Some communities have Cheap Tuesdays at their movie theatres.
During September and October and possibly beyond, Quesnel will have cheap movies on tap for the late show Sunday through Thursday nights.
If the promotion proves successful, Carib Theatre owner David Hothi says he may be able to convince distributors to continue the program.
While other communities have cheap Tuesday movie offerings, these events often come with crowded theatres and patrons having to be turned away because there isn’t enough room to seat everyone.
As an alternative to Cheap Tuesdays, Hothi says Carib Theatre in Quesnel has been negotiating with distributors for several months on this new program of late show film offerings.
“Starting Sept. 1 to Oct. 31 the community can take advantage of showings after 9 p.m. at a discounted admission of $6,” Hothi said.
He added a $2 surcharge will apply to all 3D showings.
The regular film prices are $9 for a regular film and $11 for a 3D film which still provides a substantial bargain on both offerings.
“We hope this allows our valuable movie-going patrons and the community an affordable alternative,” Hothi said.
“This new price gives our patrons additional opportunities to see the movie of their choice rather than just the one day.”
