300 movie cash question
 
Does anybody know which theaters are participating in the 300 Best Buy promotion? The ticket gives you a website to go to, but when I type in the promo code, that code doesn't work. Has anybody else tried this?

Can you give alittle more detail as to the deal?

Zodiac_Speaking 02-26-07 08:12 AM

I'm sure this will work almost anywhere.

Usuall, hey have a sheet of all the particpating theatres, but since I believe 300 is rolling out on 3300+ theatres, you're pretty much safe anywhere.

kenbenobi 02-26-07 08:24 AM

Does it say "not valid at IMAX theaters"? My friend is worried about that, since she plans on seeing 300 at an IMAX theater... She realizes she'll need to pay the difference (since it is $15)

I'm having the same problem with "The Number 23" movie money, also from Best Buy.
Nothing comes up for 100 miles.

MattyP33 02-26-07 08:49 AM

I just typed in my zip code, left the promo code field blank and it gave me a list of local theaters that accept the tickets...

I have a question on how to get them from best buy....

I bought 6 movies in the BOGO sale and they didnt have any 300 tickets in. They told me the tickets are for only when you buy Alexander revisited, however I BELIEVE it says on the website as well as in Speedy's thread that it is for ANY dvd. Can someone help me out on how I can go about getting the movie ticket tomorrow when they get them in using my receipt?

:wave: Welcome to the forum.

Show them the sales flyer and be polite, but firm. On page 22 of the flyer, it clearly states that you get a DVD trailer for 300 plus movie cash instantly, when you buy a DVD.

MattyP33 02-26-07 11:09 AM

mpj31, the tickets themselves are not in any dvd case, you have to find the 300 preview disc which is in its own separate slimline case...good luck!

Here's the best I could do with my phone:

I actually did have them pull a flyer. I guess with their ear pieces they were saying stuff I couldn't hear but it sounded like they had no idea. Since it was on the new release page I guess they figured it only started tomorrow. I'll definitely be going back with my receipt tommorow, with a print out of the online advertisement. I want to see if they get goodfellas in before this sale is over anyway. Thanks for the picture though I'll make sure to look. I really want to see this movie, but don't enjoy spending 8.50 when I can buy it later on for at least 6.66 at blockbuster and keep it.

Also just to let you know as many people I've been coming to this site for about a year now, if not more, just never signed up. Big thanks to speedy for the ads every week.

mpj31 02-26-07 11:44 AM

By the way I meant that the best buy didn't have any of those 300 dvds in stock yet. I knew they werent going to be inside the dvds themselves, although that would be nice. I was there Sunday night and this morning and looked all around for goodfellas so I know the store by heart. For some reason my best buy doesn't want to display them until tomorrow.

kenbuzz 02-26-07 12:18 PM

Could you/someone post the link here so others can find out if there's a nearby theatre they can use it at?

The promo code on the tickets doesn't seem to work yet, but you can still enter in your zip code.

I can't get that link to kick out any theatres for the "Number 23" ticket cash that Best Buy gave out a couple of weeks ago. What gives!?!

Just enter your zip code. It should give a list that accepts Hollywood movie money

tophrman 02-26-07 02:24 PM

It looks like it's gonna work at Douglas Theaters, but not AMC, if that helps.

Knives 02-26-07 03:11 PM

FangsFirst 02-26-07 03:14 PM

considering that it appears a few people are going to BB and buying every single available possible copy, this may all become moot :P

Is there not a list somewhere on the ticket of at least the umbrella companies like Carmike, Regal, etc?

hal9000 02-26-07 04:01 PM

So, I shouldn't just assume it's good anywhere and everywhere, like they claim it is on the ticket, save for a few mom-n-pop theaters that might scoff at this deal?

Here's a pic of the ticket:

FangsFirst 02-26-07 04:08 PM

Hmmm...they have changed it a bit. I think I've used one of those before...I dunno what to go on at all.

Promo code, if tied to the movie, probably naturally pulls nothing up...since the film isn't showing yet.

IamLegend 02-26-07 04:16 PM

The code you have entered (31752) is not a valid Hollywood Movie Money promo code. Click here to search again.

I'm getting that, too...

ignition 02-26-07 05:20 PM

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the discs were supposed to come out on Tuesday.

According to the Best Buy website, the 300 promo disc has a release date of 2/27.

chard31 02-26-07 05:32 PM

Went to BB today and got 2 promo dvds for free...

I've used Movie Cash at the UA IMAX near me before. You just need to pay the price difference.

Rbow854597 02-26-07 09:41 PM

Do you guys know if these tickets work on opening night/weekend? Or do they only work a week after release? Thanks.

MickeyMousePal 02-26-07 09:47 PM

Got 8 at Best Buy in Fullerton.
Rbow854597 Yes, you can use them on the opening night.
I know because I used movie ticket coupons for Superman Returns, POTC:DMC and X-Men:TLS on the first day of release. It's better to go to the theater in the morning then the night.

The free tickets that I've gotten in the past was for the first 10 days to 2 weeks, including the opening weekend. I cannot comment on this particular one because I was unable to procure one today(hopefully, I'll get one on my return visit tomorrow).

VALUEMAN 02-26-07 10:37 PM

The tix say it is good until April 9.

matrixrok9 02-27-07 12:17 AM

How much is the movie cash worth? I want to watch it on IMAX as well.

hal9000 02-27-07 01:15 AM

FYI, first page of this thread i posted front and back views of the 300 ticket...

Sweet Baby James 02-27-07 01:32 AM

Up to $10.50.

sirbrady 02-27-07 07:03 AM

All the big theatres here are AMC. I hope these will work there.

Ok, I have to ask...Is there any reason you needed to take 8 of them?

If you look, they are already selling these on eBay.

ignition 02-27-07 12:26 PM

Douchebags.

All I wanted was one for myself and one for my fiancee, and now it looks like everywhere's sold out because people took 20 of them on Sunday and are selling them off on Ebay.

darkside 02-27-07 12:30 PM

Yeah, I'm not big on doing that. I took 2 and then a friend wanted one so I grabbed one for him today when I bought Tenacious D.

Sleazy, sleazy people. When I went this morning, there was a guy who had AT LEAST 20-30 of the DVDs in his basket. I can see 2 or 3, but 30?!?!?!?

This is going to ruin future promotions for everyone. A few abuses like this and watch how quickly the studios limit these things to one per customer.
