Spending and Saving
Go to the Movies for Free (or Almost-Free)
After emptying our wallets to see Avatar we got to thinking that there must be a cheaper way to see movies. Sure, going to movies early in the day and avoiding the concession stand will save you money. We know that. But, there are other tricks to seeing movies–even on opening night–on the cheap.
Buy Many At A Time.
Regal Entertainment Group offers Super Saver tickets for as low as $6.50 each. These tickets carry some restrictions, but you can get a ticket valid for all movies and show times, for just a dollar more per ticket.

If you don’t want to buy quite as many at a time, there are options for you, too.
Harness Social Media For Movie Rewards.
Fandango offers chances to win free movie tickets to its followers on Twitter. Those who participate in Movie Review Monday – in which Fandango followers tweet movie reviews with rhymes in them – are in the running for two free tickets.
Go For Dinner And A Movie.
For every order of $50 in movie tickets (at $8 per ticket), this deal will grant you a $25 Restaurant.com gift certificate, too. Similarly, the Entertainment Book costs $21 to $30 and provides you with hundreds of coupons for restaurants and events–plus dozens of coupons to popular movie theaters. With an Entertainment Book voucher, each movie costs as little as $5 to $6. A showing of The Lovely Bones at AMC Loews in Chicago costs $11 regularly; if you used an Entertainment Book voucher, you’d save nearly 50%.
Take Advantage Of The Perks.
AMC has a MovieWatcher program in which you earn two points for every ticket you buy. Thirty points makes you eligible for a free ticket. Meanwhile, Regal’s Crown Club provides one credit for every $1 spent on admission. Fifty credits will get you…

This is one of the best ways I have seen to watch movies for cheap but here in Asia the movie tickets are still much cheaper and costs only $2-$3 for a evening show.
