Anyone have any good discount theaters in their area, or had them previously?
One of the popular places growing up was called Dolphin Cinemas. They had a few screens but were centrally located and easy to get to. Believe at their cheapest they were $2, and most expensive near the end around $6 or 7.
My former dentist used to be next door ... they were directly across the street from a McDonald's and an arcade (narrowly avoided an afternoon stabbing there while in junior high) and down the block from a comic book store, 7-11, groceries, etc. Best experience was probably seeing the original Jurassic Park there. Packed theater with line-up around the corner on a Friday night.
