REGAL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP

REGAL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP LOGO

33/4% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES DUE MAY 15, 2008 AND
SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON
CONVERSION OF THE NOTES


        This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus dated December 16, 2003, of Regal Entertainment Group relating to the resale from time to time by selling security holders of our 33/4% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2008 held by the selling security holders and the shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of such notes.

        This prospectus supplement is filed to reflect a change in the amount of notes owned by certain of the selling security holders named in the prospectus, and certain other information respecting such selling security holders, and should be read in conjunction with the prospectus dated December 16, 2003, which is to be delivered with this prospectus supplement.

        The notes are not listed on any securities exchange or included in any automated quotation system. The notes are eligible for trading on the PORTALSM Market, a subsidiary of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. Our Class A common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "RGC."

        SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 10 OF THE PROSPECTUS TO READ ABOUT FACTORS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE PURCHASING THE NOTES OR OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK.

        NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THE PROSPECTUS, AS SUPPLEMENTED BY THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT, IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

The date of this prospectus supplement is February 9, 2004.


The section of the prospectus entitled "Selling Security Holders" located on pages 48-53 of the prospectus is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:


SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

        We originally issued the notes in a private placement in May 2003 to Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, the initial purchaser. The initial purchaser resold the notes to purchasers in transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The selling security holders listed in the following table, which sets forth information about the principal amount of notes and the underlying Class A common stock beneficially owned by each listed selling security holder who has provided us with a completed questionnaire, may from time to time offer and sell the notes and, if the notes are converted, the underlying shares of Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus.

        We have prepared the table below based on information provided to us by the selling security holders. The percentage of ownership of Class A common stock for each selling security holder disclosed in this table is based on 52,793,285 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of December 5, 2003. The amount of securities listed as beneficially owned by the selling security holders after completion of the offering and the holders' respective percentages of beneficial ownership after the completion of the offering are based on the assumption that all of the securities being offered are sold pursuant to this prospectus, and that no other notes or shares of Class A common stock are acquired or disposed of by the selling security holders prior to the termination of this offering. Because the selling security holders may sell all, some or none of their securities or may acquire or dispose of other notes or shares of Class A common stock, we cannot estimate the aggregate number of securities that will be sold in this offering or the number or percentage of shares of Class A common stock that each selling security holder will own upon completion of this offering.

This selling security holder has informed us that it (1) is an affiliate of a broker-dealer, (2) purchased the securities in the ordinary course of business, and (3) at the time of purchase, had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

(1)
Assumes conversion of all of the holder's notes at the current a conversion price of $21.175 per share of Class A common stock. This conversion price, however, is subject to adjustment as described under "Description of the Notes—Conversion of Notes." As a result, the amount of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase or decrease in the future.

(2)
Assumes issuance of Class A common stock in the maximum amount issuable upon conversion of the notes, as described in Note (1) above, and the offering of those shares by the selling security holder pursuant to this prospectus. The selling security holders may offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus their notes, the shares of Class A common stock issued upon conversion of the notes, or both.

(3)
Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act. In calculating this amount, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that particular holder's notes, but we did not assume the conversion of any other holder' notes.

(4)
Information concerning other selling security holders who have not notified us of their intention to sell notes or shares of Class A common stock by returning a completed questionnaire will be set forth in post-effective amendments from time to time, as required. No holder may offer any notes or shares of Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus until such holder is named herein as a selling security holder.

S-5


        Except for Credit Suisse First Boston LLC who was the initial purchaser in the offering of the notes, none of the selling security holders nor any of their affiliates, officers, directors or principal equity holders has held any position or office or has had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
