After a year of pandemic closures, the movie theater industry is trying to bounce back by announcing a so-called “Cinema Week,” which runs now through Sunday.
The idea is to welcome guests back to the movies with concession specials, on-site events, giveaways, specially curated arthouse films and Hollywood’s latest blockbusters.
AMC Theatres is enticing audiences with all-you-can-eat popcorn for the entire week.
Meanwhile, Angelika theaters are offering sweet discounts at the Angelika Pop-Up at Union Market in Northeast D.C. and the Angelika Film Center and Café at Mosaic in Fairfax, Virginia.
Here’s a breakdown of the specials at each location:
