exchange for a significant portion of its pro rata share of the IPO proceeds, RCI agreed to a modification of National CineMedia's payment obligation under the ESA. The modification extended the term of the ESA to 30 years, provided National CineMedia with a five-year right of first refusal beginning one year prior to the end of the term and changed the basis upon which RCI is paid by National CineMedia from a percentage of revenues associated with advertising contracts entered into by National CineMedia to a monthly theatre access fee. The theatre access fee is composed of a fixed $0.07 payment per patron which will increase by 8% every five years starting at the end of fiscal 2011 and a fixed $800 payment per digital screen each year, which will increase by 5% annually starting at the end of fiscal 2007 (or $926 for fiscal 2010). The access fee revenues received by the Company under its contract are determined annually based on a combination of both fixed and variable factors which include the total number of theatre screens, attendance and actual revenues (as defined in the ESA) generated by National CineMedia. The ESA does not require us to maintain a minimum number of screens and does not provide a fixed amount of access fee revenue to be earned by the Company in any period. The theatre access fee paid in the aggregate to us, AMC and Cinemark will not be less than 12% of NCM's aggregate advertising revenue, or it will be adjusted upward to meet this minimum payment. On-screen advertising time provided to our beverage concessionaire is provided by National CineMedia under the terms of the ESA. In addition, we receive mandatory quarterly distributions of any excess cash from National CineMedia.

        The amount we received for agreeing to the ESA modification was approximately $281.0 million, which represents the estimated fair value of the ESA modification payment. We estimated the fair value of the ESA payment based upon a valuation performed by the Company with the assistance of third party specialists. This amount has been recorded as deferred revenue and will be amortized to advertising revenue over the 30 year term of the ESA following the units of revenue method. Under the units of revenue method, amortization for a period is calculated by computing a ratio of the proceeds received from the ESA modification payment to the total expected decrease in revenues due to entry into the new ESA over the 30 year term of the agreement and then applying that ratio to the current period's expected decrease in revenues due to entry into the new ESA.

        At the closing of the IPO, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 4.0 million shares of common stock of NCM, Inc. at the initial offering price of $21 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. In connection with this over-allotment option exercise, Regal, AMC and Cinemark each sold to NCM, Inc. common units of National CineMedia on a pro rata basis at the initial offering price of $21 per share, less underwriting discounts and expenses. Regal sold approximately 1.6 million common units to NCM, Inc. for proceeds of approximately $32.2 million and recognized a gain on the sale of such units of approximately $19.3 million. Upon completion of this sale of common units, Regal held approximately 21.2 million common units of National CineMedia ("Initial Investment Tranche"). Such common units are immediately redeemable on a one-to-one basis for shares of NCM, Inc. common stock.

        Upon the closing of the IPO, National CineMedia entered into a $725.0 million term loan facility, the net cash proceeds of which were used to redeem preferred units issued to each of Regal, AMC and Cinemark on a pro rata basis pursuant to a recapitalization of National CineMedia prior to completion of the IPO. We received approximately $315.1 million as a result of the preferred unit redemption. The Company recognized such cash distributions from National CineMedia by (1) reducing its equity investment in National CineMedia from approximately $166.4 million to zero and (2) recording distributions in excess of the investment balance in National CineMedia of approximately $148.7 million as a gain. After the payment of current taxes, net cash proceeds from these transactions totaled approximately $447.4 million.

        Because the investment in National CineMedia has been reduced to zero, we will not provide for any additional losses as we have not guaranteed obligations of National CineMedia and we are not otherwise committed to provide further financial support for National CineMedia. In addition, subsequent to the IPO, the Company determined it would not recognize its share of any undistributed equity in the earnings of National CineMedia pertaining to the Company's Initial Investment Tranche in National CineMedia until National CineMedia's future net earnings, net of distributions received, equal or exceed the amount of the above described excess distribution. Until such time, equity earnings related to the Company's Initial Investment Tranche in National CineMedia will be recognized only to the extent that the Company receives cash distributions from National CineMedia. The Company believes that the accounting model provided by ASC 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity investee losses in excess of an investor's basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent to recognizing an excess distribution. The Company's Initial Investment Tranche is recorded at $0 cost.

        Also in connection with the IPO, the joint venture partners entered into a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement with National CineMedia. The Common Unit Adjustment Agreement was

created to account for changes in the number of theatre screens operated by each of the joint venture partners. Historically, each of the joint venture partners has increased the number of screens it operates through acquisitions and newly built theatres. Since the increased attendance associated with these incremental screens in turn provides for additional advertising revenues to National CineMedia, National CineMedia agreed to compensate the joint venture partners by issuing additional common membership units to the joint venture partners in consideration for their increased attendance from newly built theatres and acquisitions and overall contribution to the joint venture. The Common Unit Adjustment Agreement also provides protection to National CineMedia in that the joint venture partners may be required to transfer or surrender common units to National CineMedia based on certain limited events, including declines in attendance associated with certain closed theatres and the number of screens operated. As a result, each joint venture partner's equity ownership interests are proportionately adjusted to reflect the risks and rewards relative to their contributions to the joint venture.

        The Common Unit Adjustment Agreement provides that transfers of common units are solely between the joint venture partners and National CineMedia. There are no transfers of units among the joint venture partners. In addition, there are no circumstances under which common units would be surrendered by the Company to National CineMedia in the event of an acquisition by one of the joint venture partners. However, adjustments to the common units owned by one of the joint venture partners will result in an adjustment to the Company's equity ownership interest percentage in National CineMedia.

        Pursuant to our Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, from time to time, common units of National CineMedia held by the joint venture partners will be adjusted up or down through a formula primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by each joint venture partner. The common unit adjustment is computed annually, except that an earlier common unit adjustment will occur for a joint venture partner if its acquisition or disposition of theatres, in a single transaction or cumulatively since the most recent common unit adjustment, will cause a change of two percent or more in the total annual attendance of all of the joint venture partners. In the event that a common unit adjustment is determined to be a negative number, the joint venture partner shall cause, at its election, either (a) the transfer and surrender to National CineMedia a number of common units equal to all or part of such joint venture partner's common unit adjustment or (b) pay to National CineMedia, an amount equal to such joint venture partner's common unit adjustment calculated in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement.

        As described further below, subsequent to the IPO and through December 30, 2010, the Company received an additional 4.5 million newly issued common units of National CineMedia ("Additional Investments Tranche") as a result of the annual adjustment provisions of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-10-35-29 (formerly EITF 02-18, Accounting for Subsequent Investments in an Investee after Suspension of Equity Loss Recognition) by analogy, which also refers to AICPA Technical Practice Aid 2220.14 which indicates that if a subsequent investment is made in an equity method investee that has experienced significant losses, the investor must determine if the subsequent investment constitutes funding of prior losses. The Company concluded that the construction or acquisition of new theatres that has led to the common unit adjustments included in its

Additional Investments Tranche equates to making additional investments in National CineMedia. The Company evaluated the receipt of the additional common units in National CineMedia and the assets exchanged for these additional units and has determined that the right to use its incremental new screens would not be considered funding of prior losses. As such, the Additional Investments Tranche is accounted for separately from the Company's Initial Investment Tranche following the equity method with undistributed equity earnings included as a component of "Earnings recognized from NCM" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

        The NCM, Inc. IPO and related transactions have the effect of reducing the amounts NCM, Inc. would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities as a result of an increase in its proportionate share of tax basis in NCM Inc.'s tangible and intangible assets. On the IPO date, NCM, Inc., the Company, AMC and Cinemark entered into a tax receivable agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, NCM, Inc. will make cash payments to us, AMC and Cinemark in amounts equal to 90% of NCM, Inc.'s actual tax benefit realized from the tax amortization of the intangible assets described above. For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, cash savings in income and franchise tax will be computed by comparing NCM, Inc.'s actual income and franchise tax liability to the amount of such taxes that NCM, Inc. would have been required to pay had there been no increase in NCM Inc.'s proportionate share of tax basis in NCM's tangible and intangible assets and had the tax receivable agreement not been entered into. The tax receivable agreement shall generally apply to NCM, Inc.'s taxable years up to and including the 30^th anniversary date of the NCM, Inc. IPO and related transactions. Pursuant to the terms of the tax receivable agreement, the Company received payments of $7.0 million from NCM, Inc. during the year ended December 30, 2010 with respect to NCM, Inc.'s 2008 and 2009 taxable years. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received payments of $5.7 million with respect to NCM, Inc.'s 2008 taxable year. Finally, during the year ended January 1, 2009, the Company received payments of $4.6 million with respect to NCM, Inc.'s 2007 taxable year.

On April 9, 2008, March 17, 2009 and March 17, 2010 we received from National CineMedia approximately 0.8 million, 0.5 million and 0.3 million, respectively, newly issued common units of National CineMedia in accordance with the annual adjustment provisions of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. In addition, on May 29, 2008, we received from National CineMedia approximately 2.9 million newly issued common units of National CineMedia in accordance with the adjustment provisions of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement in connection with our acquisition of Consolidated Theatres. The Company recorded the additional common units (Additional Investments Tranche) at fair value using the available closing stock prices of NCM, Inc. as of the dates on which the units were received. As a result of these adjustments, the Company recorded increases of $5.9 million, $7.0 million and $73.3 million to its investment in National CineMedia during the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively.

Since Consolidated Theatres maintains an existing agreement with an on-screen advertising provider, National CineMedia will not be provided access to such theatre locations until expiration of the related advertising contract. In accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, Regal agreed to pay National CineMedia an amount that approximates the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization that would have been generated by National CineMedia if it were able to sell on-screen advertising in the acquired theatre locations on an exclusive basis. The fair value of such payment was approximately $8.0 million and was accrued by the Company

during the year ended January 1, 2009. Such amount was determined by the present value of the ultimate amount estimated to be paid to National CineMedia (approximately $8.9 million) through expiration of the on-screen advertising contract. The accretion associated with this obligation will be reflected in interest expense over the life of the related obligation. The Company recorded the remaining $65.4 million as an increase to deferred revenue during the year ended January 1, 2009. This amount is being amortized to advertising revenue over the remaining term of the ESA following the units of revenue method. With respect to the common units received on March 17, 2010 and March 17, 2009, the Company recorded a corresponding $12.9 million increase to deferred revenue. This amount is being amortized to advertising revenue over the remaining term of the ESA following the units of revenue method.

Approximately $7.4 million, $6.2 million and $2.8 million of these cash distributions received during the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively, were attributable to the Additional Investments Tranche and were recognized as a reduction in our investment in National CineMedia. The remaining amounts were recognized in equity earnings during each of these periods and have been included as component of "Earnings recognized from NCM" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On August 18, 2010, we redeemed 4.2 million of our National CineMedia common units for a like number of shares of NCM, Inc. common stock, which we sold in an underwritten public offering for $16.00 per share, reducing our investment in National CineMedia by $13.7 million, the average carrying amount of the shares sold. We received approximately $64.5 million in proceeds after deducting related fees and expenses payable by us, resulting in a gain on sale of $50.8 million. Finally, on September 8, 2010, we redeemed an additional 0.1 million National CineMedia common units for a like number of shares of NCM, Inc. common stock and sold them to the underwriters to cover over-allotments at $16.00 per share, further reducing our investment in National CineMedia by $0.3 million, the average carrying amount of the shares sold. We received approximately $1.5 million of net proceeds from this sale, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.2 million. These transactions caused a proportionate decrease in the Company's Initial Investment Tranche and Additional Investments Tranche and decreased our ownership share in National CineMedia. As a result, on a fully diluted basis, we own a 19.4% interest in NCM, Inc. as of December 30, 2010.

