Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

        Regal Entertainment Group ("Regal") has entered into an agreement with Icon Distribution Inc. ("Icon") to settle litigation arising from the exhibition of the film "The Passion of the Christ."

        The settlement occurred after Regal's disclosure of financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 30, 2004, which were furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in Regal's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated February 10, 2005. Pursuant to accounting rules and standards, the impact of the settlement will reduce previously reported net income by $8.3 million and will be reflected in Regal's financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 30, 2004. Accordingly, Regal is furnishing revised Consolidated Statement of Operations Information and Consolidated Summary Balance Sheet Information for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 30, 2004 on Exhibit 99.1.

        The Consolidated Statement of Operations Information attached as Exhibit 99.1 contains certain non-GAAP financial measures for the periods set forth herein. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in Exhibit 99.1.

        Regal also is furnishing to the Commission as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K certain other revised financial information as a result of the settlement for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 30, 2004, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures of the non-GAAP financial measures included therein.
