Ok, I have to say this: We pack our own goodies! Thank goodness for oversize purses! But we occasionally do buy the popcorn – just nothing like movie theater popcorn!!!

@Adolfo EllieD is right, you are too funny. I didn’t forget about your suggestion. I actually want to write a post just on this topic since others suggested it as well. I’ve never sneaked in… maybe I’m just not cool enough.

@EllieD I’m so jealous of the discounts you get. I usually get the student discount but it’s only 50 cents to a dollar – not much at all. BTW, I haven’t had to sneak in yet.

@tracy I’ve never been to screenings I didn’t want to see. Think about it this way, if the movie sucked, at least you didn’t have to pay for it.

Since I’m a senior, I can see movies at the Laemmle Theaters for $4.50 matinees on Wednesdays. They also have the best popcorn anywhere, so we usually indulge in a large popcorn, which can be refilled once for free! First showings at the AMC (at least the one in Woodland Hills) are $6.00, and most of us have their Rewards card. The Regal Theaters, at least a couple of them in Simi Valley, are only $3.00, and the Century 8 in North Hollywood has $5, $5.50 and $6.00 rates all weekdays.
@Adolfo ~ Thought sneaking into movies went out once one got through junior high school!

well dont forget arclight they cost more but there card gives you free tix or credit to the snacks they got carmel popcorn and when you buy online its a buck cheeper and get to pick you seats so you and your friends are going to sit together not get there early and looking for seats together and the screening exchange does early releases to see what needs to be changed and stuff bad arts you gotta get there hours early they fill up fast and no phones you gotta leave them in the car and they search you your bag and metal dector still gotta pay to park and some of the movies suck but some are good

Another site to sign up for is The Screening Exchange (I think it maybe similar to Film Metro). They will send you invites to movie screenings. Here is a link to their website: http://www.thescreeningexchange.com/ee/
