Regal moviegoers who come to view the new film can choose to upgrade to a Regal Super Ticket either before or after enjoying Peter Jackson’s latest creation.
“Regal truly is your ‘Hobbit Headquarters.’ And for all of our guests who have a great time enjoying the new film, the experience doesn’t have to end when you leave our theatre,” said Ken Thewes, chief marketing officer for Regal Entertainment Group.

Regal is also accommodating moviegoers who want to view the film in High Frame Rate (HFR). Director Peter Jackson shot the movie at 48 frames-per-second as opposed to the standard 24 frames-per-second.
HFR technology is designed to add clarity and a smoother presentation of the image. Guests can find HFR presentations clearly marked on Fandango.com when choosing a showtime and securing tickets.
