I was just thinking about this after seeing Drag Me to Hell tonight. I've seen 6 films theatrically this year, all but 1 using movie cash (although DMTH was a cheat, bc I used Terminator mc). Of the 5 I used mc on, I think I would have only seen one without it and just waited for the others to arrive on dvd. At this point last year I had only seen 3 movies theatrically.

I rarely see a movie in a theater without movie cash. Though, I don't always see the one the movie cash is designated for...

What the hell is "movie cash"?

And where do you get it?

I've never used it, so I'm gonna have to go with "no".

I see maybe one or two movies theatrically per year, if that.

It seems to me that movie cash is only offered on DVD's I do not intend to buy. Largely, these are double-dips of releases in franchise series (i.e., movie cash for Quantum of Solace with the 3-disc DVD double dip of Casino Royale) or they're for things that just don't interest me. In point of fact, I can only think of one DVD purchase I've ever made that came with movie cash, and that was Batman: The Animated Series - Volume One. The movie? Catwoman.

I still have the movie cash.

Nope. I've never purposely bought a DVD that had movie cash. I've bought a few that came with it but I either wasn't interested in the movie or I forgot about the mc.

Right now I have about 5 or 6 DVDs that came with mc and they all still have it. Heck, I think I still have mc for Lord of the Rings!

DVDs will sometimes have a $10 voucher ("Movie Cash") towards seeing another movie. For example, The Da Vinci Code was recently released on Blu-ray and it came with $10 Movie Cash towards seeing Angels & Demons. It is fairly easy to manipulate the online ticketing system towards seeing any movie though.

I always end up getting the movie cash after the film has been released on DVD. I just now got my Alexander and Inside Man cash. Ha.

I see more movies now, and only pay with movie cash.

I don't use too much Movie Cash these days, but yesterday I started using Costco's Regal Tickets. At a cost of $15 for 2 tickets, and the fact that they're redeemable for any show, any time, means all tickets are only $7.50 each. Great deal. Only thing is that for 3D movies you have to pay $3.50 extra, but that's still only $10.50 total, as opposed to $14.

I used Movie Cash for Watchmen and Night At The Museum 2.

The Movie Cash for Watchmen was good for 2 admissions at $24 total. I got it free when I bought an XBox Live $20 point card at Best Buy. So I ended up with free XBox points.

My Night At The Museum 2 Movie Cash certificates came with 2 Blu-rays I wanted. They were on sale 2 for $35, I had a $25 gift card so I got Australia and Max Payne and BD for free.

Of course, that's my math. If you want to really analyze it...I paid $10 total for the BDs and got $20 in movie tickets and paid $20 for the Live card and got $24 in tickets.

Same here, the wife and I have seen at least one movie a weekend over the past 3 months using only movie money. The exception being IMAX, of course, since they do not accept them.

I doubt we'd see so many movies without the movie money.

I saw, roughly, ninety films or so in theaters last year. And, if I recall, not one of them was using movie money.

I'm about 50/50. I have no interest in seeing NATM 2 but if i'm dragged to see it or I got 2 hours to kill, at least I won't have to pay.

Not much, I only get them every once in awhile since they rarely show up in the DVD's or Blu-rays I was going to buy anyway.

No, not at all.

Better movies change my movie going habits.

Someone found a way to buy fandango bucks with those so I bought like $80 worth of MS points and got about $65ish after the stupid fandango fee of movie tickets.

I also noticed that the Up movie tickets with the Target pixar flicks were double wrapped so I bought a few and got $7.50 off of each ticket. Which I used at AMC Pleasure Island at Downtown Disney. First time I was able to use it at an AMC after it showed up on the participating theaters list and I called them and they confirmed it.

Bwahahahaha...So yeah manipulating movie cash has "paid" for almost all of my movies this year.

Yes I know I'm bad.

But, to answer the question I don't think it really has. I think I might have seen a few movies that I wouldn't have by using movie cash. Usually I would have watched the movie anyways and then go through the trouble of obtaining the movie cash to watch it. If it's to a movie I wouldn't watch anyways I isn't enough of an incentive.

Never used it, not really sure I have any.

In the last 5 years I've seen at least 50 movies per year in the theater.

I have used movie cash for at least 95% of them.

no - kids have changed them. and the five buck club.

Nope. Used it a couple of times, but if I dont want to see a movie, not having to pay to see it isnt going to make me want to sit through it.

But that's when you use it to see a movie you do want to see. I've probably only used half of my movie cash on the movie it was meant for.

Generally the kind of films I want to see play at cinemas that don't take Movie Cash.

I use movie cash about 90% of the time & see the movie it's for only if it's one I was going to see anyway. My theater doesn't care which of the 16 screens you go into once you've paid your way in unless it's a 3D presentation with higher prices. For 3D I have several Regal premier Super Saver tickets which ring up as $7 but are good for any showing any time including 3D. When I run out of Super Savers I'll see less 3D.