        Regal Cinemas Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement—On May 19, 2010, Regal Cinemas entered into a sixth amended and restated credit agreement (the "Amended Senior Credit Facility"), with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Administrative Agent ("Credit Suisse") and the lenders party thereto (the "Lenders") which amends, restates and refinances the fifth amended and restated credit agreement (the "Prior Senior Credit Facility") among Regal Cinemas, Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, and the lenders party thereto. The Amended Senior Credit Facility consists of a term loan facility (the "Term Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $1,250.0 million with a final maturity date in November 2016 and a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $85.0 million with a final maturity date in May 2015. The Term Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the Term Facility, with the balance payable on the Term Facility maturity date.

        Proceeds of the Term Facility (approximately $1,237.5 million, net of a $12.5 million debt discount) were applied to refinance the term loan under the Prior Senior Credit Facility, which had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $1,262.1 million. Upon the execution of the Amended Senior Credit Facility, Regal recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $18.4 million. No amounts have been drawn on the Revolving Facility. The Amended Senior Credit Facility also permits Regal Cinemas to borrow additional term loans thereunder, subject to lenders providing additional commitments of up to $200.0 million and satisfaction of other conditions, as well as other term loans for acquisitions and certain capital expenditures subject to lenders providing additional commitments and satisfaction of other conditions.

The obligations under the Amended Senior Credit Facility are also guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Regal Cinemas and secured by a lien on all or substantially all of such subsidiaries' personal property and certain real property pursuant to that certain second amended and restated guaranty and collateral agreement, dated as of May 19, 2010, among Regal Cinemas, certain subsidiaries of Regal Cinemas party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Administrative Agent (the "Amended Guaranty Agreement"). The obligations are further guaranteed by REH, on a limited recourse basis, with such guaranty being secured by a lien on the capital stock of Regal Cinemas, and by Regal on an unsecured basis.

        Borrowings under the Amended Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at Regal Cinemas' option, at either a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin that is determined according to the consolidated leverage ratio of Regal Cinemas and its subsidiaries. Such applicable margin will be either 2.5% or 2.75% in the case of base rate loans and either 3.5% or 3.75% in the case of LIBOR rate loans. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly in arrears, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, at the end of each interest period, but in no event less often than every three months.

        Regal Cinemas may prepay borrowings under the Amended Senior Credit Facility, in whole or in part, in minimum amounts and subject to other conditions set forth in the Amended Senior Credit Facility. Regal Cinemas is required to make mandatory prepayments with:

•

50% of excess cash flow in any fiscal year (as reduced by voluntary repayments of the Term Facility), with elimination based upon achievement and maintenance of a leverage ratio of 3.75:1.00 or less;

•

100% of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales or other dispositions of property by Regal Cinemas and its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (including reinvestment rights);

•

100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of funded debt of Regal Cinemas and its subsidiaries, subject to exceptions; and

•

50% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of equity securities by Regal Cinemas, including the net cash proceeds of capital contributions to Regal Cinemas, with elimination based upon achievement and maintenance of a leverage ratio of 3.75:1.00 or less.

        The above-described mandatory prepayments are required to be applied pro rata to the remaining amortization payments under the Term Facility. When there are no longer outstanding loans under the Term Facility, mandatory prepayments are to be applied to prepay outstanding loans under the Revolving Facility with no corresponding permanent reduction of commitments under the Revolving Facility.

        The Amended Senior Credit Facility includes several financial covenants including:

•

maximum ratio of (i) the sum of funded debt (net of unencumbered cash) plus the product of eight (8) times lease expense to (ii) consolidated EBITDAR (as defined in the Amended Senior Credit Facility) of 6.00 to 1.0 throughout the term of the Amended Senior Credit Facility;

•

maximum ratio of funded debt (net of unencumbered cash) to consolidated EBITDA of 4.00 to 1.0 throughout the term of the Amended Senior Credit Facility;

•

minimum ratio of (i) consolidated EBITDAR to (ii) the sum of interest expense plus lease expense of 1.50 to 1.0 throughout the term of the Amended Senior Credit Facility; and

•

maximum capital expenditures not to exceed 35% of consolidated EBITDA for the prior fiscal year plus a one-year carryforward for unused amounts from the prior fiscal year.

        The Amended Senior Credit Facility requires that Regal Cinemas and its subsidiaries comply with certain customary covenants, including with respect to incurring indebtedness and liens, making investments and acquisitions, effecting mergers and asset sales, prepaying indebtedness, and paying dividends. Among other things, such limitations will restrict the ability of Regal Cinemas to fund the operations of Regal or any subsidiary of Regal that is not a subsidiary of Regal Cinemas, which guaranties the Amended Senior Credit Facility.

        The Amended Senior Credit Facility includes events of default relating to customary matters, including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; any material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default and cross acceleration with respect to indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million or more; bankruptcy; judgments involving liability of $25.0 million or more that are not paid; ERISA events; actual or asserted invalidity of guarantees or security documents; and change of control.

        As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, borrowings of $1,232.5 million (net of debt discount) and $1,265.4 million, respectively, were outstanding under the Term Facility at an effective interest rate of 5.42% (as of December 30, 2010) and 5.38% (as of December 31, 2009), after the impact of the interest rate swaps described below is taken into account.

        In connection with the offering of the Regal Cinemas 8⁵/8% Senior Notes described below, on July 15, 2009, the Company used all of the net proceeds (approximately $381.3 million) to repay a portion of the Prior Senior Credit Facility. As a result of this repayment, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $7.4 million, representing the pro-rata write off of unamortized debt issue costs under the Prior Senior Credit Facility.

        Regal 9¹/8% Senior Notes—On August 10, 2010, Regal entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as the representatives of the underwriters, with respect to the Company's issuance and sale of $275.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 9¹/8% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "9¹/8% Senior Notes"). On August 16, 2010, the Company issued the 9¹/8% Senior Notes under the Indenture with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting offering expenses paid by the Company, were approximately $269.5 million. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase a

portion of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes as described below under the heading "Regal 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes."

        The 9¹/8% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.125% per year, payable semiannually in arrears in cash on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 9¹/8% Senior Notes mature on August 15, 2018. The 9¹/8% Senior Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations. They rank on parity with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and prior to all of the Company's subordinated indebtedness. The 9¹/8% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Company's future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness and to any indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries. None of the Company's subsidiaries initially guarantee any of the Company's obligations with respect to the 9¹/8% Senior Notes.

        Prior to August 15, 2014, the Company may redeem all or any part of the 9¹/8% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. The Company may redeem the 9¹/8% Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time on or after August 15, 2014 at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture. In addition, prior to August 15, 2013, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of 9¹/8% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price specified in the Indenture.

        If the Company undergoes a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 9¹/8% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 9¹/8% Senior Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

        The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Company's (and its restricted subsidiaries') ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock, purchase or redeem capital stock, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire certain subordinated obligations; (iii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; (iv) permit, directly or indirectly, it to create, incur, or suffer to exist any lien, except in certain circumstances; (v) create or permit encumbrances or restrictions on its ability to pay dividends or make distributions on its capital stock, make loans or advances to its subsidiaries (or the Company), or transfer any properties or assets to its subsidiaries (or the Company); and (vi) merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are, however, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The Indenture contains other customary terms, including, but not limited to, events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding 9¹/8% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.

        Regal Cinemas 8⁵/8% Senior Notes—On July 15, 2009, Regal Cinemas issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "8⁵/8% Senior Notes") at a price equal to 97.561% of their face value in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Interest on the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on July 15 and January 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2010. The 8⁵/8% Senior Notes will mature on July 15, 2019.

        The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the initial purchase discount (approximately $9.8 million) and offering expenses paid by the Company, were approximately $381.3 million. The

Company used all of the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of the Prior Senior Credit Facility.

        The 8⁵/8% Senior Notes are Regal Cinemas' general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of its existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness; and senior in right of payment to all of Regal Cinemas' existing and future subordinated indebtedness, including the existing Regal Cinemas 9³/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"). The 8⁵/8% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of Regal Cinemas' existing and future secured indebtedness, including all borrowings under the Amended Senior Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of any of Regal Cinemas' subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes.

        The 8⁵/8% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by Regal and all of Regal Cinemas' existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its other indebtedness (collectively, with Regal, the "Guarantors"). The guarantees of the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes are the Guarantors' general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Guarantors' existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the 9¹/8% Senior Notes and the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes (deferred below), and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Guarantors' existing and future subordinated indebtedness, including the guarantees of the Senior Subordinated Notes. The 8⁵/8% Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness, including the guarantees under the Amended Senior Credit Facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of any of the Guarantors' subsidiaries that is not a guarantor of the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes.

        Regal 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes—On March 10, 2008, Regal issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes due March 15, 2011 (the "6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes"). Interest on the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2008. The 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Regal and rank on parity with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and prior to all of our subordinated indebtedness. The 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of our future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness and to any indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. None of our subsidiaries have guaranteed any of our obligations with respect to the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes. On or after December 15, 2010, note holders have the option to convert their 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes, in whole or in part, into shares of our Class A common stock at any time prior to maturity, subject to certain limitations, unless previously purchased by us at the note holder's option upon a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture to the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes dated March 10, 2008), at the then-existing conversion price per share.

        On December 30, 2010, at the then-current conversion price of $21.0348 per share (which conversion price has been and may be further adjusted pursuant to the certain events described further in the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes indenture), each $1,000 of aggregate principal amount of 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes is convertible into approximately 47.5403 shares of our Class A common

stock. Upon conversion, we may elect to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock. The conversion price and the number of shares delivered on conversion are subject to adjustment upon certain events.

        In connection with the issuance of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes, we used approximately $6.6 million of the net proceeds of the offering to enter into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with respect to our Class A common stock to reduce the potential dilution from conversion of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes. Under the terms of the convertible note hedge arrangement (the "2008 Convertible Note Hedge") with Credit Suisse, we paid $12.6 million for a forward purchase option contract under which we are entitled to purchase from Credit Suisse a fixed number of shares of our Class A common stock (at December 30, 2010, at a price per share of $21.0348). In the event of the conversion of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes, this forward purchase option contract allows us to purchase, at a fixed price equal to the implicit conversion price of shares issued under the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes, a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the shares that we issue to a note holder upon conversion. Settlement terms of this forward purchase option allow the Company to elect cash or share settlement based on the settlement option it chooses in settling the conversion feature of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes.

        In 2008, we also sold to Credit Suisse a warrant (the "2008 Warrant") to purchase shares of our Class A common stock. The 2008 Warrant is currently exercisable for approximately 3.6 million shares of our Class A common stock at the December 30, 2010 exercise price of $23.1739 per share (which exercise price has been and may be further adjusted pursuant to the provisions of the 2008 Warrant). We received $6.0 million in cash from Credit Suisse in return for the sale of this forward share purchase option contract. Credit Suisse cannot exercise the 2008 Warrant unless and until a conversion event occurs. We have the option of settling the 2008 Warrant in cash or shares of our Class A common stock. We accounted for the sale of the 2008 Warrant as the sale of a permanent equity instrument pursuant to the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity. Accordingly, the $6.0 million sales price of the forward stock purchase option contract was recorded as a decrease to consolidated deficit.

        The 2008 Convertible Note Hedge and the 2008 Warrant allow us to acquire sufficient Class A common shares from Credit Suisse to meet our obligation to deliver Class A common shares upon conversion by the note holder, unless the Class A common share price exceeds $23.1739 (as of December 30, 2010). When the fair value of our Class A common shares exceeds such price, the equity contracts no longer have an offsetting economic impact, and accordingly will no longer be effective as a share-for-share hedge of the dilutive impact of possible conversion.

        The 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes allow us to settle any conversion by remitting to the note holder the accreted value of the note in cash plus the conversion spread (the excess conversion value over the accreted value) in either cash, shares of our Class A common stock or a combination of stock and cash. The accounting for convertible debt with such settlement features is addressed in the consensus reached with respect to the accounting for Instrument B as set forth in ASC Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging—Embedded Derivatives. Because the accreted value of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes may be settled in cash, shares of our Class A common stock or a combination of stock and cash, the accreted value of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes is assumed to be settled in

shares and will result in dilution in our earnings per share computations using the if-converted method, if the effect is dilutive.

