Major Movie Chains Launch Summer Ticket Discounts

Major theater chains across the U.S.—AMC, Regal, and Cinemark—are launching new summer discount programs to attract moviegoers and families back to cinemas. AMC will offer 50% off regular adult-evening ticket prices every Wednesday for AMC Stubs members starting July 9, 2025. Regal's Summer Movie Express provides $1 tickets for family-friendly films on Tuesdays and Wednesdays nationwide, plus $5 snack packs. Cinemark is introducing $1.75 tickets for select family movies on Wednesday mornings at participating locations, including additional snack discounts. These promotions reflect a strong post-pandemic rebound in movie attendance, with theaters reporting increased ticket sales and enthusiasm for summer releases. The combined efforts aim to make moviegoing more affordable and accessible across the country this summer.
