                                   THE COMPANY

         The following is a summary of certain information incorporated by
reference in this Prospectus. This summary is not intended to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction
with, the detailed information incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

                                   THE COMPANY

         Regal Cinemas, Inc, (the "Company" or "Regal") is the eighth largest
motion picture exhibitor in the United States based upon the number of screens
in operation. At May 14, 1996, the Company operated 128 multi-screen theatres
with an aggregate of 1,006 screens. Regal also had 14 new theatres with 162
screens under construction and 19 screens under construction at existing
theatres. Regal has subsequently consummated two acquisitions of 17 theatres
with 129 screens.

         The Company's strategy is to develop, acquire and operate multi-screen
theatres in mid-size metropolitan markets and suburban growth areas of larger
metropolitan markets. As of May 1, 1995, the Company averaged 7.9 screens per
location, as compared to an average of 4.8 screens per location for the industry
and 5.4 screens per location for the five largest U.S. motion picture
exhibitors. Management believes that the Company's multi-screen theatres,
substantially all of which show first run movies, promote increased attendance
and maximize operating efficiencies through reduced labor costs and improved
utilization of theatre capacity. Centralized decision making, including
accounting, film licensing and concession purchasing, as well as management
incentives based on controlling theatre-level costs, contribute to the Company's
cost-efficient operations.

         The Company's growth has come through the acquisition of existing
theatres and the development of new theatres. Since its inception through May
14, 1996, Regal has acquired a net of 98 theatres with 630 screens, which has
served to establish and enhance the Company's presence in selected geographic
markets. Regal anticipates that its future growth will result from the
development of new theatres, the addition of screens to existing theatres,
strategic acquisitions of theatre circuits and the development of entertainment
concepts that complement the Company's theatres. The Company currently plans to
develop 150 to 175 screens annually for the next several years. The Company
intends to locate theatres in markets that it believes are under screened
because of changing demographic trends or that are served by older theatre
facilities or by theatres having an insufficient number of screens. The Company
seeks to locate each theatre where it will be the sole or dominant exhibitor
within a particular geographic film licensing zone. Management believes that
approximately 66% of the Company's theatres are located in film licensing zones
in which Regal is the sole exhibitor.

         Regal emphasizes patron satisfaction by providing convenient locations,
comfortable seating, spacious neon-enhanced lobby and concession areas and a
wide variety of film selections. Regal's theatre complexes feature clean, modern
auditoriums with high quality projection and digital stereo surround-sound
systems. Regal's theatres typically contain auditoriums having 100 to 500 seats,
allowing the Company to exhibit films profitably for longer periods by shifting
films from larger to smaller auditoriums within the same complex to accommodate
changing attendance levels during the time a film is being exhibited. In
addition the Company promotes patron loyalty through specialized marketing
programs for its theatres and feature films.

         To complement the Company's theatre development, Regal opened its first
FunScape(TM) comprehensive entertainment complex in Chesapeake, Virginia in
August 1995 and its second FunScape in Rochester, New York in February 1996.
Each complex includes a 13 screen theatre and a 50,000 square foot comprehensive
family entertainment center. The Company currently has two additional


                                        2
<PAGE>   4
FunScape complexes under construction and may seek to develop additional
FunScape complexes at strategic locations.


                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Recent Acquisitions

         Georgia State Theatres, Inc. Merger. On May 30, 1996, Regal acquired
Georgia State Theatres, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("GST") for 940,142 shares
of Regal Common Stock in a pooling of interests transaction. GST, headquartered
in Atlanta, Georgia, has 10 first run theatres with 68 screens, including one
drive-in theatre, located in the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia area and a
partnership in Gainesville, Georgia. The parties closed the transaction and
effected the merger (the "GST Merger") on May 30, 1996.

