All the summer movies you want-for less

Excited to watch the latest summer blockbusters but dread the high cost of movie tickets and streaming? Read on for lots of easy ways to save in theaters or at home

Pay less with a subscription

If you'd love to visit the movie theater one or more times per week, you'll save a bundle with a subscription: For a flat monthly fee, you can watch multiple movies every week-it ends up paying for itself within the first two visits. For example, for $19.95 to $24.95 a month (depending on location), AMC Theatres' AMC Stubs A-List subscription (AMCTheatres.com) lets you make online reservations for up to three movies a week of any format (IMAX and Dolby Cinema included), plus gives 10% back on concessions, as well as free size upgrades on popcorn and fountain drinks. And for $18.99 a month, Regal's Unlimited Plan (RegMovies.com) lets you see as many 2D standard format movies as you want, plus gives 10% off concessions. Another option: The MoviePass (MoviePass.com), a flat $10 monthly charge to see up to three movies per month at most movie theaters.
