Lights! Camera! Discounts! Getting discounts at the box office can be as tricky as the latest suspense thriller…or full of laughs like a comedy. However, frugal film fanatics can also be a superstar saver at Regal Cinemas, thanks to several money-saving options. Even those who must see new releases can save a few bucks. The key is to plan ahead and be flexible. Never pay full-price at the box office or concession stand, unless you absolutely must.
Regal Crown Club
The club is the chain’s longtime loyalty program. Members get rewarded with discounts at the box office and concession stand, as well as earn points toward FREE movie tickets, popcorn, soft drinks and movie memorabilia.
Earn 100 points for every dollar spent at the box office and concession stand.
Members also get access to exclusive sneak previews and lots of opportunities to earn bonus points.
Membership is FREE — sign-up online or at the box office.
Regal Unlimited
Join the chain’s movie subscription pass, Regal Unlimited, for blockbuster savings.
With membership as low as $18 per month, you can see as many movies as you want, whenever you want.
There are restrictions and rules, so review the program carefully before you join, so as to be sure you will benefit.
Value Days
Regal Cinemas offers Value Days with discounted tickets every Tuesday. Price varies by location.
There is an upcharge for premium formats, including 3-D, 4-D, IMAX and RPX. Special screenings are excluded.
This discount is blockbuster because it includes new releases — a rarity in the world of movie discounts.
The offer is only available to Regal Crown Club members.
Bargain Popcorn
It doesn’t get much better than saving at the box office AND munching on discounted popcorn.
Every Tuesday, Regal Cinemas serves up a hot deal — 50% off any size popcorn. Bargain hunters will probably want to go with the large size because it includes one complimentary refill.
The offer is only available to Regal Crown Club members.
Sweet Savings
You can’t watch a movie without a box of candy in hand.
Every Monday, Regal Cinemas serves up a sweet deal — 25% off any candy.
The offer is only available to Regal Crown Club members.
Matinée Discount
If you didn’t already know, matinée showtimes (before 6 p.m.) are always cheaper than evening shows — usually by a few bucks. Plus, as an added bonus, there are fewer patrons during the day, so it can be a much quieter and relaxing experience.
Free Large Refills
Fill ‘er up, please! Regal Cinemas offers a FREE refill (on the same visit) on a large popcorn and/or a large soft drink.
It’s a smart move for budget-conscious families or friends. Why pay for two or three small popcorns, when you can share a “big one” for less money? Think ahead and bring lunch bags or plastic bags to make sharing easier. Limit one complimentary refill on the same visit.
If you can only chomp on a single bucket of popcorn, still get your FREE refill after the movie and take it home for a midnight snack — just warm it up in the microwave.
The complimentary refill also applies to a large soft drink. However, sharing can be a bit tricky, unless you don’t mind sipping from the same cup. For parents, you could ask for a few extra water cups at the concession stand and just pour each kid a little of the soft drink — enough to enjoy, but not spill.
AARP Special
AARP members save $3 on a small drink and small popcorn combo. To get the savings, show your AARP membership card at the concession stand.
Plus, members save up to 20% on Regal ePremiere Tickets purchased online. Tickets are valid at all Regal locations nationwide for all movies and showtimes.
Military Discount
Regal Cinemas offers military pricing at select locations. For participating locations, click here.
The discount is available to veterans, both active and retired. Military pricing is only offered at the box office. ID must be presented at time of ticket purchase.
Senior Discount
It pays to be older and wiser, even at the box office. Regal Cinemas offers movie-goers 60 and older a discount on tickets — up to 30% off. The discount varies by location.
Now, you’re ready to write the script on how to save money at Regal Cinemas — just remember to combine deals (when possible) for true blockbuster savings.
For example, with your Regal Crown Club account, check out a new flick on Tuesday at a discounted price and, also, grab a half-price popcorn. It’s even better because both transactions will earn points toward more savings.
