Date Night Alert Tonight Is Two-For-One Cinema Deals
Two-for-one deals are coming to cinemas around the country. Cinema United and the Cinema Foundation are teaming up to bring two-for-one concessions and additional discounts to movie theaters as part of an inaugural event sponsored by Fandango called “Date Night At The Movies.” According to the chair of the Cinema Foundation, the one-night only Friday event is “all about enjoying the big screen with someone special.”
As we head towards the end of summer, it’s time to take stock of the season, take a break, and maybe take a night off with your loved one — go for a date, perhaps, and take in a good movie. Thankfully, AMC, Regal, Cinemark, and thousands of theater screens all across the United States are ready to help this Today, with a nationwide Date Night@ the Movies.
Mike Bowers, head of The Cinema Foundation, told PEOPLE, “Like most people I know, my first date with my wife was at the movies and it is still our favorite night out. ‘Date Night @ the Movies’ is an opportunity to celebrate this tradition with your favorite movie partner and enjoy 2-for-1 treats.”
Bowers jokes, “This works out perfect for me because I don’t share my popcorn!”
Previous events in the yearlong “@ the Movies” campaign, sponsored by Fandango, have included National Popcorn Day (Jan. 19) and Sneak Peek Showcase (April 22).
