Q.  When was the last time you paid full price to go to the movies?

A.  Hopefully, you can’t remember!

Because as long as Plastic Jungle’s supply of Fandango discount gift cards are in stock, you can get 1 movie ticket at half price when you buy 4 movie tickets!  For every 4 – $7 movie ticket you’ll pay, you save $4.20 – which is the cost of half a movie ticket!  So, when you buy 3 movie tickets at full price, you get the 4th movie ticket at half off!

Consider using your discount movie tickets to see these popular new releases:

Frankenweenie || rated PG || family film

A fun Tim Burton Halloween movie for kids of all ages, Frankenweenie is the newest Disney film.  Laugh as man’s best friend – Sparky – is brought back to life. See Frankenweenie on standard, 3D, and IMAX screens.  Remember to buy your discount movie tickets with Fandango discount gift cards.  This trick could save you enough for a free treat at the concessions stand.

Argo || rated R || guys night / double-date

Starring Ben Affleck and John Goodman, Argo retells the real-life rescue mission of 52 Americans.  While some scenes contain tense situations and adult language, this previously untold historical escape is rated at a high 96% by critics on Rotten Tomatoes.  Recommended for high school juniors and older, use Argo as a conversation starter to talk about risk, courage, and bravery.

The Sessions || Rated R || night out with girlfriends

From the entertaining and empathetic trailer, I imagine The Sessions will fall in the same vein of comedy/ as Bridesmaids.  You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll walk away thinking about life differently after seeing The Sessions.

Movies are always fun with a group.  You can split the cost of the big tub of popcorn, and if your local theatre offers it, you can get free popcorn refills!  Go as a group and when you buy three movie ticket tickets you’ll get the fourth movie ticket for half price as long as you pay with discount Fandango gift cards!  Discount movie tickets are a great way to see new releases for less.

Remember :: Use your movie theatre membership card when buying discount movie tickets from Fandango to score additional perks like free movie tickets!

One half price ticket is based on the ticket cost of $7 per ticket.  Ticket and popcorn prices vary by location.

Coming to Theaters THIS Wednesday, September 5 | Girl Model

A good movie for moms and daughters, sisters, and any other audience that likes chick flicks with a deeper meaning.  Girl Model tracks a young woman as life holds a brighter future when a model scout discovers her beauty.  Travel from Russia to Japan with Nadya and you’ll find there is more to life in front of the camera than meets the eye.

Showing in Theaters THIS Sunday, September 9 | The Comedy

The Comedy is an independent film directed by Rick Alverson which leaves viewers with much to think about even after the movie is over.  Using comedians as actors this film is not a typical comedy.  The story follows main character, Swanson, as he inherits his father’s estate and searches for more of his sheltered life.  Screened at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, this new production boasts numerous positive viewer reviews.

Debuting in Theaters Friday, September 16 | Disney*PIXAR’s Finding Nemo 3D

Exploring the Great Barrier Reef with Marlin and his son Nemo has never been this visually stunning.  Speak whale and encounter sea turtles in an ocean setting like never before.  Be sure to arrive early, as PIXAR just may have a brand new ‘short’ at the beginning of this film, dude!

Movie ticket prices vary on theatre, time, 3D experience, and geographic location.  Compare Fandango and Plastic Jungle to see how discounts stack up for your area.

Date night or matinee, we’ve got your plans for next weekend.  Your son or daughter will not stop talking about it, your wife just finished the book study and you’re ready to see the action on the big screen…

Seeing The Hunger Games movie is only a week away.  (If you’re like me, you’re looking forward to the occasion of a group movie night to see how the movie compares to the book.)

Debating where to view the film?  Take the guesswork out of the decision by relying upon your similarities with some of the Hunger Games’ main characters.

If you have a thing for music, singing, playing, or listening, you have a thing or two in common with Hunger Games’ Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark.

Katniss and Peeta might be more inclined to use Fandango discount gift cards – afterall ‘Fandango’ is a couple’s dance which requires music!  As children from District 12, both appreciate an item of good value.  Save yourself 8% on the Hunger Games movie tickets by ordering Fandango discount gift cards.  Katness and Peeta will meet you at the theater.

As an animal lover, you enjoy stopping to smell the roses – or shall I say stopping to pet the goats?  Like Prim, you might enjoy spacious stadium style seating introduced by AMC Theatres.

The armrests have the clever ability to be lifted which creates a loveseat feel.  Get your seats for 13% off with discount AMC gift cards that are good at any AMC Theatre in the U.S.  I’m sure Prim would see this as an opportunity to bring her family’s cat, Buttercup, to the movies with her.

I’d be interested to know which you liked better – The Hunger Games book or The Hunger Games movie.

Waiting in a long line can be just as frustrating as paying too much for a movie ticket.  Don’t put money down the drain.

If you’re interested in seeing a movie on the big screen, pick up discount Fandango gift cards before buying tickets.

Without even leaving your home, you can reduce the cost of movie tickets by 10%.  Just order discount electronic Fandango gift cards (eCODES) from Plastic Jungle and within 1-2 business days, you’ll receive a digital gift card for Fandango worth more than you paid for it.
