I’m beginning to think that signing up for Cinemark’s movie club might have been a mistake. Not just because it's a bad deal, although movies in theaters have seemed to be somewhat rubbish since I signed up, or unsuitable for reasons peculiar to my family. I was excited when the Black Panther movie was released… but found no passes were allowed, which I think left me out. (Although maybe not, I only realized today, since I have credits, not passes. Oops!)
Finally today, we decided we’re going to see something, anything, because it's Christmas Eve. We picked a 2:55 showing of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and… because it’s a matinee showing, it’s cheaper than what I paid for the saved-up credits.
So here I am with six stored up credits for free movie tickets, paying $30 for three people to see a movie I could maybe have seen months ago but was scared away from.
I'm not saying Cinemark's movie club is a bad deal, I'm just saying it might have been a mistake for me to sign up for it specifically.
