When I was younger, and single, seeing a new release in the movie theater was exciting. Now...just getting out of the house without the kids is exciting. Why should I spend $12 to see a new movie, plus additional hard earned cash on concessions? No need to smuggle in Snow Caps and Sour Patch Kids in your purse, I've discovered two bargain movie theaters in Connecticut that I really enjoy. Please use comments to add other budget theaters, too. I'd love to check out more.
My all time favorite movie theater is the Edmond Town Hall in Newtown, CT. The theater formerly shared the building with some of Newtown's town hall offices, which have sinced moved. Edmond Town Hall shows movies that have been out in the theaters for a while already, or perhaps even movies that are no longer being seen in first rate theaters. The theater has undergone some renovations, and the seats are all new now. There is even a balcony which can make your movie viewing experience more unique. The best part, though, is that tickets are onlyt $2 each! A large popcorn is $3, and bottled beverages are $2. Other candies and concessions are also available.
Another great movie theater is the Strand Theatre on Main Street in Seymour, CT. The same type of movies can be seen here, older films no longer showing in first rate theaters. The cost per flick here is $4.50. In my opinion the atmosphere is not as quaint as Edmond Town Hall, however the theater is rarely full so you can have your pick of most seats in the house, and they sell inexpensive concessions, too.
If you're into staying home, look for a Redbox near you, and you can rent movies for just $1/day with a credit card. Keep the movie as long as you'd like with no late fees...just $1/day. You can even check inventory and reserve your movie by visiting their website http://www.redbox.com before heading out.
Please add comments with other inexpensive movie theaters in the area.
