After a few delays, Harkins Theatres is finally ready to cut the ribbon on its second Colorado location.

On Thursday, April 26, join the weekend-long grand opening celebration of Harkins Arvada 14, located at 5550 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. The blockbuster fun kicks off at 4:45 p.m., when Harkins’ Owner, Dan Harkins, will lead a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The first 100 ticket holders receive a FREE $10 Harkins Gift Card.

Throughout the opening weekend, customers can enjoy various events and receive great prizes. All ticket holders will receive a scratch-and-win game card (while supplies last) and, the best part, every card is a winner.

Prizes include concession vouchers, Harkins Loyalty Cups, movie collectibles, Harkins Gift Cards and one lucky winner will receive a year’s worth of FREE movies.

This popular summer tradition isn’t necessarily “cheap”, but it sure is lots of fun. (Actually, 15 bucks for a concert, comedian and flick isn’t so bad, right?) The Denver Film Society and Denver Arts & Venues are hosting their 19th annual Film on the Rocks at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. (Could you ask for a better backdrop?)

The 2018 season includes 7 movies throughout the summer, including cult-classics, pop culture standards and past fan-favorites. Performances by local musicians and comedians precede each film. [Read more…] about Under The Stars: 2018 Film On The Rocks

Like blockbusters, but on a budget? If so, make Tuesday your “movie day.” This “reel deal” is available at just one location — Meadows Stadium 12 (9355 Park Meadows Dr.) in Littleton. Every Tuesday, the theater offers the chain’s Value Days promo. It’s the only Regal Cinemas theater in Colorado to do so. (Holidays are excluded.)

Denver is a world-class city, when it comes to the arts and so much more. And, fortunately, the city makes the theater affordable for all. Among the Denver Center for Performing Arts’ discount programs, the most popular is its DCPAccess — with tickets just $10 each. (To review the 2017-18 Denver Center Theatre Company season, click here.) Tickets go on sale Tuesday, March 27 at noon for “Native Gardens.” [Read more…] about DCPA’s $10 Show Tickets – “Native Gardens” On Sale Today

Have you ever had a craving for movie popcorn at home? (Movie theater popcorn always tastes better than the homemade stuff, right?) Thanks to Harkins Theatres, you can feel like you’re at the movies, while sitting on your couch. The movie theater sells a Big Party Popcorn to take home for just $10.

Harkins Big Party Popcorn is available every day of the year and perfect for birthdays, office celebrations, holiday parties, any gathering with family & friends and, of course, movie night. We couldn’t find an actual size, but Harkins states the bag is, “Big enough to serve up to 10 of your friends.” Colorado has only one Harkins Theatre at 8300 E. Northfield Blvd. in Denver.

If you’re a regular reader, you know we love Regal Cinemas’ Regal Crown Club. (Bryan is nearing one million points!) Not only is membership FREE, but the club offers rewards, discounts and promos. Whether you go to the movies a few times a year or every week, you’d be foolish not to sign-up for just the savings. One of the best perks is members get 50% off any size popcorn, with paid admission, every Tuesday.

With the discount, a small is about $4, a medium about $4.50 and a large about $5. When going with family and friends, and for maximum value, get the large because it includes one FREE refill. Even if you don’t eat two tubs during the movie (can anyone?), get a refill before you leave the theater — a few minutes in the microwave and it’s hot and fresh again.

If you’re not a fan of crowds, Tuesday is the perfect day to see a movie in a more relaxed setting. (FYI – Fewer people go to the movies Monday through Wednesday. Duh!) For bargain hunters, go to the movies before 6 p.m. for matinée pricing for added savings. 

If you’re not a member of Regal Crown Club, you can sign-up at the box office and access the benefits immediately — joining is quick, easy and, best of all, FREE.

Here’s an interesting freebie. Laura, Bryan & Claire are big fans of Broadway musicals, but you don’t have to go to New York City to hear musical theater. AccuBroadway delivers. It’s the first multi-channel Broadway radio station and FREE with no downloading required. Simply go to the website and the choose from more than two-dozen channels from classic to modern shows, or choose between decades or composers. We are listening to Chicago, while writing this post.

Going to the movies with friends and family is a popular activity, but why not do it “on the cheap”? If you can wait a few months to see the latest blockbuster, check out what’s playing at Elvis Cinemas, a Colorado-owned discount movie theater chain showing second-run movies.

Tickets are $3 before 6 p.m. and $4 after 6 p.m. Even better, sign-up for its Elvis Cinemas Newsletter Club and get a coupon for a FREE small popcorn.

There are three locations — Arvada (5157 W. 64th Ave.), Denver (7400 E. Hampden Ave.) and Littleton (6014 S. Kipling Pkwy.)

You don’t need to be a star to get the “celebrity treatment” at AMC Theatres, thanks to its two loyalty programs. If you go the movies often, you’d be foolish not to take advantage of the benefits. Going to the movies can be expensive, especially for families, so why not earn a few freebies along the way? [Read more…] about AMC Theatres’ Stubs Offers Two Levels of Loyalty Rewards and Perks

For movie fanatics, this deal is definitely poppin’! Harkins Northfield 18 (8300 E. Northfield Blvd.) in Denver is again offering its annual Loyalty Cup promo. The program rewards frequent moviegoers with “cheap” soft drinks every time they go to the movies at the chain in 2018. For $6, purchase a 2018 Loyalty Cup and sip on $1.50 soft drink refills every time you visit.

They no longer offer a loyalty t-shirt. (Even though they’re offering the same promo for $5 more, it’s worth it to not have to wear the t-shirt, in our opinion.) New this year, for $30, add Popcorn Perks to your My Harkins Awards membership and receive a FREE medium popcorn with the purchase of a movie ticket. The savings are in the numbers: If you get just two FREE popcorns and refills every month, you’ll end up saving more than $150 before ringing in 2019. Of course, the more you go, the more you save. Obviously, for maximum savings, movie lovers will take advantage of both offers.
