With sequels like “Kung Fu Panda 2,” superhero films like “X- Men: First Class” and the much- anticipated last installment of Harry Potter, the movie options are end- less. The box office is not only making bank but also proba- bly close to breaking yours with the expensive cost of tickets and the always- enticing bucket of buttery movie theater popcorn. Fol- low these tips to enjoy your film favorites without skip- ping the con- cession stand. 1. Go to the matinee The early bird gets the worm, and the early bird also gets the low- est prices on movies. Matinee shows are usually before noon and cost around $6, instead of the usual $10. For those who would rather see a later showing, check out the- ater websites to find out discount days and discounts for students. 2. Buy the largest combo There’s something so natural about shoving handfuls of popcorn in your mouth while being engrossed in a movie. Coupled with that deli- Martina cious smell that greets you upon entering the the- ater, it’s no wonder that many people can’t resist splurg- ing on pop- corn. Instead of buying indi vidual combos for each of the kids, pur- chase a large popcorn and soda for the best deal. Bring sandwich bags to divvy up the popcorn and use colorful straws to distinguish the Geronimo drink. Free refills are usually available for this combo, so there will be plenty for everybody. 3. Join rewards programs Rewards programs provide easy savings and are free to join. Spending a certain amount will earn points that can go towards con- cessions or movie tick- ets. Check your local theaters for programs they offer to start earning rewards. For theaters without a rewards program, like Cinemark, you can sign up for a weekly email that gives weekly concession coupons. With these tips, you can still enjoy summer blockbusters without cringing at the price of your trip the movies.