        Subsequent to the issuance of the 9¹/8% Senior Notes described above, during the year ended December 30, 2010, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase a total of approximately $125.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes, in a series of privately negotiated transactions. As a result of the repurchases, the Company recorded a $5.2 million loss on debt extinguishment during the year December 30, 2010.

Application of ASC Subtopic 470-20

        ASC Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options, requires that issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) should separately account for the liability and equity (conversion feature) components of such instruments. As a result, interest expense is imputed and recognized based upon the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate, which will result in incremental non-cash interest expense. During the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company recorded approximately $3.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of non-cash interest expense on the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes. The amount of contractual coupon interest recognized on the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes during the same periods was approximately $10.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively. During the year ended January 1, 2009, the Company retrospectively recorded approximately $4.2 million of non-cash interest expense for the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes and the 3³/4% Convertible Senior Notes. The amount of contractual coupon interest recognized on the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes and the 3³/4% Convertible Senior Notes during the same period was approximately $11.3 million.

        After giving effect to the repurchases during the quarter ended December 30, 2010 described under "Regal 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes" above, as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amounts of the $200.0 million 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes were approximately $74.4 million and $194.6 million, respectively, and the carrying amount of the related equity component (conversion feature) was $12.6 million. We anticipate recording additional non-cash interest expense on the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes in the amount of $0.3 million (the unamortized discount as of December 30, 2010) through the March 2011 maturity date of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes, thereby increasing the carrying value to $200.0 million. As of December 30, 2010, the if-converted value of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes was approximately $74.7 million.

Interest Rate Swaps

        On July 13, 2004, Regal Cinemas entered into four hedging relationships via four distinct interest rate swap agreements with final maturity terms ranging from three to five years each. On September 8, 2005, Regal Cinemas entered into an additional hedging relationship via a distinct interest rate swap agreement with a maturity term of four years. These interest rate swaps were designated to hedge approximately $1,100.0 million of its variable rate debt obligations. On June 30, 2007, one of our interest rate swaps designated to hedge approximately $200.0 million of variable rate debt obligations matured. On August 9, 2007, Regal Cinemas entered into two additional hedging relationships via two distinct interest rate swap agreements with maturity terms of two years each. These interest rate swaps were designated to hedge approximately $200.0 million of variable rate debt obligations. On June 30,

2008, two of our interest rate swaps designated to hedge $300.0 million of variable rate debt obligations matured. As described further below, on October 3, 2008, an interest rate swap agreement designed to hedge approximately $100.0 million of variable rate debt obligations effectively terminated. As a result, Regal Cinemas had three interest rate swap agreements effective as of January 1, 2009, which hedged an aggregate of approximately $700.0 million of variable rate debt obligations.

        During the year ended December 31, 2009, Regal Cinemas entered into four additional hedging relationships via four distinct interest rate swap agreements with maturity terms of two to three years each from the respective effective dates of the swaps, which require Regal Cinemas to pay interest at fixed rates ranging from 2.15% to 2.53% and receive interest at a variable rate. These interest rate swaps were designated to hedge approximately $1,000.0 million of variable rate debt obligations and became effective during the year ended December 31, 2009. Also during the year ended December 31, 2009, the three interest rate swaps effective as of January 1, 2009 matured. As a result, the Company's four interest rate swap agreements effective as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 hedge an aggregate of approximately $1,000.0 million of variable rate debt obligations at an effective rate of approximately 5.82%.

        Under the terms of the Company's effective interest rate swap agreements as of December 30, 2010, Regal Cinemas pays interest at various fixed rates ranging from 2.15% to 2.53% and receives interest at a variable rate based on the 3-month LIBOR. The 3-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determines the variable portion of the interest rate-swaps for the following three-month period. The interest rate swaps settle any accrued interest for cash on the last day of each calendar quarter, until expiration. At such dates, the differences to be paid or received on the interest rate swaps will be included in interest expense. No premium or discount was incurred upon the Company entering into the interest rate swaps, because the pay and receive rates on the interest rate swaps represented prevailing rates for each counterparty at the time the interest rate swaps were entered into. The interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and as such, the Company has effectively hedged its exposure to variability in the future cash flows attributable to the 3-month LIBOR on approximately $1,000.0 million of variable rate obligations. The change in the fair values of the interest rate swaps is recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps' gains or losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion reported in earnings (interest expense). As interest expense is accrued on the debt obligation, amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the designated hedging instruments (the four interest rate swaps) will be reclassified into earnings to obtain a net cost on the debt obligation equal to the effective yield of the fixed rate of each swap.

        See Note 13—"Fair Value of Financial Instruments" for discussion of the Company's interest rate swaps' fair value estimation methods and assumptions.

        Lease Financing Arrangements—These obligations primarily represent capitalized lease obligations resulting from the requirements of ASC Subtopic 840-40.

        Regal Cinemas 9³/8% Senior Subordinated Notes—On January 29, 2002, Regal Cinemas issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, and the Senior

Subordinated Notes mature on February 1, 2012. The Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by most of Regal Cinemas' existing subsidiaries and are unsecured, ranking behind Regal Cinemas' obligations under the Amended Senior Credit Facility, the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes and any future senior indebtedness.

        On April 17, 2002, Regal Cinemas sold an additional $150.0 million principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes, which were issued under the indenture pursuant to which Regal Cinemas sold its Senior Subordinated Notes in January 2002.

        Regal Cinemas has the option to redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 2007 at redemption prices declining from 104.688% of their principal amount on February 1, 2007 to 100% of their principal amount on or after February 1, 2010, plus accrued interest.

        On April 15, 2004, Regal and its subsidiary, Regal Cinemas Bond Corporation, commenced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes. The tender offer was completed on May 12, 2004 and approximately $298.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes were purchased. On July 15, 2004, the Company purchased an additional $361,000 principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes from a third party.

        On November 1, 2010, we redeemed the remaining outstanding $51.5 million principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes at a redemption price of 100.0% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest.

        Maturities of Debt Obligations—The Company's long-term debt and future minimum lease payments for its capital lease obligations and lease financing arrangements are scheduled to mature as follows:

6. LEASES

        The Company accounts for a majority of its leases as operating leases. Minimum rentals payable under all non-cancelable operating leases with terms in excess of one year as of December 30, 2010, are summarized for the following fiscal years (in millions):

2011	$	362.6
2012		349.7
2013		341.4
2014		333.2
2015		315.7
Thereafter		1,687.8
Total	$	3,390.4

        Rent expense under such operating leases amounted to $382.3 million, $378.8 million and $363.3 million for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively. Contingent rent expense was $22.4 million, $22.3 million and $20.4 million for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively.

Sale-Leaseback Transactions

        The Company has historically entered into sale and leaseback transactions whereby owned properties were sold and leased back under operating leases. The minimum rentals for these operating leases are included in the table above.

        In December 1995, United Artists Theatre Circuit, Inc. ("UATC") entered into a sale and leaseback transaction whereby 31 owned properties were sold to and leased back from an unaffiliated third party. In conjunction with the transaction, the buyer of the properties issued publicly traded pass-through certificates. In connection with this sale and leaseback transaction, UATC entered into a Participation Agreement that requires UATC to comply with various covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, guarantees, issuance of preferred stock of subsidiaries and subsidiary distributions, transfer of assets and payment of dividends. As of December 30, 2010, 12 theatres were subject to the sale leaseback transaction and approximately $33.5 million in principal amount of pass-through certificates were outstanding.

        Significant components of the Company's net deferred tax asset consisted of the following at (in millions):

Net deferred tax asset		$	95.3		$	88.4

        At December 30, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $61.6 million with expiration commencing in 2018. The Company's net operating loss carryforwards were generated by the entities of United Artists, Edwards and Hoyts. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 imposed substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses in the event of an "ownership change" of a corporation. Accordingly, the Company's ability to utilize the net operating losses acquired from United Artists, Edwards and Hoyts may be impaired as a result of the "ownership change" limitations.

        In assessing the realizable value of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 totaling $15.6 million and $13.1 million, respectively, as management believes it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will not be realized in future tax periods. Future reductions in the valuation allowance associated with a change in management's determination of the Company's ability to realize these deferred tax assets will result in a decrease in the provision for income taxes. During the year

ended December 30, 2010, the valuation allowance was increased by $2.3 million related to management's determination that it was more likely than not that certain state net operating losses created during the year ended December 30, 2010 would not be realized. Additionally, during the year ended December 30, 2010, the valuation allowance was increased by $0.2 million related to management's determination that it was more likely than not that certain state net operating losses created in years ended before December 30, 2010 would not be realized.

        Effective December 29, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10. A reconciliation of the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was as follows (in millions):

	Year Ended December 30, 2010			Year Ended December 31, 2009
Beginning balance	$	30.2		$	34.1
Decreases based on tax positions related to prior years		—			(0.4	)
Increases based on tax positions related to the current year		1.6			0.2
Expired tax attributes		—			(1.0	)
Lapse of statute of limitations		(2.1	)		(2.7	)
Ending balance	$	29.7		$	30.2

        Exclusive of interest and penalties, it is reasonably possible that gross unrecognized tax benefits associated with state tax positions will decrease between $11.1 million and $11.5 million within the next twelve months due the expiration of the statute of limitations and settlement of tax disputes with taxing authorities.

        The total net unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized at December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, were $17.6 million and $17.9 million, respectively. Additionally, the total net unrecognized tax benefits that would result in an increase to the valuation allowance if recognized at December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were approximately $1.7 million.

        The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had accrued gross interest and penalties of approximately $6.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties recognized in the statement of income for the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $1.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively. No interest and penalties were recognized in the statement of income for the year ended January 1, 2009.

        The Company and its subsidiaries collectively file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is not subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007, and with limited exceptions, is not subject to state income tax examinations for years before 2006. However, the taxing authorities still have the ability to review the propriety of tax attributes created in closed tax years if such tax attributes are utilized in an open tax year.

8. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

        Our theatres must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA") to the extent that such properties are "public accommodations" and/or "commercial facilities" as defined by the ADA. Compliance with the ADA requires that public accommodations "reasonably accommodate" individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations made to "commercial facilities" conform to accessibility guidelines unless "structurally impracticable" for new construction or technically infeasible for alterations. Non-compliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, fines, awards of damages to private litigants and additional capital expenditures to remedy such non-compliance.

        In prior years, private litigants and the DOJ had filed claims against us or our subsidiaries alleging that a number of our theatres with stadium seating violated the ADA because these theatres allegedly failed to provide wheelchair-bound patrons with lines of sight comparable to those available to other members of the general public and denied persons in wheelchairs access to the stadium portion of the theatres. On June 8, 2005, Regal reached an agreement with the DOJ resolving and dismissing the private litigants' claims and all claims made by the United States under the ADA. On December 9, 2010, the parties renewed the Consent Decree for another three year term. On December 9, 2010, the parties renewed the Consent Decree for another three year term. From time to time, we receive claims that the stadium seating offered by our theatres allegedly violates the ADA. In these instances, we seek to resolve or dismiss these claims based on the terms of the DOJ settlement or under applicable ADA standards.

        We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all current applicable regulations relating to accommodations for the disabled. We intend to comply with future regulations in this regard and except as set forth above, we do not currently anticipate that compliance will require us to expend substantial funds.

        In addition, we, from time to time, receive letters from the state officials in states where we operate theatres regarding investigation into the accessibility of our theatres to persons with visual impairments or the deaf and hard of hearing. In addition, on July 20, 2010, the DOJ issued Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking concerning the provision of closed captioning and descriptive audio within the theatre environment. Significantly, this is the first time the DOJ has stated that while open captioning may not be required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, closed captioning is so required. We believe we provide the members of the visually and hearing impaired communities with reasonable access to the movie-going experience but are further evaluating our options in the digital format and potential compliance issues related to same.

