A Movie and Hot Dogs for Under $10 in Downtown Santa Cruz

POV: It is Tuesday and you take yourself on a solo date night to the movie theater for $5.

Santa Cruz Cinema on Pacific Ave has every movie available for $5 on Tuesdays. That is it. Pick any movie on the board and it is five dollars.

It is a school night. It is still worth it.


The Full Deal

Getting inside a dark air conditioned room to watch one of the best movies of the year for $5 is already a win.

Then they started selling $2 hot dogs on Tuesdays only.

Dinner and a movie for under $10. Cheaper than ordering on Apple TV and infinitely better than your couch.


Pro Tips

Get your tickets early. Online or at the kiosk by the entrance. It can get packed on Tuesdays and you want the good seats.

Also worth signing up for their Movie Perks loyalty program if you are a regular. Points add up fast when you are going every Tuesday.

You will be off your phone longer and pay attention more. That is the whole point.
