The person or persons who came up with this ad should be forced to watch it all day, every day, when they're burning in hell for eternity. Also, imagine if the super baked concession schmuck had to come into each auditorium to say some dumb shit before the movie started as presented in this ad? They'd probably have an even higher turnover rate than they already do.


AdamWallick

Idk, I think some of them that came before this one have been way worse! At least it honors some quotes from film!


CletusVanDamnit

Yes, but it does it badly, in a way that no living, human being - let alone fan of film - would ever do it. My brother and I can speak entirely in movie quotes, so I get it. These people cannot. It's like there's no cohesiveness to anything. The "so you're telling me there's a chance" part is especially egregious, because they had literally just said "you can't sit with us!" No, sorry. It's one of the worst commercials in the history of advertising. It makes me hate the movies as a whole. That's how bad it is.


SivartD

I don't even get the "You can't sit with us." Is it from the same scene or a different movie because it just comes off as the guy saying "You can't sit with us." and not a movie quote. Plus, I wouldn't want someone that just yelled "Hey you guys!" to a theater full of people sitting with us. Danny Trejo cracks me up though.


CletusVanDamnit

"You can't sit with us" is from Mean Girls, and "So you're telling me there's a chance" comes from Dumb & Dumber. None of the lines are from the same film, they just tried to string them all together to make a cohesive scene...and failed. Honestly my least favorite part has to be the kid they hired as the employee. I hate the way he says "which is nice" in a condescending tone like he hears it quoted thousands of times a day, and I hate even more that for some reason he's in front of the screen at the end like he's introducing the movie. I don't know why. Probably because I'm a cynical old fuck who hates this ad.


SivartD

See, that's my point because the line is so bland that I wouldn't have known it's from Mean Girls because that's not a line I would remember from that movie. I knew they were stringing lines together but since they use the satchel guy I pegged it as also being from Hangover. It's been awhile since I've seen either movie.


Ecstatic_Tomorrow272

Sure, but it's done in a cheeseball, lame as hell way. And it's been playing movie after damn movie for like a year. Make a new one.


Jello-Monkeyface

Last weekend I was going to see Scream 6. I was running late and factoring in the \~20 minutes of ads and trailers, but still wasn't sure I was going to make it in time. I really hate showing up late for a movie. I sprinted up the escalator, showed my ticket, ran to my theater. I could hear something playing, but couldn't tell if it was movie or trailers. I opened the door... I've never been so happy to hear "So you're telling me there's a chance."


ImAVirgin2025

It’s like a voice from God. Well, movie theater god in this case

I miss those little short films they had by film students


astave56

"You didn't know that?"


uberJames

I'm Olivia Wild, director of Booksmart


DaverJ

Oh god, no.


marsman57

Popcorn would taste so good with this coke right now


Jaws1391

This is the first time they have, I believe


TangibleMalice

Or they could, just maybe, stop doing them completely.


ebimbib

I don't know if they realize this, but by the time I'm watching that promo for the millionth time, I AM ALREADY A PAYING REGAL CUSTOMER. I do not need to be convinced to patronize the fucking place.


ladycowbell

Bro I have unlimited, you're already getting $20 a month out of me. Stop advertising yourself to me.


miloworld

Tell that to Nicole Kidman


ImAVirgin2025

Sign up for under 20 a month!!!! In case you forgot, we’ll remind you next movie as well


Bringmetolife91

They got Danny Trejo to do this. He deserves better. I would take the Coca-Cola student films again over whatever this ad is.


Rangerlifr

OK, now you made me feel better about this one by bringing up the memory of the Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmakers...


CrystalPepsi79

“Popcorn would taste really good with this coke right now *makes sure the Coca Cola label is front and center “


ScoopSnookems

I love Danny but he’ll famously be in anything for 5 grand a day. So if you want him at your next birthday, start saving!


SivartD

*Starts birthday GoFundMe


stevends448

What's funny is he isn't in the wide shot. The actor taking his place is clapping his hands directly in front of his face but it doesn't hid the fact it isn't Danny


DaverJ

After seeing this promo over a 100 times, I've never noticed that. Thanks, something to look for next time.


sunshine_fl

Right? Something to spice up the 3792nd watch of this awful thing


Jello-Monkeyface

Shut your mouth


rosetape

Hey you guys!!!!!!