        Our theatre operations are also subject to federal, state and local laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship and health and sanitation and environmental protection requirements. On December 9, 2010, we learned that the District Attorney for Kings County, New York, filed a criminal complaint against the Company and the manager of the Company's theater located at 3907 Shore Parkway, Brooklyn, New York (the "Sheepshead Bay Theater"). The complaint alleges, among other things, that there were multiple instances where sewage from the Sheepshead Bay Theater was released into the waters of the State of New York without a valid permit. The actual costs that will be incurred in connection with this action cannot be quantified at this time and will depend on many unknown factors. While the Company intends to vigorously defend these matters, the Company cannot predict the outcome; however, it is likely that settlement would include a monetary penalty,

although an amount cannot be predicted. These matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.

        We and certain of our subsidiary corporations are also presently involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business operations, including, but not limited to, personal injury claims, employment and contractual matters. We believe we have adequately provided for the litigation or settlement of such matters. Management believes any additional liability with respect to these claims and disputes will not be material in the aggregate to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        The Company has entered into employment contracts, to which we refer as the "employment contracts," with five of its current executive officers, Ms. Miles and Messrs. Campbell, Dunn, Ownby, and Brandow, to whom we refer as the "executive" or "executives." Under each of the employment contracts, the Company must indemnify each executive from and against all liabilities with respect to such executive's service as an officer, and as a director, to the extent applicable. In addition, under the employment contracts, each executive is entitled to severance payments in connection with the termination by the Company of the executive without cause, the termination by the executive for good reason, or the termination of the executive, under circumstances in connection with a change in control of the Company (as defined within each employment contract).

        Pursuant to each employment contract, the Company provides for severance payments if the Company terminates an executive's employment without cause or if an executive terminates his or her employment for good reason; provided, however, such executive must provide written notification to the Company of the existence of a condition constituting good reason within 90 days of the initial existence of such condition and the resignation must occur within two (2) years of such existence date. Under these circumstances, the executive shall be entitled to receive severance payments equal to (i) the actual bonus, pro-rated to the date of termination, that executive would have received with respect to the fiscal year in which the termination occurs; (ii) two times the executive's annual base salary plus one times the executive's target bonus; and (iii) continued coverage under any medical, health and life insurance plans for a 24-month period following the date of termination.

        If the Company terminates any executive's employment, or if any executive resigns for good reason, within three (3) months prior to, or one (1) year after, a change of control of the Company (as defined within each employment contract), the executive shall be entitled to receive severance payments equal to: (i) the actual bonus, pro-rated to the date of termination, that executive would have received with respect to the fiscal year in which the termination occurs; and (ii)(a) in the case of Mr. Campbell and Ms. Miles, two and one-half times the executive's annual base salary plus two times the executive's target bonus; and (b) in the case of Messrs. Dunn, Ownby, and Brandow, two times the executive's annual salary plus one and one-half times the executive's target bonus; and (iii) continued coverage under any medical, health and life insurance plans for a 30-month period following the date of termination.

        Pursuant to the employment contracts, the maximum amount of payments and benefits payable to Ms. Miles and Messrs. Campbell, Dunn, Ownby and Brandow, in the aggregate, if such executives were terminated (in the event of a change of control) would be approximately $13.8 million.

        Each employment contract contains standard provisions for non-competition and non-solicitation of the Company's employees (other than the executive's secretary or other administrative employee who worked directly for executive) that are effective during the term of the executive's employment and shall continue for a period of one year following the executive's termination of employment with the Company. Each Executive is also subject to a permanent covenant to maintain confidentiality of the Company's confidential information.

9. CAPITAL STOCK AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Capital Stock

        As of December 30, 2010, the Company's authorized capital stock consisted of:

•

500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share;

•

200,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share; and

•

50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

        Of the authorized shares of Class A common stock, 18.0 million shares were sold in connection with the Company's initial public offering in May 2002. The Company's Class A common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "RGC." As of December 30, 2010, 130,594,743 shares of Class A common stock were outstanding. Of the authorized shares of Class B common stock, 23,708,639 shares were outstanding as of December 30, 2010, all of which are held by Anschutz Company. Each share of Class B common stock converts into one share of Class A common stock at the option of the holder or upon certain transfers of a holder's Class B common stock. Each holder of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes for each outstanding share of Class B common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter properly submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Of the authorized shares of the preferred stock, no shares were issued and outstanding as of December 30, 2010. The Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of Class A common stock on every matter properly submitted to the stockholders for a vote. Except as required by law, the Class A and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to the stockholders. The material terms and provisions of the Company's certificate of incorporation affecting the relative rights of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock are described below.

Common Stock

        The Class A common stock and the Class B common stock are identical in all respects, except with respect to voting and except that each share of Class B common stock will convert into one share of Class A common stock at the option of the holder or upon a transfer of the holder's Class B common stock, other than to certain transferees. Each holder of Class A common stock will be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of Class A common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter properly submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Each holder of Class B common stock will be entitled to ten votes for each outstanding share of Class B common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter properly submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Except as required by law, the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock will vote together on all matters. Subject to the

dividend rights of holders of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to any dividend declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for this purpose, and, subject to the liquidation preferences of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all the Company's remaining assets available for distribution to the stockholders in the event of the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up. No dividend can be declared on the Class A or Class B common stock unless at the same time an equal dividend is paid on each share of Class B or Class A common stock, as the case may be. Dividends paid in shares of common stock must be paid, with respect to a particular class of common stock, in shares of that class.

        Holders of common stock do not have any preemptive right to become subscribers or purchasers of additional shares of any class of the Company's capital stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are, when issued and paid for, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that the Company may designate and issue in the future.

Preferred Stock

        The Company's certificate of incorporation allows the Company to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock having rights senior to those of the common stock. The Company's board of directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any series of preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designations of these series. The issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could also have the effect of decreasing the market price of the Class A common stock. As of December 30, 2010, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

Share Repurchase Program

        During 2004, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program, which provided for the authorization to repurchase up to $50.0 million of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock within a twelve month period. The share repurchase program expired in November 2009. The Company made no repurchases of its outstanding Class A common stock under the program during the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009.

Warrants

        Other than disclosed in Note 5—"Debt Obligations" and Note 12—"Earnings Per Share," no warrants to acquire the Company's Class A or Class B common stock were outstanding as of December 30, 2010.

Dividends

        Regal paid four quarterly cash dividends of $0.18 per share on each outstanding share of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately $111.1 million in the aggregate, during the year ended December 30, 2010. In addition, on December 30, 2010, Regal declared an extraordinary cash dividend of $1.40 per share on each outstanding share of its Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately $216.0 million in the aggregate. Stockholders of record at the close of business on December 20, 2010 were paid this dividend on December 30, 2010. Regal paid four quarterly cash dividends of $0.18 per share on each outstanding share of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately $110.8 million in the aggregate, during the year ended December 31, 2009. Finally, Regal paid four quarterly cash dividends of $0.30 per share on each outstanding share of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock, or approximately $184.2 million in the aggregate, during the year ended January 1, 2009.

Share-Based Compensation

        In 2002, the Company established the Regal Entertainment Group Stock Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") for a total of 11,194,354 authorized shares, which provides for the granting of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to officers, employees and consultants of the Company. As described below under "Restricted Stock" and "Performance Share Units" the Incentive Plan also provides for grants of restricted stock and performance shares that are subject to restrictions and risks of forfeiture.

        In conjunction with the exchange transaction on April 12, 2002, the holders of outstanding options of United Artists and Regal Cinemas received under the Incentive Plan replacement options to purchase 8,832,147 shares of Regal Class A common stock at prices ranging from $4.44 to $12.87 per share. As a result, stock option information presented herein prior to the exchange of options has been retroactively restated to reflect the effects of the exchange transaction.

Stock Options

        In connection with the July 1, 2003, June 2, 2004, April 13, 2007 and December 30, 2010 extraordinary cash dividends and pursuant to the antidilution adjustment terms of the Incentive Plan, the exercise price and the number of shares of Class A common stock subject to options held by the Company's option holders were adjusted to prevent dilution and restore their economic position to that existing immediately before the extraordinary dividends. The antidilution adjustments made with respect to such options resulted in a decrease in the range of exercise prices, from $2.2090 to $14.6414 per share, an increase in the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of such options by 5,235,094, and an increase in the total number of authorized shares under the Incentive Plan to 18,319,207 (after giving effect to the May 11, 2005 amendment to the Incentive Plan, which increased the total number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance under the Incentive Plan by 1,889,759 shares). As of December 30, 2010 and after giving effect to the antidilution adjustments and the May 11, 2005 amendment to the Incentive Plan, options to purchase a total of 526,742 shares of Class A common stock were outstanding under the Incentive Plan, and 1,518,284 shares remain available for future issuance under the Incentive Plan. Stock option information presented herein has been adjusted to give effect to the extraordinary dividends. There were no accounting consequences for

changes made to reduce the exercise prices and increase the number of shares underlying options as a result of the extraordinary cash dividends because (1) the aggregate intrinsic value of the awards immediately after the extraordinary dividends was not greater than the aggregate intrinsic value of the awards immediately before the extraordinary dividends and (2) the ratio of the exercise price per share to the market value per share was not reduced.

        Effective December 30, 2005, the Company adopted ASC Subtopic 718-10 utilizing the modified prospective approach. Prior to the adoption of ASC Subtopic 718-10, we accounted for stock option grants in accordance with the intrinsic value method, and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense for those stock options having an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of the grant. Under the modified prospective approach, ASC Subtopic 718-10 applies to awards that were outstanding on December 30, 2005 and to new awards and the modification, repurchase or cancellation of awards after December 30, 2005. Under the modified prospective approach, compensation cost recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes share-based compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 30, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and recognized as expense over the remaining requisite service period. Share-based compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 30, 2005 are based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC Subtopic 718-10 and recognized as expense over the employee's requisite service period. Prior periods were not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard. In addition, the Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation. The alternative transition method includes a simplified method to establish the beginning balance of the APIC pool related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation, which is available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of ASC Subtopic 718-10.

        Stock options granted in connection with the exchange transaction are generally exercisable in installments of 20% per year from the original grant date of the exchanged options and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. Stock option grants issued subsequent to the exchange transaction have been established at prices not less than the fair market value as of the date of grant and are exercisable in installments of 20% per year and expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant.

        We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our stock option awards based on factors at the date of grant. Stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009 was based on the following assumptions at the dates the stock options were granted:

Expected volatility	38.0% - 39.0%
Expected life of options (in years)	7.5
Risk-free interest rate	3.1% - 4.3%
Dividend yield	3.0% - 4.5%

9. CAPITAL STOCK AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

        Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company's common stock price. The expected term of options granted is derived using the midpoint of the average vesting period and contractual life of the stock options. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the terms of the Company's employee stock options. The Company does not target a specific dividend yield for its dividend payments but is required to assume a dividend yield as an input to the Black-Scholes model. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's history and expectation of future dividend payouts and may be subject to substantial change in the future. There were no stock options granted during the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009.

        As share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the years ended December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it should be reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC Subtopic 718-10 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to stock options. Such expense is presented as a component of general and administrative expenses. No compensation expense related to stock options was recorded during the year ended December 30, 2010.

        We receive a tax deduction for certain stock option exercises during the period the options are exercised, generally for the excess of the price at which the stock is sold over the exercise price of the options. We are required to report excess tax benefits from the award of equity instruments as financing cash flows. Excess tax benefits are recorded when a deduction reported for tax return purposes for an award of equity instruments exceeds the cumulative compensation cost for the instruments recognized for financial reporting purposes. For the year ended December 30, 2010, our consolidated statement of cash flows reflects approximately $0.1 million of excess tax benefits as financing cash flows. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.8 million for the year ended December 30, 2010. The actual income tax benefit realized from stock option exercises was $0.2 million for the same period.

