Regal Theaters is bringing back its Summer Movie Express on Monday, June 1, with $1 family movies offered Monday through Thursday at 11 a.m. through Aug. 13. Kid’s snack packs will be discounted too, giving families a cheap way to fill a summer morning without paying full price for a ticket.
The lineup includes newer animated favorites such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Scoob! and Animal Farm, along with old school picks like The Sandlot and Muppet Treasure Island. Regal has locations in Brier Creek, North Hills, Cary and Garner, and there is sure to be a Regal location near you if you are looking for a theater close to home.
The deal fits into a broader summer wave of family movie discounts across the Triangle, where theater chains are leaning on low-cost programs to draw crowds during the school break. Regal’s offer stands out because it is simple: one dollar, weekday mornings, and a slate of familiar titles that parents can use to turn a slow part of the day into an easy outing.
The only real catch is timing. The screenings run in a narrow window, and the schedule ends Aug. 13, so families hoping to use the offer will need to plan around weekday mornings. For anyone trying to stretch a summer budget, that makes the first days of June the best time to start.
