Attn: @RegalMovies I am currently unable to either log in to my account or to change the password. In both cases, the error message displayed is both generic and utterly unhelpful. I enjoy seeing movies in your cinemas, but quite frankly, your developers need to get their sh!t together. Please investigate and advise.
