So maybe you’re not taking part in Halloween, but want to do something scary, safe and fun anyway. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could rent an entire movie theatre for your favorite scary movie? No word if Landmark in Brandon is looking at this idea, but I hope they are: US theatres are selling you an entire theatre, just for you and your friends, for $99. AMC Theatres in the US right now are doing this so groups of up to 20 people can enjoy private screenings ranging from Halloween classics to family films and new releases.
There are more than 30 titles to choose from, from classics like “Jurassic Park” and “The Empire Strikes Back,” to family-friendly movies like “Monsters, Inc.” and “Madagascar,” and Halloween favorites like “Hocus Pocus.” It costs $99 to rent older films, and new releases can cost between $149 and $349, depending on the movie and your location. Popcorn and candy are not included in the deal, but you can order them in advance. You can bring your own food, but AMC charges a $250 outside catering fee. I hope Canadian theatres try this! If they do, we’ll be sure to keep you posted!