         Krikorian Asset Acquisition. Regal entered into an agreement to acquire
assets consisting of eight theatres with 69 screens in California (the
"Acquisition") from an individual, George Krikorian, and corporations controlled
by him (collectively, "Krikorian"). On May 31, 1996, the Company consummated the
acquisition of seven of the theatres with 61 screens for consideration of
428,038 shares of Regal Common Stock and approximately $12.9 million in cash.
The Company anticipates closing the acquisition of the eighth theatre upon
satisfaction of certain conditions to closing applicable to that theatre. The
aggregate consideration for the transaction is anticipated to be approximately
470,000 shares of Regal Common Stock and approximately $14.1 million in cash.

         The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Tennessee
in November 1989. Regal's principal office is located at 7132 Commercial Park
Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee 37918, and its telephone number is (423) 922-1123.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the following
factors should be considered carefully in evaluating an investment in the Common
Stock offered hereby.

         Growth Rate and Integration of Acquisitions. Regal has experienced
substantial growth since its formation through the acquisition of existing
theatres and development of new theatres. During 1995, the Company added net 169
screens. In addition, the Company recently completed two acquisitions of 17
theatres with an aggregate of 129 screens. Given the magnitude of these
acquisitions, there can be no assurance that the challenge of assimilating the
acquisitions and managing the larger overall business operations will not have
an adverse effect on Regal's results of operations, especially in the short
term.

         Expansion Plans. Regal's continued ability to expand will depend on a
number of factors, including the selection and availability of suitable
locations, the hiring and training of skilled management and personnel, the
availability of adequate financing and other factors, some of which are beyond
the control of the Company. There is no assurance that Regal will be able to
open all of its planned new theatres or that, if opened, those theatres can be
operated profitably.

         Dependence on Films. The ability of Regal to operate successfully
depends upon a number of factors, the most important of which is the
availability of marketable motion pictures. Poor relationships with
distributors, a disruption in the production of motion pictures or poor
commercial success of motion pictures could have a material adverse effect upon
Regal's business.

         Fluctuations in Quarterly Results of Operations. Regal's revenues have
been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the
major distributors. Generally, the most marketable motion pictures have been
released during the summer and the Thanksgiving through year end holiday season.
The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can alter the
traditional trend. The timing of such releases can have a significant effect on
Regal's results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not
necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter.

         Competition. The motion picture exhibition industry is highly
competitive, particularly with respect to licensing films, attracting patrons
and finding new theatre sites. There are a number of well-established
competitors. Many of Regal's competitors have been in existence significantly
longer than Regal and may be better established in the markets where Regal's
theatres are or may be located.

         In recent years, alternative motion picture exhibition delivery systems
have been developed for the exhibition of filmed entertainment, including cable
and satellite television, video cassettes and pay per view. An expansion of such
delivery systems could have a material adverse effect upon Regal's business.

         Dependence on Senior Management. Regal's success depends upon the
continued contributions of its senior management, including Michael L. Campbell,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The loss of the services of
one or more of Regal's senior management could have a material adverse effect
upon its business and development. Regal's loan agreement provides that Mr.
Campbell or a successor reasonably acceptable to Regal's lenders must be
employed as Chief Executive Officer. Regal has an employment agreement with Mr.
Campbell.

         Volatility of Market Price. From time to time, there may be significant
volatility in the market price for the Common Stock. Quarterly operating results
of Regal or of other motion picture exhibitors, changes in general conditions in
the economy, the financial markets or the motion picture industry, natural


                                        4
<PAGE>   6
disasters or other developments affecting Regal or its competitors could cause
the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, in
recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market prices
of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating
performance.

         Legislative Initiatives. The Clinton Administration continues to
analyze and propose new legislation that could adversely impact the entire
business community. Minimum wage increases, if passed, could increase Regal's
operating costs. Regal would attempt to offset increased costs through
additional improvements in operating efficiencies and ticket and concession
price increases.

