Cinemark Drops Tickets to $1.75 for Summer Kids Program

Movie nights just got affordable again for families across America.

Cinemark announced its Summer Movie Clubhouse program returns June 1, offering tickets for just $1.75 at 285 theaters nationwide. The deal runs through August 6, giving families 10 weeks of budget-friendly entertainment during summer break.

The program kicks off May 13 with tickets already available online, through the Cinemark app, and at participating box offices. Most showings happen on Wednesday mornings, making them perfect for midweek adventures when kids are out of school.

The lineup includes family favorites like Dog Man, Paddington, and Bad Guys 2. Beyond the ticket price, Cinemark sweetened the deal with snack discounts including a dollar off snack packs and popcorn-and-drink combos of any size.

For many families, going to the movies has become nearly impossible. Regular ticket prices can hit $20 in some locations, turning a simple outing for four into a $100+ expense before snacks.

"We continue to see that younger audiences treasure the shared, immersive experience of going to the movies," said Wanda Gierhart Fearing, Cinemark's chief marketing and content officer. The company designed the program to nurture that excitement while keeping it accessible.

The Ripple Effect

This isn't just about cheaper tickets. Programs like Summer Movie Clubhouse help create lasting traditions for families who might otherwise skip the theater entirely.

For parents working multiple jobs or stretching tight budgets, a $1.75 ticket transforms movie-going from luxury to possibility. Kids get to experience films the way they're meant to be seen, on a massive screen with booming sound, creating memories that stick.

The program also supports the broader goal of keeping physical theaters alive. By introducing young viewers to the magic of cinema early, Cinemark invests in the next generation of moviegoers who'll choose theaters over streaming.
