Hollywood’s dominance over the filmgoing experience continues unabated.
The movie theater industry is the largest and most profitable in the world, and with its growing share of the moviegoing pie, it’s no surprise that its influence has expanded beyond the home.
But there are a few ways to get Hollywood out of the picture.
Here are five ways to cut your moviegoing bill.
1.
Buy locally.
Many theaters are run by the same people that run other theaters.
Many don’t allow customers to bring in their own movies, so you’ll have to buy them yourself, or rent them from the movie theaters that do.
A local movie shop is a good place to start.
Some theaters offer a wide selection of DVDs, Blu-rays, and other entertainment options for a fraction of the cost of a full-service theater.
If you’re not a fan of the latest flicks, there’s a chance that the theaters might be able to help you find one.
2.
Stop buying tickets at the door.
Even if you don’t want to go to a movie in person, you should probably get tickets for your own home theater.
It may be a little pricey, but at least it’ll save you some money, and you can check out movies online and buy tickets online.
3.
Call the movie theater and ask for a discount.
If the store has a good line up of movies and a reasonable price, it may be worth the effort.
There’s a small chance that if you have the ticket, it might be worth it to walk to the theater instead of buying it.
The last thing you want is to be left out of a deal.
4.
Use a discount code.
Most movie theaters offer discounts, but you can also buy your ticket online or call the theater to get the discount.
A good way to get a discount is to call a number associated with the theater that you think you’ll be able, or to visit a specific movie theater in your area and look around the lobby.
This will help you get a better sense of what the best deals are and will save you time and money.
5.
Ask for a referral code.
If your friends are already planning a trip to a nearby movie theater, you might be surprised at how easy it is to find movie tickets for them.
You can give them a referral card to help make it easier to go.
If it’s too much to ask, consider making your movie tickets available for a one-time cost of $10 or less, which will allow you to reserve tickets for a limited number of people, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get them to see the movie.