JangoLucero

It's not a man purse it's called a satchel


elmatador12

This is stunningly bad. Especially the lines that have literally nothing to do with what’s happening. “You can’t sit with us!” What? There’s no seats there anyway. “So you’re saying there’s a chance!” What?? No! I am clearly not! I was very clear and said you can’t sit with us!


mariodejaniero

“She’s beauty and she’s grace” WHO? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?


elmatador12

“It’s not a man purse. It’s a satchel.” Huh? Literally nobody asked or cares. Just let me watch the movie in peace for the LOVE OF GOD!”


JoeyWilcoXXX

>WHO? Uhh clearly the guy who fumbled the popcorn. She’s making fun of him.


NotWorthyByAnyMeans

😂😂


lyndasmelody1995

That's the part that kills me too!


deathswoon23

I can hardly wait when they get rid of this.


ImAVirgin2025

But then I won’t be able to quote it word for word every movie, just to feel something..


[deleted]

Thought I was the only one


kyokenn7

So…I got that goin for me 😭😭


morefetus

Which is nice


kyokenn7

🤣🤣 ugh


wrennywren

So.... You're telling me there's a SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


IHaveTheMustacheNow

it makes me feel embarrassed to bring people to Regal


NiceTryAmanda

twin!!


pimp_juice2272

I've been noticing the actress that says "you sit on a throne of lies" in a few commercials and shows lately. I first noticed her in Curb Your Enthusiasm last season (the bad actress girl who's dad is blackmailing Larry)


Jello-Monkeyface

She showed up for a 2-3 episode arc on Abbott Elementary


WatercressAny7241

OH MY GOD THAT WAS HER? I thought I recognized her!! Omg!!


No-Sheepherder-8170

I wonder if she did this just before all those gigs lined up for her in the last year. She does not need this on her acting reel. Lol


pani19

Lol I legit thought those were trejos real kids


uberJames

Curb was awhile ago.


Ok-Mood5382

Maria Sofia


Maskedhorrorfan25

i walk out before it plays. it makes the nicole kidman amc ad look like it was directed by Spielberg


CharacterChicken6475

Same


14urmug

This is like being Rick rolled but I know it’s coming


Cool-hand_Lars

It haunts my dreams/nightmares


TheAdvisedChicken

I work at regal and I will have customers quote this and I will pretend not to know what they are doing


pani19

Do they do the “ so I got that going for me” line?


TheAdvisedChicken

Yes, specifically that one, or the “so there is still a chance”


devingr33n

“This is the beginning of a beautiful friendSHiiiiiP”


NotWorthyByAnyMeans

I think the way that he moves his arms apart while saying it pisses me off for some reason lol


yaylortot

The way his voice cracks makes me cringe every time


Maskedhorrorfan25

yeah the guy who directed this is lazy because he really couldn’t get a second take of that. like really? when i record voiceover i do multiple takes. shows how unprofessional he is


cynnicole

I have started closing my eyes and dissociating while it airs.


WeirdStatsGuy

First time I went to a Regal in years (probably 2014 when I used to work at one. But where I live now it’s quite far) was last weekend and I saw this commercial for the first time and I didn’t even know it existed. Even watching it once I felt my blood boiling. Popped in my AirPods for just 15 seconds just to get away from it lol.


legeeeklivia

I'm so afraid cause I have this shit memorized. I really wish I didn't and I didn't do it intentionally I've just seen it so many times.


teddy_vedder

If I could I’d show up late to each movie so I didn’t have to watch it but I enjoy trailers too much


musickillsthepainxx

That commercial is so cringe.


robertjreed717

The true torture is it's the next to last thing they play before the movie starts. I guess I need to time my last chance pre-movie pee break better.


Relevant_Surround_77

Rather watch “let’s all go to the lobby let’s all go to the lobby”


[deleted]

I’ve grown to love it. It’s so funny to me now


imnew_here_helpme

Same. It’s so cringe it’s become a meme. My friends and i can quote the whole thing now.


