Free Summer Movies

June 1, 2010 at 9:53 am 6 Comments  

One of my favorite things on our summer fun schedule is the free movie! Every Tuesday & Wednesday through the summer, our local theater shows a G & PG movies at 10am. It’s completely free, and the girls relish the opportunity to see new movies & old favorites on the big screen—something that is not typically in our budget.

Check with theaters in your area for details on the summer movie program. May theaters across the country have free (or nearly free!) movies all season. Here are the basic details:

AMC Summer Movie Camp

A different movie every Tuesday at 10am from June 15-August 10th. Admission to Summer Movie Camp is $1. Plus, they will sell $4 kids concession packs.

Cinemark’s Summer Movie Clubhouse

Each week, Cinemark will show G or PG movies weekday mornings at 10am. Admission is $1, or you can purchase a $5 Summer Movie Clubhouse punch card for all 10 movies through the summer!

Kerasotes Summer Movie Series

Every summer, Kerasotes theaters have offered a free kids movie on Wednesday & Thursday mornings. However, there is no information available for this year. I am guessing it has something to do with the AMC merger. Perhaps, the AMC Summer Movie Camp will be available at Kerastoes theaters too—check with your local theater for details.

Marcus Theaters Kids Rule

Kids Rule admission is $2.75 at Marcus Theaters, but it includes popcorn! Every Wednesday & Thursday, a different movie will be shown, June 23-August . I’m a little jealous of those of you in this theater area—the movies are much more current than your typical summer program!

Regal Free Family Film Festival

Every Tuesday & Wednesday, June 8th-August 11th, a free G & PG movie will be shown at 10am. We go to the Free Film Festival almost every week, right down the street from our house. I’m looking forward to the Madagascar/Madagascar 2 back-to-back weeks later in the summer!

As always, check your location for participation & details. And, if you know of one I missed, please let me know!

    The theater here in town does this on Wednesdays. Unfortunately I doubt we’ll be able to take advantage of it this year. My baby’s only 2 and can’t sit through a movie like that. Wish he could because my older two would love it.

    Andrea, when mine was 2, I used to leave the oldest in a theater & sit in the hallway & read with my toddler. Of course, there’s an 8 year difference, so that helps a lot.

    I also always knew another mom who’d keep an eye on her. Maybe you could find a preteen who’d like to see a movie with your kids or another mom with an age gap to swap with.

    Plus, the theater is *full* of parents with disruptive children. It’s not at all the same as taking a toddler to a paid movie. It would at the very least be a good chance to see how he’d do.

    Andrea,

    Our town theater is always packed so we get there early and I seat my older 4 in the back row so that I can easily slip in and out of theater if necessary and I know they are close by.

    Thank you ladies. I’m going to give it a try at least with the first movie. If he doesn’t do well, I may wait a few weeks and try again. Who knows? I won’t feel bad if we have to leave though since it is a free movie.

    […] Because I’ve seen the price of movie tickets! Of course, I have seen Eclipse—twice! But, for the record, I had my blood sucked for free tickets. I’ve also seen The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything & Jimmy Neutron this summer, but those were completely free! […]