        The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at December 30, 2010 was approximately $2.0 million. Total intrinsic value of options exercised was $0.5 million, $0.1 million and $0.6 million, for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31 and 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively. As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had no nonvested stock options outstanding.

Restricted Stock

        The Company maintains the Incentive Plan which provides for restricted stock awards to officers, directors and key employees. Under the Incentive Plan, shares of Class A common stock of the Company may be granted at nominal cost to officers, directors and key employees, subject to a continued employment restriction. The restriction is fulfilled upon continued employment for a specified number of years (typically one to four years after the award date) and as such restrictions lapse, the award immediately vests. In addition, we will receive a tax deduction when restricted stock vests. The Incentive Plan participants are entitled to cash dividends and to vote their respective shares, although the sale and transfer of such shares is prohibited during the restricted period. The shares are also subject to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan. Through fiscal 2007, 588,145 shares were granted under the Incentive Plan at nominal cost to officers, key employees and certain directors. The closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant ranged from $18.67 to $22.40 per share. On January 16, 2008, 229,572 shares were granted under the Incentive Plan at nominal cost to officers, key employees and certain directors. The closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant was $17.07 per share. These awards vest 100% at the end of four years in the case of officers and key employees and vest 100% at the end of one year in the case of directors.

        On January 14, 2009, 371,129 restricted shares were granted under the Incentive Plan at nominal cost to officers, directors and key employees. On January 13, 2010, 289,679 restricted shares were granted under the Incentive Plan at nominal cost to officers, directors and key employees. These awards vest 25% at the end of each year for four years in the case of officers and key employees and vest 100% at the end of one year in the case of directors. The closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of this grant was $10.01 per share on January 14, 2009 and $14.72 per share on January 13, 2010. In addition, on June 30, 2009, 150,489 shares were granted under the Incentive Plan at nominal cost to the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant was $13.29 per share. All of the restricted shares subject to this award vest on June 30, 2013.

        During the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company withheld approximately 62,171 shares and 40,629 shares, respectively, of restricted stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as permitted by the applicable equity award agreements, to satisfy employee tax withholding requirements related to the vesting of restricted stock awards.

        During the fiscal years ended December 30, 2010, January 1, 2009 and December 27, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $4.4 million, $3.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to restricted share grants. Such expense is presented as a component of "General and administrative expenses." The compensation expense for these awards was determined based on the market price of our stock at the date of grant applied to the total numbers of

shares that were anticipated to fully vest. As of December 30, 2010, we have unrecognized compensation expense of $7.2 million associated with restricted stock awards.

        The following table represents the restricted stock activity for the years ended December 30, 2010, January 1, 2009 and December 27, 2007:

        During the year ended December 30, 2010, the Company paid four cash dividends of $0.18 on each share of outstanding restricted stock totaling approximately $0.7 million. In addition, on December 30, 2010, Regal paid an extraordinary cash dividend of $1.40 on each share of outstanding restricted stock totaling approximately $1.4 million.

Performance Share Units

        The Incentive Plan also provides for grants in the form of performance share units to officers, directors and key employees. Performance share agreements are entered into between the Company and each grantee of performance share units (each, a "2006 Performance Agreement"). Our 2006 Performance Agreement covered performance share grants issued through the year ended January 1, 2009. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2006 Performance Agreement, grantees will be issued shares of restricted common stock of the Company in an amount determined by the attainment of Company performance criteria set forth in the 2006 Performance Agreement. The performance criteria are tied to the average annual total shareholder returns (stock price appreciation plus dividend yield) attained ("TSRA") by the Company for each full twelve month period ending on the yearly anniversary of the grant date through the applicable calculation date (subject to the provisions contained in the Performance Agreement relating to the grantee's death, disability, retirement, termination with or without cause or the occurrence of a change of control). The shares of restricted common stock received upon attainment of the performance criteria will be subject to further vesting over a period of time, provided the grantee remains a service provider to the Company during such period. Pursuant to the 2006 Performance Agreement, on the calculation date, the grantee will be entitled to receive a payment in an amount equal to the dividends paid by the Company with respect to a share of its Class A common stock from the grant date through the calculation date, multiplied by the number of shares of restricted common stock, if any, the grantee receives pursuant to the 2006 Performance Agreement.

        Through fiscal 2007, 590,939 performance shares were granted under the Incentive Plan at nominal cost to officers and key employees. The closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant ranged from $19.40 to $22.25 per share. On January 16, 2008, 252,721 performance shares were granted under the Incentive Plan at nominal cost to officers and key employees. The closing price of

9. CAPITAL STOCK AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

our Class A common stock on the date of grant was $17.07 per share. Each performance share represents the right to receive from 0% to 175% of the target numbers of shares of restricted common stock. The number of shares of restricted common stock earned will be determined by comparing the actual TSRA on Regal's Class A common stock on the third anniversary of the grant date to the target TSRA set forth in each respective 2006 Performance Agreement. A target number of shares of restricted common stock to be earned by each eligible grantee has been established with respect to the performance share grants and is primarily based on the grantee's employee classification and base compensation, referred to as "target long-term incentive" ("Target LTI") below. In addition, these awards are subject to an additional one-year vesting requirement. The Company has developed a performance range around the target TSRA and the number of shares of restricted stock that will be issued will be based on actual TSRA, according to the following schedule:

Average Annual Shareholder Return		Target Shares of Restricted Stock
12.5% TSRA < 15.0%		50% of Target LTI
15.0% TSRA < 17.5%		100% of Target LTI
17.5% TSRA < 20.0%		125% of Target LTI
20.0% TSRA < 25.0%		150% of Target LTI
	25.0% TSRA	175% of Target LTI

        Since these performance shares contain a market condition which should be reflected in the grant date fair value of an award in accordance with the provisions of ASC Subtopic 718-10, these performance shares were measured on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award grant and calculates the fair market value for the performance shares granted. The key assumptions used for valuing these performance share awards follow:

	As of December 30, 2010
Measurement dates	6/1/2006, 1/10/2007 and 1/16/2008
Measurement dates closing stock price	$17.07 - $22.25
Expected volatility	18.3% - 19.98%
Risk-free interest rate	2.55% - 5.02%
Expected dividend yield	5.39% - 7.03%

        Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company's dividend adjusted common stock price measured daily over a three year period ending on the respective grant dates. The risk-free interest rate is set equal to the yield on three-year (constant maturity) U.S. Government bonds as of June 1, 2006, January 10, 2007 and January 16, 2008. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's history and expectation of future dividend payouts. The dividend yield is included in the calculation of returns for measurement against the performance goals defined above.

        In 2009, we adopted an amended and restated form of Performance Agreement (each, a "2009 Performance Agreement"). On January 14, 2009, 401,907 performance shares were granted under our Incentive Plan, at nominal cost to officers and key employees. In addition, on January 13, 2010, 311,953 performance shares were granted under our Incentive Plan, at nominal cost to officers and key

employees. Under the 2009 Performance Agreement, which is described in the section entitled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Performance Shares," of our 2009 proxy statement, each performance share represents the right to receive from 0% to 150% of the target numbers of shares of restricted Class A common stock. The number of shares of restricted common stock earned will be determined based on the attainment of specified performance goals by January 14, 2012 (the third anniversary of the grant date for the January 14, 2009 grant) and January 13, 2013 (the third anniversary of the grant date for the January 13, 2010 grant) as set forth in the 2009 Performance Agreement. Such performance shares vest on the fourth anniversary of their respective grant dates. The shares are subject to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan. The closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of this grant was $10.01 per share on January 14, 2009 and $14.72 per share on January 13, 2010, which approximates the respective grant date fair value of the awards.

        During the year ended December 30, 2010, 183,430 performance share awards were effectively cancelled. These awards were scheduled to vest on June 1, 2010, the one year anniversary of the calculation date. As of the calculation date, which was June 1, 2009, threshold performance goals were not satisfied, and therefore, all 183,430 restricted shares under this performance grant were cancelled as of June 1, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2009, 175,860 performance share awards were effectively cancelled. These awards were scheduled to vest on the calculation date of June 1, 2009. As of June 1, 2009, threshold performance goals were not satisfied, and therefore, all 175,860 restricted shares under this performance grant were cancelled as of June 1, 2009.

        As of the respective grant dates, the aggregate fair value of the performance share awards was determined to be $17.8 million, which includes related dividends on shares ultimately earned and paid on the third anniversary of the respective grant dates. The fair value of the performance share awards are amortized as compensation expense over the expected terms of the awards, which range from 3 to 4 years. During the years ended December 30, 2010, January 1, 2009 and December 27, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $4.0 million, $2.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to performance share grants. Such expense is presented as a component of "General and administrative expenses." As of December 30, 2010, we have $7.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the performance share units.

        The following table summarizes information about the Company's number of performance shares for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009:

		Year Ended December 30, 2010			Year Ended December 31, 2009			Year Ended January 1, 2009

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

        The Company sponsors an employee benefit plan, the Regal Entertainment Group 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the benefit of substantially all full-time employees. The Plan provides that participants may contribute up to 50% of their compensation, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Plan currently matches an amount equal to 100% of the first 3% of the participant's contributions and 50% of the next 2% of the participant's contributions. Employee contributions are invested in various investment funds based upon elections made by the employee. The Company made matching contributions of approximately $2.8 million, $2.6 million and $2.6 million to the Plan in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

        We compute earnings per share of Class A and Class B common stock using the two-class method. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential common stock equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock options, restricted stock and performance shares, the conversion spread on the 3³/4% Convertible Senior Notes, the 2003 Warrant, the assumed conversion of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes and the 2008 Warrant issued in connection with the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted shares and performance shares, the conversion spread on the 3³/4% Convertible Senior Notes, the 2003 Warrant and the 2008 Warrant issued in connection with the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury-stock method. The dilutive effect of assumed conversion of the 6¹/4% Convertible Senior Notes is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if-converted method. In addition, the computation of the diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock assumes the conversion of Class B common stock, while the diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.

        The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of our Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. The undistributed earnings for the periods presented are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common shares as if the earnings for the periods presented had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. Further, as we assume the conversion of Class B common stock in the computation of the diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock, the undistributed earnings are equal to net income attributable to controlling interest for that computation.

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories described in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures:

Level 1:    Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:    Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3:    Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

        The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 30, 2010:

The Company maintains an investment in RealD Inc., an entity specializing in the licensing of 3D technologies. In connection with the RealD, Inc. motion picture license agreement, the Company received a ten-year option to purchase 1,222,780 shares of RealD, Inc. common stock at approximately $0.00667 per share. The stock options vest in three tranches upon the achievement of screen installation targets. During the year ended December 30, 2010, the Company vested in all three tranches to purchase a total of 1,222,780 shares of RealD, Inc. common stock. The Company exercised its right to purchase shares of RealD, Inc. common stock during December 2010. The held shares of RealD, Inc. stock are accounted for as available-for-sale equity securities and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet in "Other non-current assets" with a corresponding amount recorded to "Other non-current liabilities" on the dates at which the options vested. The amount recorded in "Other non-current liabilities" is being amortized on a straight-line basis to reduce RealD licensing expense recorded in "Other operating expenses" in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 30, 2010. Recurring fair value adjustments to these shares are recorded to "Other non-current assets" with a corresponding entry to "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on a quarterly basis. The fair

value of the RealD, Inc. shares is determined using RealD, Inc.'s publicly traded common stock price, which falls under Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, after consideration of the lock-up period to which the Company is subject. As of December 30, 2010, the carrying value of the RealD, Inc. shares held by the Company as of December 30, 2010 was approximately $31.9 million. The corresponding amounts recorded in "Other non-current liabilities" and "Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net" were $23.7 million and $4.9 million (net of tax), respectively. The amount recorded in "Other non-current liabilities" is being amortized on a straight-line basis to reduce RealD, Inc. license expense recorded in the consolidated statement of income. Such amortization totaled $1.0 million for the year ended December 30, 2010.

