Regal has pulled F9/11. Apparently they want to hide the truth.
This is an important documentary containing information that could prevent another terrorist attack. If there is one, the blood is on the hands of every theater not showing this movie.

Are we going to let them hide the truth? I say we pull out signs, saying "If you love America, you'll boycott Regal."

By the way, Regal has the monopoly in Orange County, CA.

1. What a bummer.... No smaller "indy" type theaters that don't
belong to a chain? We used to have two here 10 years ago. The chain came and bought every single theater... those two bit the dust. Now the only things we get are movies directly for Hollywood like Rambo I, II, III, IV - American Pie 1-2-3-4, Garfield, etc. etc.

3. This could be great publicity for Moore.
So it just might not be such a bad thing.

It was still listed as a coming attraction for June 25th. You can go to Fandango and buy tickets if you so desire.

5. Who said Regal pulled it? They are on record saying they will show it
Where is this info from?

We need to flood them with calls, emails, and faxes if this is true.

Please post a link.

We cannot let the right wing threaten them into not showing it.

I wonder if Jeb Bush is threatening their tax status or something like that?

11. Tuesday they were going to show it. Today they pulled it.
What is the date of that link? I cannot find it. Tuesday, their box offices said they would definitely show it on the 25th and tickets would be available on the 22nd. Today, the the story changed and the movie has been pulled.

10. bottom line: anyone who wants to see this movie will see it . . .
either in a theater or when it comes out on DVD before the election . . . and anything that perpetuates the controversy is nothing but free publicity that will make people want to see it even more . . . so don't worry about it . . .

14. Do you have any source, or are you repeating or creating a lie?
No offense intended, but a claim that you have facts that support the claims and vile lies of the reich-wing noise machine ought to be at least supported by a link to some credible source.

Otherwise it looks like your post is just one more contribution to a well-funded and highly orchestrated disinformation campaign.

15. If this were true
Would REGAL not take it off their website as a movie "Coming Soon"??? This sounds like a disinformation campaign by competitors in a cutthroat business. Why is there no link to this "story"?? Here is the link to the REGAL site and it STILL shows it as a coming feature:
http://www.uatc.com/
Something doesn't smell right.

16. will see it
at the amc fullerton 20 on release day. there's no movie theater monopoly in orange county.

also, regal pulling it seems like complete conjecture on your part. i see no references anywhere to back up your claim.

17. I checked google, reuters, Regal's website, and the AP
No such thing has happened. Please don't spread false rumors.
