May 5, 2010

Board of Directors
Regal Cinemas Corporation
c/o Regal Entertainment Group
7132 Regal Lane
Knoxville, Tennessee 37918

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as special local counsel to Regal Cinemas Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Regal"), solely for the purpose of delivering this opinion in connection with the proposed issuance by R.C. Cobb, Inc., an Alabama corporation and an indirect subsidiary of Regal ("Alabama Guarantor"), of a guarantee (the "Guarantee") of up to $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Regal's 8.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes") which are to be issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (as defined below), as supplemented by the Indenture Supplement (as defined below) and pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement"), filed by Regal with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

        In connection with the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied on originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of the following:

    (a)
    the Indenture dated July 15, 2009 (the "Indenture") by and among Regal, the Alabama Guarantor, the other guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee,

    (b)
    the form of Indenture Supplement (the "Indenture Supplement" and, together with the Indenture, the "Amended Indenture"), by and among Regal, the Alabama Guarantor, the other guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee,

    (c)
    the form of the Notes,

    (d)
    the Registration Statement, and

    (e)
    the form of the Guarantee.

        We have also examined and relied on such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of Regal and the Alabama Guarantor as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

        In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We also have assumed that the form and content of all documents submitted to us as unexecuted drafts, including, without limitation, the Indenture Supplement, do not differ in any respect relevant to this opinion from the form and content of such documents as executed and delivered. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied with your consent and without further investigation upon certificates or statements of government officials, upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of Regal and the Alabama Guarantor including, without limitation, that certain Certificate of Secretary of Regal and the Guarantors dated May 5, 2010, and have assumed that such certificates and statements were true, correct and complete as of the date made and remain true, correct and complete through the date hereof.


        In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the following with respect to all the transactions and documents referred to herein:

              (i)  All the parties to such documents other than the Alabama Guarantor are duly organized and validly existing and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform their obligations under such documents.

             (ii)  All such documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto other than the Alabama Guarantor, have been duly delivered by the Alabama Guarantor, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of all parties thereto other than the Alabama Guarantor.

            (iv)  The Alabama Guarantor has received adequate consideration and value in exchange for incurring the obligations and liabilities imposed on it by or in connection with the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement, including, without limitation, the obligation to issue the Guarantee.

        Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

            1.     The Alabama Guarantor is a corporation validly existing and in good standing in the State of Alabama. In giving this opinion we have relied solely on a certificate of the Alabama Secretary of State dated May 4, 2010, and a certificate of the Alabama Department of Revenue dated May 4, 2010, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A-2, and we have not made any independent investigation with respect thereto.

            2.     The execution, delivery and performance by the Alabama Guarantor of the Indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Alabama Guarantor. The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Alabama Guarantor.

            3.     The execution, delivery and performance by the Alabama Guarantor of the Indenture Supplement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Alabama Guarantor.

            4.     The execution, delivery and performance of the Guarantee by the Alabama Guarantor has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Alabama Guarantor.

        The foregoing opinions are subject to the following limitations, qualifications, comments and exceptions:

            (a)   We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement or the Guarantee, any provisions of such documents, or any other agreement by or against any person.

            (b)   We express no opinion as to (i) the existence, adequacy, payment or receipt of consideration or value or (ii) the title to any property of the Alabama Guarantor.

            (c)   We express no opinion with respect to whether the execution, delivery and performance of any of the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement or the Guarantee violates, conflicts with or causes a default under, or will violate, conflict with or cause a default under, the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Alabama Guarantor is a party or is subject or by which it or any of its property is bound.

            (d)   We express no opinion as to any matters regarding state or federal tax law and have not considered and express no opinion regarding any federal or state securities or blue sky laws or regulations.

            (e)   We call to your attention the fact that any party which exercises in Alabama any of the rights or remedies provided in the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement, the Guarantee or any other agreement or instrument may be required to qualify or register to do business in the State of Alabama before exercising such rights or remedies.

        The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of general application of the State of Alabama, and we do not express any opinion as to federal law or the laws of any other state or jurisdiction, or to any local laws, ordinances or rules of any municipality, county or other political subdivision of the State of Alabama.