The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps described in Note 5—"Debt Obligations is based on Level 2 inputs, which include observable inputs such as dealer quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, and represents the estimated amount Regal Cinemas would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration various factors, including current interest rates, credit risk and counterparty credit risk. The counterparties to the Company's interest rate swaps are major financial institutions. The Company evaluates the bond ratings of the financial institutions and believes that credit risk is at an acceptably low level. As of December 30, 2010, the aggregate fair value of the Company's four interest rate swaps was determined to be approximately $(28.2) million, which was recorded as components of "Other non-current liabilities" ($24.6 million) and "Accrued expenses" ($3.6 million) with a corresponding amount of $(17.1) million, net of tax, recorded to "Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net." As of December 31, 2009, the aggregate fair value the Company's four interest rate swaps was determined to be approximately $(16.8) million, which was recorded as a component of "Other non-current liabilities" with a corresponding amount of $(10.3) million, net of tax, recorded to "Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net." These interest rate swaps exhibited no ineffectiveness during the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009 and accordingly, the net losses on the swaps of $6.8 million, $1.6 million and $8.7 million, respectively, were reported as a component of other comprehensive loss for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009.

        In addition, the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized in the statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities:

        The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Long term obligations, excluding capital lease obligations, lease financing arrangements and other:

        The fair value of the Amended Senior Credit Facility described in Note 5—"Debt Obligations," which consists of the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility, is estimated based on quoted prices (Level 2 inputs as described in ASC Topic 820) as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The associated interest rates are based on floating rates identified by reference to market rates and are assumed to approximate fair value. The fair values of the 9¹/8% Senior Notes, the 8⁵/8% Senior Notes

        In addition to extending the maturity date of the New Term Loans, the Refinancing Agreement also amends the Amended Senior Credit Facility by reducing the interest rate on the New Term Loans, by providing, at Regal Cinemas' option, either a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin that is determined according to the consolidated leverage ratio of Regal Cinemas and its subsidiaries. Such applicable margin will be either 2.00% or 2.25% in the case of base rate loans and either 3.00% or 3.25% in the case of LIBOR rate loans. The Refinancing Agreement also amends the Second Amended and Restated Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated May 19, 2010, to exclude Margin Stock from the grant of the security interest in the Collateral used to secure the obligations under the Amended Senior Credit Facility. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting implications of the loan fees related to the Refinancing Agreement and the remaining unamortized debt issue costs and debt discount associated with the Amended Senior Credit Facility on its consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

Item 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

        None.

Item 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Commission under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission's rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers (whom we refer to in this periodic report as our Certifying Officers), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 30, 2010, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Attestation of Registered Public Accounting Firm

        Our management's report on internal control over financial reporting and our registered public accounting firm's audit report on the effectiveness of management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting are included in Part II, Item 8, on pages 53, 54 and 55 of this Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

        Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles reflect management's judgments and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable financial data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Members of
National CineMedia, LLC
Centennial, Colorado

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of National CineMedia, LLC (the "Company") as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, members' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. THE COMPANY

Description of Business

        National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM LLC" or "the Company") commenced operations on April 1, 2005 and operates the largest digital in-theatre network in North America, allowing NCM LLC to distribute advertising, Fathom entertainment programming events and corporate events under long-term exhibitor services agreements ("ESAs") with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment, Inc. ("AMCE"), Regal Cinemas, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal Entertainment Group ("Regal"), and Cinemark USA, Inc. ("Cinemark USA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. ("Cinemark"). AMC, Regal and Cinemark and their affiliates are referred to in this document as "founding members". NCM LLC also provides such services to certain third-party theatre circuits under "network affiliate" agreements, which expire at various dates.

        At December 30, 2010, NCM LLC had 110,752,192 common membership units outstanding, of which 53,549,477 (48.3%) were owned by NCM, Inc., 21,452,792 (19.4%) were owned by Regal, 18,803,420 (17.0%) were owned by AMC, and 16,946,503 (15.3%) were owned by Cinemark. The membership units held by the founding members are exchangeable into NCM, Inc. common stock on a one-for-one basis. During the third quarter of 2010, AMC and Regal completed a common unit membership redemption and an underwritten public offering of an aggregate 10,955,471 shares of National CineMedia, Inc.'s ("NCM, Inc." or "managing member"), common stock (see Note 7).

Basis of Presentation

        The Company has prepared its financial statements and related notes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

        On February 13, 2007, NCM, Inc., a Company formed by NCM LLC and incorporated in the State of Delaware with the sole purpose of becoming a member and sole manager of NCM LLC, completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). The Company's business is seasonal and for this and other reasons operating results for interim periods may not be indicative of the Company's full year results or future performance. As a result of the various related-party agreements discussed in Note 7, the operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred if all agreements were with non-related third parties.

        Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable, and equity-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Reclassifications—Certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts within operating activities in the statement of cash flows have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Accounting Period—The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with the fiscal year ending on the first Thursday after December 25, which, in certain years, results in a 53-week year, as was the case for fiscal year 2008.

        Segment Reporting—Segments are accounted for under ASC 280 Segment Reporting. Refer to Note 14.

132

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Revenue Recognition—Advertising revenue is recognized in the period in which an advertising contract is fulfilled against the contracted theatre attendees. Advertising revenue is recorded net of make-good provisions to account for delivered attendance that is less than contracted attendance. When remaining delivered attendance is provided in subsequent periods, that portion of the revenue earned is recognized in that period. Deferred revenue refers to the unearned portion of advertising contracts. All deferred revenue is classified as a current liability. Fathom Events revenue is recognized in the period in which the event is held.

        Barter Transactions—The Company enters into barter transactions that exchange advertising program time for products and services used principally for selling and marketing activities. The Company records barter transactions at the estimated fair value of the advertising exchanged based on fair value received for similar advertising from cash paying customers. Revenues for advertising barter transactions are recognized when advertising is provided, and products and services received are charged to expense when used. The Company limits the use of such barter transactions to items and services for which it would otherwise have paid cash. Any timing differences between the delivery of the bartered revenue and the use of the bartered expense products and services are recorded through deferred revenue. Revenue and expense from barter transactions for the year ended December 30, 2010 were $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively and were not material to the Company's statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009.

        Operating Costs—Advertising related operating costs primarily include personnel and other costs related to advertising fulfillment, and to a lesser degree, production costs of non-digital advertising, and payments due to unaffiliated theatre circuits under the network affiliate agreements.

        Fathom Events operating costs include equipment rental, catering, movie tickets acquired primarily from the founding members, revenue share under the amended and restated ESAs and other direct costs of the meeting or event.

        Payment to the founding members of a theatre access fee is comprised of a payment per theatre attendee and a payment per digital screen, both of which escalate over time.

        Network costs include personnel, satellite bandwidth, repairs, and other costs of maintaining and operating the digital network and preparing advertising and other content for transmission across the digital network. These costs are not specifically allocable between the advertising business and the Fathom Events business.

        Leases—The Company leases various office facilities under operating leases with terms ranging from 3 to 15 years. The Company calculates straight-line rent expense over the initial lease term and renewals that are reasonably assured.

        Advertising Costs—Costs related to advertising and other promotional expenditures are expensed as incurred. Due to the nature of the business, the Company has an insignificant amount of advertising costs included in selling and marketing costs on the statement of operations.

        Cash and Cash Equivalents—All highly liquid debt instruments and investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents and are considered available for sale securities. There are cash balances in a bank in excess of the federally insured limits or in the form of a money market demand account with a major financial institution.

        Restricted Cash—At December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, other non-current assets included restricted cash of $0.3 million, which secures a letter of credit used as a lease deposit on NCM LLC's New York office.

133

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Receivables—Bad debts are provided for using the allowance for doubtful accounts method based on historical experience and management's evaluation of outstanding receivables at the end of the period. Receivables are written off when management determines amounts are uncollectible. Trade accounts receivable are uncollateralized and represent a large number of geographically dispersed debtors. At December 30, 2010, there was two advertising agency groups through which the Company sources national advertising revenue representing approximately 17% and 21%, of the Company's outstanding gross receivable balance, respectively; however, none of the individual contracts related to the advertising agencies were more than 10% of advertising revenue. At December 31, 2009 there was one advertising agency group through which the Company sources national advertising revenue representing approximately 19% of the Company's outstanding gross receivable balance; however, none of the individual contracts related to the advertising agency were more than 10% of advertising revenue. The collectability risk is reduced by dealing with large, national advertising agencies who have strong reputations in the advertising industry and clients with stable financial positions.

        Receivables consisted of the following, in millions:

		As of December 30, 2010			As of December 31, 2009
Trade accounts		$	100.9		$	91.6
Other			2.9			1.0
Less allowance for doubtful accounts			(3.7	)		(3.6	)
	Total	$	100.1		$	89.0

        Allowance for doubtful accounts consisted of the following, in millions:

	Years Ended
	December 30, 2010			December 31, 2009			January 1, 2009
Balance at beginning of period	$	3.6		$	2.6		$	1.5
Provision for bad debt		2.3			2.4			2.3
Write-offs, net		(2.2	)		(1.4	)		(1.2	)
Balance at end of period	$	3.7		$	3.6		$	2.6

        Long-lived Assets—Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation or amortization. Refer to Note 4. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently. In general, the equipment associated with the digital network that is located within the theatre is owned by the founding members, while equipment outside the theatre is owned by the Company. The Company records depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Equipment	4 - 10 years
Computer hardware and software	3 - 5 years
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of lease term or asset life

        Software and web site development costs developed or obtained for internal use are accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-40 Internal Use Software and ASC Subtopic 350-50 Website Development Costs. The subtopics require the capitalization of certain costs incurred in developing or obtaining software for internal use. The majority of software costs and web site development costs,

134

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

which are included in equipment, are depreciated over three to five years. As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had a net book value of $9.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of capitalized software and web site development costs. Approximately $6.5 million, $6.7 million and $4.9 million was recorded for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively, in depreciation expense. For the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009 the Company recorded $1.2 million, $1.6 million and $1.2 million in research and development expense, respectively.

        Construction in progress includes costs relating to installations of equipment into affiliate theatres. Assets under construction are not depreciated until placed into service.

        The Company assesses impairment of long-lived assets pursuant with ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment annually. This includes determining if certain triggering events have occurred that could affect the value of an asset. Thus far, we have recorded no impairment charges related to long-lived assets.

        Intangible assets—Intangible assets consist of contractual rights and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Refer to Note 5. The Company records amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the intangibles, corresponding to the term of the ESAs. During the year ended December 30, 2010, NCM LLC recorded an intangible asset of $111.5 million, which is amortized over a weighted average amortization period of 26.7 years, and a second addition of $39.8 million, which is amortized over a weighted average amortization period of 27.0 years. As of December 30, 2010, the gross carrying amount of the intangible assets is $286.0 million, with a remaining weighted average amortization period of 27.0 years.

        Amounts Due to Founding Members—Amounts due to founding members in the 2010 and 2009 periods include amounts due for the theatre access fee, offset by a receivable for advertising time purchased by the founding members, as well as revenue share earned for Fathom Events plus any amounts outstanding under other contractually obligated payments. Payments to or received from the founding members against outstanding balances are made monthly.

        Amounts Due to Managing Member—Amounts due to the managing member include amounts due under the NCM LLC Operating Agreement and other contractually obligated payments. Payments to or received from the managing member against outstanding balances are made periodically.

        Income Taxes—As a limited liability company, NCM LLC's taxable income or loss is allocated to the founding members and managing member and, therefore, the only provision for income taxes included in the financial statements is for income-based state and local taxes.

        Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss—Accumulated other comprehensive loss is composed of the following (in millions):

		Year Ended December 30, 2010			Year Ended December 31, 2009			Year Ended January 1, 2009
Beginning Balance		$	(47.4	)	$	(73.5	)	$	(14.4	)
	Change in fair value on cash flow hedge		(12.2	)		24.8			(59.5	)
	Reclassifications into earnings		1.3			1.3			0.4
Ending Balance		$	(58.3	)	$	(47.4	)	$	(73.5	)

135

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        Debt Issuance Costs—In relation to the issuance of long-term debt discussed in Note 8, there is a balance of $7.3 million and $9.2 million in deferred financing costs as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. These debt issuance costs are being amortized over the terms of the underlying obligation and are included in interest expense. For each of the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009, and January 1, 2009 we amortized $1.9 million.

        Other Investment—Through March 15, 2010, the Company accounted for its investment in RMG Networks, Inc., ("RMG") (formerly Danoo, Inc.) under the equity method of accounting as required by ASC 323-10 Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures ("ASC 323-10") because we exerted "significant influence" over, but did not control, the policy and decisions of RMG, due to ownership of approximately 24% of the issued and outstanding preferred and common stock of RMG. During the first quarter of 2010, RMG sold additional common stock to other third party investors for cash, which reduced the Company's ownership in RMG resulting in cost method accounting. At December 30, 2010, the Company's ownership in RMG was approximately 19% of the issued and outstanding preferred and common stock of RMG. The investment in RMG and the Company's share of its operating results through December 30, 2010 are not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations and as a result summarized financial information is not presented. Refer to Note 11 and 12 for additional discussion .

        Share-Based Compensation—Stock-based employee compensation is accounted for at fair value under ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation. Refer to Note 9.

        Derivative Instruments—Derivative Instruments are accounted for under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. Refer to Note 13.

        Current Liabilities—For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company presented the liability for interest rate swap agreements in a single line on its Balance Sheet in other non-current liabilities. However, after further review, the Company determined that the current portion of the liability should be reclassified and presented with total current liabilities. As a result, the Company has restated its Balance Sheet to reflect this classification. The correction has no effect on total assets, total liabilities, total equity/(deficit), the Statements of Operations, or the Cash Flows from Operations.

        The following is a summary of the effects of the restatement on our Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2009:

		BALANCE SHEET As of December 31, 2009
		As Previously Reported		As Restated
Current portion of interest rate swap agreements			0.0	$	24.4
	Total current liabilities	$	90.1	$	114.5
Interest rate swap agreements		$	54.6	$	30.2
	Total non-current liabilities	$	853.9	$	829.5

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which revises the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance and changes the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element revenue arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting, modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated

136

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

across the separately identified deliverables and expands the disclosures required for multiple-element revenue arrangements. The pronouncement is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the pronouncement to have a material effect on its financial statements.

        In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which requires additional disclosures about (1) the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, (2) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (3) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and (4) the transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2010 with no impact on its financial statements.

        The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

		As of December 30, 2010			As of December 31, 2009
		(in millions)
Equipment, computer hardware and software		$	63.3		$	60.6

        For the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009, and January 1, 2009, the Company recorded depreciation of $11.4 million, $12.5 million, and $10.2 million, respectively.

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

        During the second quarter of 2010, NCM LLC issued 6,510,209 common membership units to a subsidiary of AMCE as a result of that subsidiary's acquisition of Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC (the "AMC Kerasotes Acquisition"). Such issuance provided NCM LLC with exclusive access, in accordance with the ESA, to the net new theatre screens and attendees added by AMCE to NCM LLC's network since the date of the last annual common unit adjustment through the date of the AMC Kerasotes Acquisition. As a result, NCM LLC recorded an intangible asset at the market value of the common membership units equal to $111.5 million. During the first quarter of 2010, NCM LLC issued 2,212,219 common membership units to its founding members in exchange for the rights to exclusive access, in accordance with the ESA, to net new theatre screens and projected attendees added by the founding members to NCM LLC's network during 2009. As a result, NCM LLC recorded an intangible asset at the market value of the common membership units equal to $39.8 million. During the first quarter of 2009, NCM LLC issued 2,126,104 common membership units to its founding members in exchange for the rights to exclusive access to net new theatre screens and projected attendees added by the founding members to NCM LLC's network. The Company recorded an intangible asset at the market value of the common membership units equal to $28.5 million. The Company based the fair value of the intangible assets on the market value of the common membership units issued on the date of grants, which are freely convertible into the Company's common stock.

137

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

        Pursuant to ASC 350-10 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, the intangible assets have a finite useful life and the Company amortizes the assets over the remaining useful life corresponding with the ESAs. Amortization of the asset related to Regal Consolidated Theatres will not begin until after 2011 since the Company will not have access to on-screen advertising in the Regal Consolidated Theatres until the run-out of their existing on—screen advertising agreement.

7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        Pursuant to the ESAs, the Company makes monthly theatre access fee payments to the founding members, comprised of a payment per theatre attendee and a payment per digital screen with respect to the founding member theatres included in our network. The total theatre access fee to the founding members for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009 was $52.6 million, $52.7 million and $49.8 million, respectively.

138

7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

        Under the ESAs, for the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the founding members purchased 60 seconds of on-screen advertising time (with a right to purchase up to 90 seconds) from NCM LLC to satisfy their obligations under their beverage concessionaire agreements at a specified 30 second equivalent cost per thousand ("CPM") impressions. For the year ended January 1, 2009, two of the founding members purchased 90 seconds and one purchased 60 seconds of on-screen advertising time under their beverage concessionaire agreement. The total revenue related to the beverage concessionaire agreements for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009 was $37.2 million, $36.3 million and $43.3 million, respectively. In addition, the Company made payments to the founding members for use of their screens and theatres for its Fathom Events businesses. These payments are at rates (percentage of event revenue) included in the ESAs based on the nature of the event. Payments to the founding members for these events totaled $7.3 million, $6.7 million, and $6.0 million for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively.

        Also, pursuant to the terms of the NCM LLC Operating Agreement in place since the completion of the IPO, NCM LLC is required to make mandatory distributions on a proportionate basis to its members of available cash, as defined in the NCM LLC Operating Agreement, on a quarterly basis in arrears. Distributions for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009, and January 1, 2009 are as follows (in millions):

	2010		2009		2008
AMC	$	28.8	$	25.8	$	24.3
Cinemark		24.0		20.8		18.5

NCM, Inc.		71.0		57.8		55.6
Total	$	156.1	$	139.3	$	131.1

        The available cash payment by NCM LLC to its founding members for the quarter ended December 30, 2010 of $25.7 million was included in amounts due to founding members at December 30, 2010 and will be made in the first quarter of 2011. The available cash payment by NCM LLC to its managing member for the quarter ended December 30, 2010 of $24.1 million was included in amounts due to managing member as of December 30, 2010 and will be made in the first quarter of 2011.

        On January 26, 2006, AMC acquired the Loews Cineplex Entertainment Inc. ("AMC Loews") theatre circuit. The Loews screen integration agreement, effective as of January 5, 2007 and amended and restated as of February 13, 2007, between NCM LLC and AMC, committed AMC to cause substantially all of the theatres it acquired as part of the Loews theatre circuit to be included in the NCM digital network in accordance with the ESAs on June 1, 2008. In accordance with the Loews screen integration agreement, prior to June 1, 2008 AMC paid the Company amounts based on an agreed-upon calculation to reflect cash amounts that approximated what NCM LLC would have generated if the Company sold on-screen advertising in the Loews theatre chain on an exclusive basis. These AMC Loews payments were made on a quarterly basis in arrears through May 31, 2008, with the exception of Star Theatres, which were paid through February 2009 in accordance with certain run-out provisions. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, the AMC Loews payment was $0.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The AMC Loews payment was recorded directly to NCM LLC's members' equity account.

139

7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

        On April 30, 2008, Regal acquired Consolidated Theatres and NCM issued common membership units to Regal upon the closing of its acquisition in exchange for the right to exclusive access to the theatres. The Consolidated Theatres had a pre-existing advertising agreement and, as a result, Regal must make "integration" payments pursuant to the ESAs on a quarterly basis in arrears through mid-2011 in accordance with certain run-out provisions. For the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, the Consolidated Theatres payment was $3.9 million, $3.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively and represents a cash element of the consideration received for the common membership units issued. The Consolidated Theatres payment of $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 30, 2010 was included in amounts due from founding members at December 30, 2010 and will be received in the first quarter of 2011.

        In connection with AMC's acquisition of Kerasotes, AMC reimbursed NCM LLC approximately $3.0 million for the net book value of NCM LLC capital expenditures invested in digital network technology within the acquired Kerasotes theatres prior to the acquisition date.

        Amounts due to founding members at December 30, 2010 were comprised of the following (in millions):

Common Unit Membership Redemption

        The NCM LLC Operating Agreement provides a redemption right of the founding members to exchange common membership units of NCM LLC for shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis, or at the Company's option, a cash payment equal to the market price of one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. During the third quarter of 2010, AMC and Regal exercised the redemption right of an aggregate 10,955,471 common membership units, whereby AMC and Regal surrendered 6,655,193 and 4,300,278 common membership units to NCM LLC for cancellation, respectively.

NCM LLC then distributed the shares of common stock to AMC and Regal to complete the redemptions. Such redemptions took place immediately prior to the closing of the underwritten public offering and the subsequent closing of the overallotment option; in each case the NCM, Inc. common stock was sold at a price to the public of $16.00 per share by AMC and Regal. NCM, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from the sale of its common stock by AMC and Regal. Pursuant to ASC 810-10-45, the Company accounted for the change in its ownership interest in NCM LLC as an equity transaction and no gain or loss was recognized in net income.

8. BORROWINGS

        On February 13, 2007, concurrently with the closing of the IPO of NCM, Inc., NCM LLC entered into a senior secured credit facility with a group of lenders. The facility consists of a six-year $80.0 million revolving credit facility and an eight-year, $725.0 million term loan facility. The revolving credit facility portion is available, subject to certain conditions, for general corporate purposes of the Company in the ordinary course of business and for other transactions permitted under the credit agreement, and a portion is available for letters of credit.

        The outstanding balance of the term loan facility at December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $725.0 million. The outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility at December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $50.0 million and $74.0 million, respectively. As of December 30, 2010, the effective rate on the term loan was 5.61% including the effect of the interest rate swaps (both those accounted for as hedges and those that are not). The interest rate swaps hedged $550.0 million of the $725.0 million term loan at a fixed interest rate of 6.734% while the unhedged portion was at an interest rate of 2.06%. The weighted-average interest rate on the unhedged revolver was 2.01%. Commencing with the fourth fiscal quarter in fiscal year 2009, the applicable margin for the revolving credit facility is determined quarterly and is subject to adjustment based upon a net senior secured leverage ratio for NCM LLC and its subsidiaries (the ratio of secured funded debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, over a non-GAAP measure defined in the credit agreement). The senior secured credit facility also contains a number of covenants and financial ratio requirements, with which the Company was in compliance at December 30, 2010, including the net senior secured leverage ratio. There are no distribution restrictions as long as the Company is in compliance with its debt covenants. As of December 30, 2010, its net senior secured leverage ratio was 3.5 times the covenant. The debt covenants also require 50% of the term loan, or $362.5 million to be hedged at a fixed rate. As of December 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $550 million or 76% hedged. Of the $550.0 million that is hedged, $137.5 million was transferred from Lehman Brothers Special Financing ("LBSF") to Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays") in February 2010. See Note 13 for an additional discussion of the interest rate swaps.