         Risks Associated with the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. The Olympics are
being held in and around Atlanta, Georgia in the summer of 1996. The Company
believes that the Olympics may have an adverse impact on the motion picture
exhibition industry generally during that time frame as well as on the Company's
theatre locations in Atlanta, Georgia, particularly. The Company currently has
16 theatres in the Atlanta, Georgia area, including 10 theatres acquired in the
GST Merger. Summer months generally constitute one of the heaviest periods of
attendance at movies. To the extent that the Olympics detract from theatre
attendance generally, there could be an adverse impact on the Company's business
during one of its busiest seasons. The traffic congestion, scheduling conflicts
and other factors associated with the Olympics could result in a reduction in
attendance for the Company's Atlanta area theatres during the summer of 1996.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         The Tennessee Business Corporation Act ("TBCA") provides that a
corporation may indemnify any of its directors and officers against liability
incurred in connection with a proceeding if (i) the director or officer acted in
good faith, (ii) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity with the
corporation, the director or officer reasonably believed such conduct was in the
corporation's best interest, (iii) in all other cases, the director of officer
reasonably believed that his or her conduct was not opposed to the best interest
of the corporation, and (iv) in connection with any criminal proceeding, the
director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however,
the TBCA provides that no indemnification may be made if the director of officer
was adjudged to be liable to the corporation. In cases where the director or
officer is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding instigated because of his or her status as an officer or director of
a corporation, the TBCA mandates that the corporation indemnify the director or
officer against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding. The TBCA also
provides that in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal
benefit to an officer or director, no indemnification may be made if such
officer or director is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the TBCA provides that a
court of competent jurisdiction, upon application, may order that an officer or
director be indemnified for reasonable expenses if, in consideration of all
relevant circumstances, the court determines that such individual is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnification, whether or not the standard of conduct
set forth above was met.

         Article 8 of the Restated Charter (the "Charter") of the Company and
its Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Company shall
indemnify against liability, and advance expenses to, any present or former
director or officer of the Company to the fullest extent allowed by the TBCA, as
amended from time to time, or any subsequent law, rule or regulation adopted in
lieu thereof. Additionally, the Charter provides that no director of the Company
shall be personally liable to the Company or any of its shareholders for
monetary damages for breach of any fiduciary duty except for liability arising
from (i) any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) any unlawful
distributions, or (iv) receiving any improper personal benefit. The Company has
entered into indemnification agreements with each of the Company's directors and
executive officers.


                                      II-1
<PAGE>   11
         The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholder, and the
Selling Shareholder has agreed to indemnify the Company, for certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act pursuant to an
Acquisition Agreement, dated March 25, 1996, by and between the Company, the
Selling Shareholder and affiliates of the Selling Shareholder.

         Directors' and officers' liability insurance has also been obtained by
the Company, the effect of which is to indemnify the directors and officers of
the Company against certain damages and expenses because of certain claims made
against them caused by their negligent act, error or omission.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made
of the securities offered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:

                  (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
         the Securities Act of 1933;

                  (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
         after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
         recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
         aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
         in this Registration Statement;

                  (iii) to include any material information with respect to the
         plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration
         Statement or any material change to such information in this
         Registration Statement;

provided, however, that the undertakings in paragraph (i) and (ii) above do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registration
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof; and

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Exchange Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14 above, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the question has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

         Re:         Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as your counsel in connection with your preparation of a
registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") filed by you
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 1996, covering 345,293
shares of no par value common stock (the "Common Stock") of Regal Cinemas, Inc.
(the"Company") to be sold by a shareholder of the Company (the "Selling
Shareholder").

         In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon such
records, documents and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or
appropriate in order to express the opinions hereinafter set forth and have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies.

         Based on the foregoing and such other matters as we have deemed
relevant, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock to be sold by
the Selling Shareholder are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         We hereby consent to the reference to our law firm in the Registration
Statement under the caption "Legal Matters" and to the use of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.

                                Very truly yours,


                                /s/ Bass, Berry & Sims PLC
