Posted by Frugal Dater On July - 18 - 2010

We found a link to discounted AMC movie tickets in various cities (Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, WashingtonDC) that will allow you to purchase a regular AMC movie ticket for only four (4) dollars.

According to the details it’s good at any AMC®, Loews®, Cineplex Odeon, Magic Johnson, and Star theatres, excluding Canadian theatres.

If you want to see an IMAX or 3D movie there will most likely be a surcharge. however for a ticket that usually retails around $12 or more this was a deal that we had to share.