        NCM LLC, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") and Barclays entered into an agreement in March 2010 whereby Lehman resigned its agency function and restructured its outstanding $14.0 million revolving credit loan. NCM LLC and the remaining revolving credit lenders consented to the appointment of Barclays as successor administrative agent and swing line lender under the credit agreement. Additionally, the revolving credit commitments of Lehman were reduced to zero and the aggregate revolving credit commitments were reduced to $66.0 million. The $14.0 million outstanding principal of the revolving credit loans held by Lehman will not be repaid in connection with any future prepayments of revolving credit loans, but rather Lehman's share of the revolving credit facility will be

paid in full by NCM LLC, along with any accrued and unpaid fees and interest, on the revolving credit termination date, February 13, 2013.

        On March 19, 2009, the Company gave an $8.5 million note payable to Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch ("Credit Suisse") with no stated interest to settle the $10.0 million contingent put obligation and to acquire the $20.7 million outstanding principal balance of debt of IdeaCast, Inc. ("IdeaCast") (together with all accrued interest and other lender costs required to be reimbursed by IdeaCast). Quarterly payments to Credit Suisse began on April 15, 2009 and will continue through January 15, 2011. At issuance the Company recorded the note at a present value of $7.0 million. At December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $1.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of the balance was recorded in current liabilities. Interest on the note is accreted at the Company's estimated incremental cost of debt based on then current market indicators over the term of the loan to interest expense. The amount of interest expense recognized on the note for the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Future Maturities of Borrowings

        The scheduled annual maturities on the credit facility for the next five years as of December 30, 2010 are as follows (in millions):

2011	$	1.2

9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

        At the date of the IPO, the Company adopted the NCM, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. As of December 30, 2010, there were 7,076,000 shares of common stock available for issuance or delivery under the Equity Incentive Plan of which 1,690,186 remain available for grants as of December 30, 2010. Options awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of NCM, Inc. common stock on the date of the grant. Upon vesting of the awards, NCM LLC will issue common membership units to the Company equal to the number of shares of the Company's common stock represented by such awards. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate, and therefore only recognizes stock-based compensation cost for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award. Options and non-vested restricted stock vest annually over a three or five-year period and options have either 10-year or 15-year contractual terms. A forfeiture rate of 5% was estimated to reflect the potential separation of employees.

        The recognized expense, including equity based compensation costs of NCM, Inc. employees, is included in the operating results of NCM LLC. The Company recognized $7.0 million, $3.1 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively, of share-based compensation expense for these options and $0.1 million were capitalized during each of the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively. As of December 30, 2010, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options was approximately $9.1 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.70 years.

9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

        The weighted average grant date fair value of granted options was $4.84, $2.17 and $3.77 for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the year was $2.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009, and January 1, 2009, respectively. During the year ended December 30, 2010 there was $4.9 million of cash received on options exercised and an immaterial amount for the year December 31, 2009. The total fair value of awards vested during the years ended December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $3.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

        The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires that the Company make estimates of various factors. The following assumptions were used in the valuation of the options:

	Fiscal 2010	Fiscal 2009	Fiscal 2008
Expected life of options	6.0 years	6.5 years	6.5 years
Risk free interest rate	1.38% to 3.76%	2.23% to 3.70%	3.74% to 4.09%
Expected volatility	39%	30%	30%
Dividend yield	3.8% to 4.0%	3%	3%

        Activity in the Equity Incentive Plan, as converted, is as follows:

Additionally the accrued cash dividends for the 2009 and 2010 grants are subject to forfeiture during the restricted period. The shares are also subject to the terms and provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan. Non-vested stock awards granted in 2010 include performance vesting conditions, which permit vesting to the extent that NCM, Inc. achieves specified non-GAAP targets at the end of the three-year period. Non-vested stock granted to non-employee directors vest after one year. Compensation cost is valued based on the market price on the grant date and is expensed over the vesting period.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal actions

        The Company is subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes such claims will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Operating Commitments

        The Company leases office facilities for its headquarters in Centennial, Colorado and also in various cities for its sales and marketing personnel as sales offices. The Company has no capital lease obligations. Total lease expense for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, was $2.2 million, $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Contingent Put Obligation

        On April 29, 2008, NCM LLC, IdeaCast, the IdeaCast lender and certain of its stockholders agreed to a financial restructuring of IdeaCast. Among other things, the restructuring resulted in the lender being granted an option to "put," or require NCM LLC to purchase, up to $10 million of the funded convertible debt at par, on or after December 31, 2010 through March 31, 2011. The put was accounted for under ASC 460-10 Guarantees. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined that the initial investment and call right in IdeaCast were other-than-temporarily impaired due to IdeaCast's defaults on its senior debt and liquidity issues and that the put obligation was probable. The Company estimated a liability at January 1, 2009 of $4.5 million, which represented the excess of the estimated probable loss on the put (net of estimated recoveries from the net assets of IdeaCast that serve as collateral for the convertible debt) obligation over the unamortized ASC 460-10 liability. The total amount of the impairment and related loss recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $11.5 million.

        On March 19, 2009, NCM LLC, IdeaCast and IdeaCast's lender agreed to certain transactions with respect to the IdeaCast Credit Agreement. Among other things, these agreements resulted in (i) the termination of the Put and the Call; (ii) the transfer, sale and assignment by IdeaCast's lender to NCM LLC of all of its right, title and interest under the Credit Agreement, including without limitation the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement; (iii) the resignation of IdeaCast's lender, and the appointment of NCM LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Credit Agreement; and (iv) the delivery by NCM LLC to IdeaCast's lender of a non-interest bearing promissory note in

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

the amount of $8.5 million payable through January 2011. On June 16, 2009, NCM LLC's interest in the Credit Agreement was assigned to NCM Out-Of-Home, LLC ("OOH"), which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCM LLC. OOH was also appointed as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Credit Agreement. On June 16, 2009, OOH, as IdeaCast's senior secured lender, foreclosed on substantially all of the assets of IdeaCast, consisting of certain tangible and intangible assets (primarily equipment, business processes and contracts with health clubs and programming partners). The assets were valued at approximately $8.2 million. On June 29, 2009, NCM LLC transferred its ownership interest in OOH to RMG, a digital advertising company, in exchange for approximately 24% of the equity (excluding out-of-the-money warrants) of RMG on a fully diluted basis through a combination of convertible preferred stock, common stock and common stock warrants (refer to Note 2—Other Investment). The Company's investment in RMG was valued at the fair value of the assets contributed.

Minimum Revenue Guarantees

        As part of the network affiliate agreements entered in the ordinary course of business under which the Company sells advertising for display in various theatre chains other than those of the founding members of NCM LLC, the Company has agreed to certain minimum revenue guarantees. If an affiliate achieves the attendance set forth in their respective agreement, the Company has guaranteed minimum revenue for the network affiliate per attendee if such amount paid under the revenue share arrangement is less than its guaranteed amount. The amount and term varies for each network affiliate, but initial terms range from two to five years, prior to any renewal periods. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make pursuant to the minimum revenue guarantees is $14.0 million over the remaining terms of the network affiliate agreements. As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company had no liabilities recorded for these obligations as such guarantees are less than the expected share of revenue paid to the affiliate.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and other notes payable as reported in the Company's balance sheets approximate their fair value due to their short maturity. The carrying amount of the revolving credit facility is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value due to its floating-rate terms. The carrying amounts and fair values of interest rate swap agreements are the same since the Company accounts for these instruments at fair value. The Company has estimated the fair value of its term loan based on an average of three non-binding broker quotes and the Company's analysis to be $713.3 million and $688.8 million at December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The carrying value of the term loan was $725.0 million as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

        The fair value of the investment in RMG networks has not been estimated at December 30, 2010 as there were no monetary equity events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment, and as it is not practicable to do so because RMG is not a publicly traded company. The carrying amount of the Company's investment was $6.7 million and $7.4 million as of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Refer to Note 2—Other Investment.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements—Refer to Note 13.

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

        NCM LLC has interest rate swap agreements with four counterparties that, at their inception, qualified for and were designated as cash flow hedges against interest rate exposure on $550.0 million of the variable rate debt obligations under the senior secured credit facility. The interest rate swap agreements have the effect of converting a portion of the Company's variable rate debt to a fixed rate of 6.734%. All interest rate swaps were entered into for risk management purposes. The Company has no derivatives for other purposes.

        Effective February 8, 2010, NCM LLC entered into a novation agreement with LBSF and Barclays whereby LBSF transferred to Barclays all the rights, liabilities, duties and obligations of NCM LLC's interest rate swap agreement with LBSF with identical terms. NCM LLC accepted Barclays as its sole counterparty with respect to the new agreement. The term runs until February 13, 2015, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Subject to the terms of the new agreement, NCM LLC or Barclays will make payments at specified intervals based on the variance between LIBOR and a fixed rate of 4.984% on a notional amount of $137.5 million. NCM LLC effectively pays a rate of 6.734% on this notional amount inclusive of the 1.75% margin currently required by NCM LLC's credit agreement. The agreement with Barclays is secured by the assets of NCM LLC on a pari passu basis with the credit agreement and the other interest rates swaps that were entered into by NCM LLC. In consideration of LBSF entering into the transfer, NCM LLC agreed to pay to LBSF the full amount of interest rate swap payments withheld since LBSF's default, aggregating $7.0 million, and an immaterial amount of penalty interest.

        Cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued on September 15, 2008 due to the event of default created by the bankruptcy of Lehman and the inability of the Company to continue to demonstrate the swap would be effective. The Company did not elect cash flow hedge accounting and the interest rate swap with Barclays is recorded at fair value with any change in the fair value recorded in the statement of operations. There was a $4.0 million increase, $8.3 million decrease and $13.8 million increase in the fair value of the liability for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively, which the Company recorded as a component of interest expense and other, net.

13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

        In accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the net derivative loss as of September 14, 2008 related to the discontinued cash flow hedge with LBSF shall continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. Accordingly, the net derivative loss is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the interest rate swap through February 13, 2015. The amount amortized during the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009 were $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The Company estimates approximately $1.3 million will be amortized to interest expense and other, net in the next 12 months.

        Both at inception and on an on-going basis the Company performs an effectiveness test using the hypothetical derivative method. The fair values of the interest rate swaps with the counterparties other than Barclays (representing notional amounts of $412.5 million associated with a like amount of the variable rate debt) are recorded on the Company's balance sheet as a liability with the change in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income since the instruments were determined to be perfectly effective at December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. There were no amounts reclassified into current earnings due to ineffectiveness during the periods presented other than as described herein.

        The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap is based on dealer quotes, and represents an estimate of the amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration various factors, including current interest rates and the forward yield curve for 3-month LIBOR.

        As of December 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the estimated fair value and line item caption of derivative instruments recorded were as follows (in millions):

		Liability Derivatives
		As of December 30, 2010			As of December 31, 2009
		Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges:

14. SEGMENT REPORTING

        Advertising is the principal business activity of the Company and is the Company's reportable segment under the requirements of ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Advertising revenue accounts for 88.7%, 88.0% and 89.4%, of revenue for the years ended December 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2009, respectively. Fathom Consumer Events and Fathom Business Events are operating segments under ASC 280, but do not meet the quantitative thresholds for segment reporting. The following table presents revenues less directly identifiable expenses to arrive at operating income net of direct expenses for the advertising reportable segment, the combined Fathom Events operating segments, and network, administrative and unallocated costs. Management does not evaluate its segments on a fully allocated cost basis. Therefore, the measure of segment operating income net of direct expenses shown below is not prepared on the same basis as operating income in the statement of operations and the results below are not indicative of what segment results of operations would have been had it been operated on a fully allocated cost basis. Management cautions that it would be inappropriate to assume that unallocated operating costs are incurred proportional to segment revenue or any directly identifiable segment expenses. Unallocated operating costs consist primarily of network costs, general and administrative costs and other unallocated costs including depreciation and

amortization. Management does not track segment assets and, therefore, segment asset information is not presented.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
