Yeah! I try to hit at least two a month!

If you can afford it, a lot of the theater chains have "clubs" where for a (imo) reasonable subscription price you get free tickets and discounted concessions. My partner and I spend $20 each on our subscriptions which is why we try to see at least two movies a month, combined with the discount on concessions we break even that way.

Through regal, idk about the other ones, there is also a reward system which I use for free concessions and free "premium" tickets (imax, 4d, etc)

    if you're breaking even on the subscription + discount concessions, wouldn't it be more cost effective to not subscribe and not feel obligated to go to the movie if you don't or can't want to? Also are you limited to 2 free movies a month or could you go more if you wanted to?

    I could go as many times as I want, some months I'll go 5 or 6 times. I few films this year I saw twice because they were that good.

    I personally actually like feeling like there is an obligation to break even, as it encourages me to see things I normally wouldn't. I wouldn't have gone to see Bugonia if i had to pay for a ticket, but I had a free afternoon and a free ticket so I saw it. I enjoyed myself more than I would have if I'd paid for the ticket.

    That's kind of where I stand with it, if not for the subscription I'd never feel like I could afford to go see some trash I'm pretty sure will be terrible just for the hell of it.

    I like movies 😊

    To be clear, I am aware it isnt a particularly good deal unless you were already seeing more than 2 movies a month.
