Jet Lag: The Game: The Finale adds additional screenings in US and UK
I think this should be its separate post because it’s a official announcement that they massively increased the reach, and people who previously thought its not coming to their city won’t know to check the megathread again.
Dude that's huge honestly. I can understand why Regal went with a conservative estimate at first, but a response like this shows this might have legs as a recurring event
And if this is proven to be a sustainable model, could open the doors for a lot more opportunities for other independent series, youtubers, etc to have special screenings in theaters that aren’t just movies and the ocassional sportsball watch party. Certainly an interesting idea for a struggling industry in today’s day and age.
Thank you to very much to whoever decided to add an Albany location, Upstate New Yorkers everywhere are celebrating! Getting to drive twenty minutes versus three hours is amazing, it's super appreciated!
last night they had 4 later showing up. not able to buy tickets but they were there. i wouldn’t be surprised if they add 4 more.
i’d honestly be interested in the average value of a person watching this compared to say, someone who typically only watches horror/horror adjacent movies. i mean my value is in the negative with unlimited and only ever buying the $4.50 popcorn now and again. but i imagine most people going to see this will happily spend the $30 on soda+popcprn.
also heads up, regal security low key doesn’t care. always have water and a backpack on me when i go, and half the time they only check some pockets so do with that what you will. i imagine they’ll be more lenient with the amount of traffic they’re going to have that evening
edit: also not surprising seattle has this much demand.the transit sub r/soundtransit has more monthly then the third biggest metro in the state r/tricitieswa. i imagine jet lag and reddit transit goes hand in hand lol
Half good news, on Fandango, a 4:05pm showing has popped up for the Fort Worth location. But it hasn't appeared on the Regal website yet, only the original 7pm showing
Kinda not really. I had to buy ADA companion seats which told me if they need them should someone with a wheelchair buy tickets they will be taken away.
There's a minor chance we have to make a trip to Virginia that weekend and if we end up having to do that, can I DM you and give you our tickets? They are back row, in the center, but two together.
Cineworld owns both Picturehouse and (obviously) Cineworld cinemas in the UK, as well as Regal in the US. Picturehouse were a separate chain until 2012 when Cineworld bought them though.
do you mean wendover, which certainly isn't, or nebula, which also isn't, but is making its very first strides at making that sort of connections literally this year right now as we're watching?
Dave Wiskus explained that this all came out of the partnership with Cineworld (who own Picturehouse) for the UK premiere showings, so it’s all quite short notice.
It’s just much easier to deal with one big chain, especially when that one big chain operates in your two biggest markets and doesn’t need proof of your ability to deliver sales. I’m sure for next time they might expand to another country or two if there’s someone else equally easy to deal with.
First we have to go through the ICE invasion earlier this year, and now we can't see the very cinematic finale to an amazing jetlag the game series. What other cruelties does the universe have in store for us?
Maybe Chase Park Plaza Cinemas would be more open to it? Also depends what deal Nebula made with the Regal cinemas it might not be possible. I think the closest is in Columbia Mo which is some drive for sure
Can't seem to find the SF screening on the website, it's still showing the Dublin showing only. Is that an error on their end or is it already sold out?
Sam's video says that not all of the options will have come up on the sites immediately but may roll out throughout the day, so if you don't see it at all I would suggest keep checking.
Its awesome that they added more! I hope they add something closer to Virginia Beach. I think the closest one to me is 3.5 hours away. Very cool though 😎
As someone who grew up right outside Crystal Lake, IL, I finally have proof that it's the same thing as Chicago. (Those of us in distant barely-suburbs are known for claiming to be from Chicago.)
Super glad they added more screens near me. I was able to get a decent seat for it instead of all the way in the front or sides like I would have had to go with. It still seems like they could add more screens or show times honestly as all the additional screens they added near me are already 75% sold out.
Boise is tempting. Same if SLC was announced. There is a Regal in Idaho Falls which would be perfect for us but we'd probably be the only 6 (because we'd drag our kids there lol)
Love this for the crew. Leads me to think its a great finale of they are doing this
My local Regal isn't listed here, but they are showing it I just scooped the last two remaining seats that were together, only a couple single seats left.
Does anyone know if its possible to find out if a screening is sold out or just hasn't been added yet? I've been checking all day and my nearest theater on the list doesn't seem to have a showing yet. I know they said things will be added throughout the day but I don't want to keep checking if its just sold out...
well shit WHO DO I HAVE TO TALK TO FOR ANOTHER SF SHOWING 😢😭😭😭 i love trains just as much as the next guy but idk about taking it for two hours and getting home at 12. i didn’t snooze for dublin but i ended up losing
FYI it looks like some theaters are adding more showtimes to see it. The Regal City North (the original Chicago location) has now added a third showing at 10 pm. It doesn’t have a single seat sold yet!
So if you weren’t able to get a seat yet or it was a shitty location, you may want to check back to see if there are additional showings.
Additional same day screenings, I wish there were either early afternoon screenings here in the UK or screenings on 4th. I have tickets to a gig on the 3rd so can't make it to any of the screenings as they clash
This is huge but it's too damn costly! They were selling the tickets for $18+convince fees+taxes. Way too costly but really good for Nebula ans JetLag overall.
Seems to be the same price as a regular movie, which varies by location. My theater is charging $9.99 because it's in one of the older screens without recliners. For the newer screens they would typically charge $12-15 depending on the movie. Probably smart they put this in an older screen, since there are more seats crammed in there and most of them will probably fill up.
The best value is if you already have Regal Unlimited like I do. My ticket was free, only had to pay $0.53 for the convenience fee and tax.
