How to Find a Dollar Movie Theater

With new movies coming out almost every weekend, it can be difficult to catch all of them in the theater. Sometimes films can disappear from theaters after just a few weeks, and if you didn't get a chance to see it, you're forced to wait for months until its release on home video. Prices also are a factor at regular theaters, as they continue to rise, making a trip to the theater too costly. Dollar movie theaters can be a great solution to both of these problems, as they get films after they leave the main theaters, giving you a chance to see them at a reduced price. But finding a dollar movie theater can sometimes be a chore.

      Scroll through the list and familiarize yourself with the movies playing in theaters. Regular theaters will be playing many of the same movies, so take note of which films are being listed again and again. This will help you to notice when you come across a theater with a completely different list. Also pay attention to the names of theaters; sometimes, dollar movie theaters will have names that identify them as such.
