KNOXVILLE, Tenn., March 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Regal
Entertainment Group, a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and
operating the largest theatre circuit in the United States, today announces the sellout of
the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate
Ticket. All 1,000 tickets were purchased in just over 24
hours after they were made available, making it the fastest sellout
of a Regal Ultimate Ticket to date. Batman v Superman:
Dawn of Justice, directed by Zack
Snyder and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, will be
released in theatres on March 25.
Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked,
Gotham's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's
most revered, modern-day savior – while the world wrestles with
what sort of hero it really needs. With Batman and Superman at war
with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in
greater danger than it's ever known before.
"Fans fervently purchased these Ultimate Tickets at a record
pace," said Ken Thewes, Chief Marketing Officer at Regal
Entertainment Group. "The appetite for Batman v Superman:
Dawn of Justice has been incredible, and we at Regal are proud
to satisfy those with the Ultimate Ticket."
The Regal Ultimate Ticket can be used to see Batman v
Superman: Dawn of Justice every single day while the movie
is in theatres. Regal Crown Club members who purchased
this collectible memorabilia will receive 10,000 credits at the end
of the promotion period.
