Catching movies in NYC can get pretty pricey: Many theaters charge a whopping $16 to sit in for a film, and that’s not even counting the even pricier flicks in 3D! But this summer, Regal Cinemas is going to save families a pretty penny with the return of its Summer Movie Express series. Beginning July 4, various Regal Cinemas theaters will screen family-friendly movies on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and kids will get to sit in for just a buck.
Participating theaters are the UA Kaufman Astoria Stadium 14 & RPX in Long Island City, Queens, the UA Sheepshead Bay Stadium 14 IMAX & RPX near Brighton Beach in Brooklyn and the UA Staten Island Stadium 16 & RPX in Staten Island.
These theaters won’t be screening old and forgotten films either. The cool lineup includes recent hits like Kubo and the Two Strings, Sing, Trolls, The Lego Batman Movie and lots more. Each theater will screen two movies on both days of the week beginning with Kung Fu Panda 3 and Ice Age: Collision Course on July 4th and 5th.
Participating in the Summer Movie Express series will not only make little ones—and your pockets—happy, but a portion of the proceeds will go toward the Will Rogers Institute, which funds the research and education of cardiopulmonary diseases.
