Make it a movie night
Opening weekends get crowded, especially for big franchise titles. Buy tickets early for Friday and Saturday nights, or try a weekday matinee for smaller crowds and lower prices. Many theaters run discount days, and premium formats sell out first. Bring the whole crew. October is made for scary movies, comfort movies and loud ones.
StarShot’s picks
Want a crowd-pleaser? Go with Street Fighter. For something darker, Clayface is right on time for Halloween. And if you’ve never seen Spirited Away on a big screen, don’t miss this chance.
Release dates can shift, and some titles open in limited release first, so check your local theater’s listings for showtimes.
