Movie Theater Fun!

 My favorite theater is the MJR Theater at 15 mile and Van Dyke. (There are several different locations, this is just my preference) The seats are comfortable, the actual theaters are a decent size and they always keep it clean.  If you go to a showing before 12 PM on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday they price of a ticket is $4.50. Movies between 12 and 6 PM any day of the week are $5.00. They offer a student discount for night time shoes for $8.50, the regular price is $10.00.The  consession stand has all sorts of things to choose from. I like to get Makayla the kids pack. It has the right amount of popcorn, a small drink & some gummies for $4.75. The best part is if she's really hungry or thirsty, you get one refill on both!

One of my favorite things about MJR is their reward card. It’s free to sign up and each movie ticket you purchase, you get 10 points. The points add up and at certain increments you get free, yes I said FREE stuff.  See the chart to see point increments and rewards. (courtesy of the MJR theater website). The best part is once you reach 500, you continue to earn rewards over again! I know that the movie theater can add up to be a large cost, but when you can earn free popcorn and drinks with a movie ticket of $5.00 I find this movie theater really awesome!

Makayla, my step daughter, loves going to the movie theater. She enjoys taking pictures with all the different movie 3d poster’s that they have had up. Our latest photo shoots at the movie theater included Madagascar 3 and Brave.  I think that my favorite fun addition they had in the lobby of the movie theater was the life size Alvin and the Chipmunks.  We also enjoy clapping at that “special” part during the MJR theme song. The first time I came to this movie theater, I was in shock by that part. It’s a lot of fun to watch Makayla clasp her hands in anticipation for that part.

Another theater that is really cool is the Emagine Theater in Royal Oak. You do have to pay for parking, but if you just remember your space they’ll add it on to your ticket price. I believe it was $2.00. I thought that the theater had a pretty upscale atmosphere. You’re able to choose from a few different types of seats.  The ticket prices vary upon the times you go and which type of seating you choose. Their ticket prices are comparable to MJR’s. Matinee’s are $6.00, $5.00 for children. Evening ticket prices are $10, $8 if you’re a student.

In some movies they have seats that are called “D-Box” these seats move during action scenes. So, if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to feel the rumble from the screen, the “D-box” seats are for you. However, they are an additional $8.75 a ticket on top of your current ticket price.  

The luxury seating is a section of seats that have leather seating and more leg room.  These seats come with an upgrade price of $2.50 per seat. When we attended a movie at this theater, we chose this section and I didn’t find it any more comfortable than regular seating. 

A cool thing about this movie theater is that there is a bowling alley on the opposite side and as you enter the lobby you see the concession stand and off to the left there is a bar. That’s right; if you’re 21 or older you’re able to take an alcoholic beverage into the movie with you! Bonus! 

I think that this theater is more of a date night spot for our family than a theater we’d all go as a family.
