I’m so excited! Regal is bringing back a bunch of amazing classic movies in January! They’re rereleasing films like the original Spider-Man from 2002, Christopher Nolan’s Following, and even the timeless Wizard of Oz from 1939, plus a whole lot more. It’s going to be a great month for movie fans!
Regal Cinemas is launching a new movie series called “Back to the Beginning” in January 2026. Throughout the month, they’ll be showing a selection of films that tell origin stories and highlight iconic firsts, celebrating the start of a new year.
According to Brooks LeBoeuf, a Senior Vice President at Regal, their ‘Back to the Beginning’ program showcases classic films featuring beloved characters and the early work of famous directors. The series highlights a variety of genres – from action and adventure to fantasy and crime – bringing these once-hidden gems and the filmmakers behind them back to movie theaters.
