Monday Mystery Movie

The title is the one thing Regal will not disclose. Its Monday Mystery Movie is a sneak preview of a film that has not yet opened, sold on a few facts: the rating, the running time and occasionally a nudge about genre, as in the horror-only editions the chain has run. The lights go down and the room finds out together. Past rounds have turned out to be the Woody Harrelson comedy Champions and the British poison-pen comedy Wicked Little Letters. Regal Hollywood on Main Street in downtown Sarasota has taken part in earlier editions. It is a single screening of a single film, one evening, before anyone else in town gets to argue about it.
