PRESS RELEASE

Stowmarket’s Regal Theatre has enjoyed a record breaking January. January 2011 now hold the record for the most number of cinema admission in a month and a record smashing 2400 people visited in a single week between 21st – 27th January, the record formally held by Mamma Mia in July 2008. Regal Manager David Marsh said: “Admissions have been growing for a while now, but The King’s Speech has been a fantastic film for us and with it’s help we have welcomed a lot of people to the back to the Regal, I spoke to one lady, who hadn’t been to the Cinema since 1952, when she saw The Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn classic The African Queen!” The Regal first opened in 1936 and will be celebrating it 75th birthday later this year.
