Regal Entertainment Group has become the first large U.S. movie theater chain to introduce bag searches for moviegoers following a series of shootings at cinemas around the country.
Regal, the largest U.S. movie chain with some 570 theaters, updated its admittance procedures with a notice saying it had adopted the policy in order to make “customers and staff feel safe when visiting or working in our theaters.”
“Security issues have become a daily part of our lives in America… To ensure the safety of our guests and employees, backpacks and bags of any kind are subject to inspection prior to admission. We acknowledge that this procedure can cause some inconvenience and that it is not without flaws, but hope these are minor in comparison to increased safety,” the notice on Regal’s website said.
It was not clear when the new policy was adopted but moviegoers in some states reported being asked to open their bags before entering on Tuesday night.
