Regal Entertainment Group Presents Exclusive Release of All's Faire In Love

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sep 26, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Regal Entertainment Group RGC, a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest theater circuit in the United States, is proud to partner with Hannover House and Patriot Pictures to offer moviegoers the opportunity to see the exclusive release of All's Faire In Love beginning Friday, October 28, 2011.

Set in the world of Renaissance Faires, All's Faire in Love is a film reminiscent of such successful films as Shakespeare In Love and The Princess Bride. The tale begins when college football star Will (Owen Benjamin) arrives at "All's Faire in Love... Renaissance Faire" to work off his class non-attendance obligation to Prof. Shockworthy (Cedric the Entertainer) by joining the rag-tag peasants of the Greenbriar Theater Troupe.

The same is true for Kate (Christina Ricci), a performer who left her investment banking opportunities to join her cousin Jo (Louise Griffiths) to blossom on stage and in Will's heart. Will and Kate get the chance to prove themselves when the Faire's chief benefactress creates the ultimate competition to determine who will be a "Royal" and who a "Common Peasant" ...threatening to hand over the Troupe's most coveted Shakespearean stage at the Faire - to the treacherous and devious Troupe of Royal lead by Rank (Chris Wylde). Will and Kate must overcome all manner of opposition and treachery to prove their worth, win the day, and perhaps... together ...fall in love.

"Regal is excited to partner with Hannover House and Patriot Pictures on the exclusive release of All's Faire In Love," stated Greg Dunn, President and COO of Regal Entertainment Group. "This film has been a strong performer on the film festival circuit and we are proud to offer our guests the exclusive opportunity to see this great comedy on the big screen."

"This is an exciting opportunity for all parties," said Eric Parkinson, CEO of Hannover House and Target Development Group, Inc. "The exclusive distribution relationship with Regal will enable us to maximize our marketing efforts and create a greater overall visibility of the film."

In addition to the support from Regal, Hannover House will implement a full-scale theatrical release campaign for the film. A publicity media day is being organized for Thursday, October 20 in Los Angeles and Tuesday, October 25 in New York City. Hannover House is the entertainment division of Target Development Group, Inc. (TDGI.PK).

Tickets will be on sale at participating theatre box offices and online at REGmovies.com starting Friday, October 14, 2011.

CEO Statement at Shareholder Meeting:

And it comes back to the statement that Fred and I said earlier, is that 2010 has been a windfall for the company in ways that aren’t necessarily shown on the Balance Sheet. We have gone from being a boutique DVD distributor in Arkansas to being one of the invited key players at all the major film festivals for the acquisition of films.

We have been approached to handle All’s Faire in Love, which is being distributed internationally, video, and television through MGM/UA. Why would they come to us for a deal like that? Well, it’s a good title for their video divisions, but it’s not big enough for MGM’s theatrical division. They want to come out with the new James Bond film on 3,000 screens, and so something like All’s Faire in Love which is 40, 50, maybe 100 theatres, it’s great for their video label, but it’s too much of a distraction for their theatrical division. This is a great opportunity for a company like Hannover House, and we have been offered a huge number of titles on deals that vary from no advance at all, to P&A being provided by the production companies. So the acquisition of titles on a going-forward basis is not a problem for the company. The problem is going to be picking the right titles and marketing them properly.

We are one of only twelve companies in the United States that has full-service distribution, where we sell to theatres, we sell to international, we sell to television, and we have our own direct video label that does not have to go through a major studio. There are other companies out there that have theatrical only and they have to go through a major studio. And there’s benefits, as you pointed out with Twelve, in going to a major studio for certain titles, but there’s also negatives. The negatives are you lose control of the cash flow, you lose control of the release date, the packaging, the price point, you can’t package your smaller titles with the bigger titles because the major studio maybe doesn’t want your smaller titles. So we feel that we’re in the best position of any other independent out there right now, perhaps except for Anchor Bay Entertainment because they’re very similar to us in what they’re doing. They’re primarily DVD and Blu-ray but they also have theatrical titles and their own video label.

But we feel really encouraged because there’s only a couple of places where people with high quality mid-level films can take them to, and we’re one of those places. And people saw that we opened Twelve on 231 screens. We didn’t do the box office, but they saw the billboards and the taxi tops in New York City and the TV commercials and they saw our trailer, they saw our actors on the talk shows and on all of the Entertainment Tonights and the Access Hollywood, all those programs, and they said, “You know what, these guys, they made noise for this movie, they went out and made noise. Maybe we should consider them for our film.” So acquiring titles on a going-forward basis is not expected to have the same dollar cost that happened to us in 2010 when we had to buy our way into the club.
