Cineworld, owner of Regal Cinemas, has reached a deal with Universal on a shortened theatrical window for its cinemas in the U.S. and U.K..
For Regal Cinemas in the U.S., Universal films will be screened based on the same agreement made by the studio with fellow national chains AMC and Cinemark last year. After 17 days exclusively in theaters, Universal will have the option to make a film available as a premium video on-demand offering. If a film earns an opening weekend of more than $50 million, the theatrical exclusivity period will be extended to 31 days.
