Q. How can I secure my $75,000 award from Regal Cinema amid bankruptcy?

July 24, 2025

A: You will need to file a PROOF OF CLAIM form with the Bankruptcy Court in which Regal Cinema filed for relief.

Your PROOF OF CLAIM must be filed timely - the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court can let you know the deadline date.

Moreover, my understanding is that Regal Cinema is no longer in bankruptcy (as of 2023), so your full rights to your award may be in effect now.