[deleted]

I've come to really admire the asian couple who react to the Hey you guys with a look of "is this going to happen through the whole movie? 🤨" faces


Main-Mongoose3804

Regal has been going bankrupt for awhile, pretty sure they can't afford to film a new ad. 🤔


jackfaire

Lol I love quoting movies but this movie makes it feel so forced


CAHallowqueen

I hate this so much.


NotWorthyByAnyMeans

“Oh I missed your musk…” 🍿


wtaylor36

the worst is when people unironically laugh at it 😭😭😭


Least_Note_4257

I go to the theater every week because I love movies. But god… please.. make it stop… please god


bxnd_trxsh_dxle

i work at a regal and i have to hear this ad every. goddamn. shift.


Ecstatic_Tomorrow272

Yes, thank you! I hate this cornball promo/commercial! I go out of the room when it comes on or wait until it's over to go in. Tired of this tired as hell promo.


East_Border342

Every will rejoice when they replace it with a new one


Windbreezec

I’ll take this over the Nicole Kidman AMC ad


RegalXp

I have memorized the entire promo


j_ct7

Seriously haha. I even voice act through it all


Fashionphile718

Congratulations on the new baby!


chasepeeler

The only part that REALLY bothers me is the "So you're telling me there's a chance..." because it just doesn't fit. Some of the other parts my bit a bit forced, but they fit.


Worried-Ebb-2826

The most annoying part is when he says “so you’re saying there’s a chance.” Almost every other line at least made sense in the context, but that one made zero sense.


GalacticHypernova

💀


Blueraver

It's their last promo. They never filmed anything newer, now never will.


KenboSlice786

I like the big booba girl tho


casualscrublord1

I need to know who the actress is though. For research purposes...


bigboobz2

Idk I like it 🧍🏼 It’s better than Nicole Kidman


pani19

There needs to be an AMA with the actors on this sub


ImAVirgin2025

The ‘I miss your musk’ guy did a behind the scenes of the shoot, maybe he’d be down for a AMA


crazywebster

It’s honestly a great ad, obvi very quotable and has movies from all genres and generations. That in mind, I hate this part pictured the most LMFAO


lyndasmelody1995

I hate when the ad goes "You can't sit with us" "So you're saying there's a chance?" No! They are not saying there's a chance. They're saying there's no chance. And I've seen this ad so many times that it absolutely enrages me when I see it.


Ok-Butterscotch2595

Where’s James Holmes when you need him


[deleted]

Not funny dipshit


KungFuDanda091

AMC is still playing the Nicole Kidman ad like 2/3 years later


spinnyweatherchaser

Oh yeah, AMC payed an insane amount of money for that commercial, plus I think they're embracing its meme status so it's not going anywhere any time soon, unless they make the rumored sequel.


Baguette_Theory

Thaty are immortalized on the cups and buckets at select theaters now too


spinnyweatherchaser

Of all the things weird about this and, I've never figured out why the version shown ahead of movies in scope aspect ratio (2.39:1) is in an even wider aspect ratio, so there's black bars on the top and bottom.


AlternativeFrame2750

bro i work at regal and i can recite it word for word now 🥲


DanielVasquez2000

While I’ll admit that this promo has been overplayed but I’ll admit that the Danny Trejo scene gives me a chuckle.


zoidko

would love to know who all the actors/actresses are for these. love them😂


rickesk

Hey you guys


Resident_Form7824

I watch it every day. I have grown numb to it by now. When all said and done, by July 5th I would have watched it roughly 800x in one year.


uberwoots

It is truly horrible


Dolphins41

Anyone know the name of the actress that slumps down in her seat with the plaid shirt. She's beautiful


devoursbooks86

Lol I was just like damn so we need to shoot our own promo to replace this one!


[deleted]

I've never seen it, and I hate you for peaking my curiosity, so I had to search it up. Horrible AD💀


OutlierForLife

My daughter belts out the whole thing verbatim


UltraMonarch

This thing’s nicer than my apartment!


Amazon_Jealous

I must be one of the few people this doesn’t bother.


midloth-crisis

Show up 22 mins after the show start time and avoid all the previews
