Regal Theaters Summer Movies Express
$1 movies. Doors open at 9:00 AM for these movies and seating is on a first come, first served basis. You usually have your choice of a PG or G movie. I recommend visiting http://www.commonsensemedia.org/ to read up on movies to see if they are appropriate for your children not just in terms of age but their personality. A tip for younger ones — I used to bring JavaGirl’s dining booster chair with its tray to strap her into a theater seat and give her age-appropriate snacks and her sippy cup and she was able to sit through movies happily.
