Summer Movies

Summertime is almost here! It is often fun to beat the heat and see a movie. It is a great summertime activity. How can you save money when you go to the movies?

1. You can save money by buying tickets in bulk at Costco for the adults ($7.50 each when you buy 5)

2. Several theaters including Regal Theaters, offer movie club cards, when you purchase tickets in advance

3. The entertainment book sold by many schools includes coupons for movies.

4. If your kids don't mind seeing the same movie again in the theater, you can look some of the special programs that theaters will have for kids.

- Cinemark has a summer club house starting June. Movies are offered every Wednesday at 10 am for 10 weeks at the very low price of $1 each! And, if you buy ticket for all 10 weeks up front, you pay only $5 for 10 MOVIES! What a deal! For info, see http://www.cinemark.com/summermovieclubhouse/index.htm. They are offering Space Chimps, Horton Hears a Who, Madagascar 2, Shrek the Third and Tale of Despereaux to name a few.

- AMC is offering a summer movie camp. All movies are $1 and they have special "snack packages" too. For more info: http://www.amctheatres.com/smc/
