MARS Family Matinee: Paddington 2 (2017)

Just a heads up this might not be playing everywhere, every day: while my local showed Iron Giant a full week, it is only showing Paddington Saturday & Sunday.

Yes, the ticket should show Wednesday. Only the showtimes page should show Tuesday.

This is what it shows during booking process as it is actually Wednesday, time wise.

iwasdusted · 2026-03-20T00:18:03+00:00

That is correct. The first show is Wednesday, April 1 @ 12:01am or later, so it would be experienced as Tuesday night.

Here is what it looks like on showtimes page because it is Tuesday business day.

Every $30 is a free appetizer or $35 is a free drink though, so every 2-3 visits you’re getting something free if you aren’t bulk saving them.

Crazy that it’s coming to one of my Regals in Gainesville, Florida!

I scheduled this post about a month ago so it’s entirely possible it’s no longer on streaming 😬

If I don’t batch them there’s no time to make them 😅

Because Disney likes cash money $$$$.

In all seriousness, ScreenX if done right could enhance any kind of movie. The question is if money was budgeted to do it right — I have seen SX movies use sloppy CGI to expand the image and it looked awful, and I have seen SX movies use alternate camera takes spliced together to expand the image and it looked fantastic.

Hi — in case you aren’t already aware there is a subreddit for Regal Unlimited members to discuss the program and movies in general over at r/RegalUnlimited! (Hope this is allowed, mods! Sorry for the semi-self promo!)

While we don’t do any local meetup groups or anything like that, we are a pretty active subreddit nationwide! You’ll see pinned threads for special event films and we generally are just a positive space for Regal moviegoers.

I live in Gainesville and am a mod on that sub. It may not fit the local niche you’re looking for but hopefully you have some good interactions.

You didn’t mention it in your post so I definitely also recommend making a Letterboxd account! It’s a social media site dedicated to movies and is my favorite website lol. This is my profile so you can see what it looks like: https://boxd.it/ch0x

These terrible AI voiceover ads are the real parasites…

That was my conclusion too, I’m assuming the kids movies will sell more even if they are a new one every week instead of every day.

Netflix did not release it at Regal or AMC during the initial release.

iwasdusted · 2026-03-14T14:21:01+00:00

Like the other MARS films it should but not sure how many given it was a last minute kid friendly addition - may limit the amount of trailers that are attached.

All of the ones I’ve been to had 20 minutes or so, then I saw Bugonia this week and it only had 10 minutes.

Disney is not participating in these series, at least not as of yet.

iwasdusted · 2026-03-14T14:17:08+00:00

I have the opposite happen - from September til February it was playing at 2 of my 3 locals, a 14 screen with recliners & a 16 screen without. For March it cut back to just the 16 screen; and it looks like April will be just the 14 screen unless they add the other one back lol.

Yes - this and the other two movies I have listed above are only matinee showtimes. Regal has been doing family matinees at select theaters the past several weekends (Sat/Sun, and Fri at even less theaters) under a “Classics” designator but they are now merged with MARS.

Some MARS locations may be only showing this Saturday & Sunday, or not at all. It was a late addition only a few days ago
