We went to our local, Kernersville movie theater today, Trex Cinema. They have all the first run movies and we saw The Devil Wears Prada 2. It was awesome. We met the owner, Don Trexler and his pooch Oliver. We had such a great time, I decided to do a cost comparison between Trex Cinema vs Palladium on Samet Dr. The savings at Trex are significant!
At Trex, Date Matinee or Date Night are great because the prices are the same..ALL DAY!
2 adults $7.50 ea 15.00
COMBO Large corn and large drink only $13.50
TOTAL $28.50
At Regal Palladium in Greensboro/ High Point, here's what you'd pay for the same matinee tickets and the same snacks. NOTE: Palladium tickets after matinee times are even more.
Date matinee
2 adult tickets $13.99 = $27.98
1 large popcorn $12.49
1 large drink $ 8.49
TOTAL $48.96 (Trex would save you $20.46)
Now let's do the math for a family of 4
TREX CINEMA FAMILY OF 4
Let's say you're a family of 4 and your 2 kids refuse to share. Honestly, why should they at these prices? Plus it saves you a headache. At Trex Cinema you can get
Combo #1 is a small drink & small popcorn at $11.00ea x 2 kids = $22.00
Combo #3 large corn and drink $13.50
4 tickets $7.50 = $30
TOTAL TICKETS AND SNACKS $65.50
REGAL PALLADIUM FAMILY OF 4 (Matinee prices)
2 small drinks $8.49 ea = $16.98
2 small popcorns $10.49 = $20.98
1 large popcorn $ 12.49 and 1 large drink $8.49 = $20.98
So far, you've spent $58.94 for snacks. Now let's add tickets:
2 adult tickets $13.99 ea = $27.98 + 2 kids under 12 yo $12.99 ea = $25.98
Total for tickets $53.96
TOTAL TICKETS AND SNACKS $112.90 (Trex would save you $47.40!)
So ask yourself.. "Do my kids need recliners to watch a movie?" The answer? They do not.

The Orville Redenbacher popcorn kernels are organic, popped in coconut oil and are naturally gluten free. The coconut oil keeps popped corn fresh and crunchy for several days, so if you can't finish it, take it home!
