Three ways to get a great deal on some big-screen movie magic

Three ways to get a great deal on some big-screen movie magic

From action-packed superhero adventures to spine-chilling horror, there is nothing quite like experiencing a great film. But, with so many incredible movies being released, it can be hard to afford tickets to see them all on the big screen.

However, help could be at hand. Why? Because some special deals and promotions can prove useful when looking to enjoy the latest exciting cinematic spectacles.

Deal delight

Brands in a range of sectors have made promotions a core part of their efforts to entice new customers and reward loyal ones.

A quick look online highlights this. For instance, in the world of food and recipe kits, SimplyCook offers a free trial where customers only have to pay £1 postage. Deals are also a big sector of areas like online games. Sometimes, one does not even have to go to a specific brand for offers, as sites like VoucherCodes bring them together in one place. The site features a host of categories, including fashion, travel and going out.

But for those looking for a good deal that will allow them to watch some top films, where’s a good place to start? There are a few options out there and here we have highlighted a trio of ideas.

1. Become a member

For a regular visitor to a specific cinema chain, it might be worth signing up to a membership scheme. For example, Odeon offers the myLIMITLESS membership program, where movie fans can see films as often as they like.

The scheme includes further perks, such as discounts on food and drink and exclusive member screenings, and is available for a monthly fee. Most chain cinemas offer similar discounts and perks, and even local, independent cinemas have membership options.

2. Special days

Every now and then, a chain might hold a special event that is kind to viewers’ wallets. For instance, Cineworld held its first Cineworld Day in February, where tickets for all films in all formats were just £3.

These types of deals do not emerge all that often, so it is well worth keeping an ear to the ground and making a note of when the next event of this kind rolls around.

3. Free trials

Anyone looking to catch up on some big-screen hits that have left cinemas will probably find that the best bet might be streaming services. Fortunately, these platforms do occasionally offer free trials, with some also featuring a few noteworthy movies.

For example, Amazon Prime Video offers a 30-day free trial that includes access to some classic favourites, originals and exclusives.

Promotions and deals are simply everywhere these days, so it makes sense that there are plenty related to new films. The ideas above are just a few to consider when looking to enjoy the latest big releases both in the cinema and at home.
