It seems a bit silly to pay full price for movie tickets these days. Look, I’m not being dismissive here. But just have a look at how many movie discounts there are right now and you’ll soon realise how much money you’ve been wasting by paying in cash at the box office. Luckily, we’ve compiled this list so it won’t happen again. (Unless otherwise stated, promotions are not available on public holidays and eves of public holidays.)
