OT: Empire theatres 2 for 1 today Wed Aug 26.

[coastgirl]

I'm taking the kids to Ponyo this afternoon and noticed on the website their "deal" today is 2 for 1 general admission. It's only good today, with the printable coupon. (You have to sign up, but I've been signed up almost a year and no spam I can track to them...) They also have some deals left later this week, like movie + snack for 9.99. If you have an Empire close by and want to see a movie today, might be a nice perk. Hope that helps someone.

Awesome Thanks! I looked but our theatre doesn't have Ponyo - only kids show is Shorts
I might see if DH and I can find a sitter though

Yeah, I was thinking it'd actually be a better deal if you were buying two adult admissions. Hope that works out for you! Date night--oooo, I could use a date night...sigh.

Just a weeeee rant to go with that...darn good thing we had that coupon.

Two kids under 10, one adult to see the movie. 3 kids' packs (sm drink, sm popcorn, reg candy bar). 29.99.

However. TWO of those movie tickets were free. I used the 2-for-one, plus I had a free ticket left over from a birthday party. So ONE kid's admission and three kids' snacks= $30! Make no wonder I never take them to the movies...

And, um, is it just me, or was Ponyo not the best thing to bear the Disney name this year? Kids liked it, me not so much...

Our co-op student tells me that the $9.99 for admission, large popcorn and pop is a regular deal if you show your student card...sweet deal! Not sure if I qualify as a part-time student, but I may give it a try next time...DH hates paying crazy money for pop and popcorn at the movies.

Actually funny story from just last night - friend and I went to see Julie and Julie last night (loved it) and we had our freshly cut coupons from the deal of the day for $6.99 admission and when we ordered our tickets we found out that it's that deal every week on Tuesday. Too funny...
