I love going to the movie theater and I have an even larger passion for film so it's no surprise that I find myself at the movies at least 2 times a week. In the States ticket prices seem have gradually climbed to the point where it can become fairly costly, especially for those like me who go quiet frequently. Here in Lima, Peru the price of admission for a movie varies depending on the location of the movie theater (LarcoMar and Jockey Plaza being the most expensive $$$).
In Lima, most people prefer to go to the movies on Tuesdays because the ticket prices at most theaters are usually cut in half, which also makes it a BAD day to go and see those popular new releases. Thankfully I have recently discovered an amazing promotional offer at the cinema that I go to in Jesus Maria (Multicines at Plaza Jesus Maria). The Multicines in Jesus Maria (inside the Metro) offers what they call a Platinum Members Plaza Card which only costs S/. 2 (thats roughly $ 0.75!!!) for a lifetime membership. With the card members are given deals not just on movies but on food as well, which is awesome. From Monday-Friday all movies only cost me S/. 5.50 which is a huge deal considering the original cost is S/. 10.50 per ticket. The only downside is that the membership is only good for the Multicines in Jesus Maria.
From what I have heard Cine Planet also offers a membership card that also offers similar deals to Multicines, plus Cine Planet has several locations (Plaza San Miguel, Metro on Av. Venezuela in Breña, Centro Civico in Downtown Lima, etc.).
So why conform to paying the standard wages when you can pay much less that what is offered! Below are the websites to some of the Cinemas in Lima, Peru.

From what I have seen they don't have a membership card
I just came across this video a few minutes ago and I got to say it looks promising (if your into those kinds of sentimental tearjerking, feel good, happy but possibly sad ending kinds of movies). The film even has some A-list celebrities starring in it: Harrison Ford and Brenden Fraser.
I the past Oregon has been a choice location for such memorable films like Bandits and the ever classic Animal House (TOGA, TOGA, TOGA!!!), so it comes to me as no surprise that Oregon has once again been chosen for a film location. I think I remember even hearing somewhere that the State of Oregon promotes film production companies to come and film in Oregon by giving them a discount on taxes or something.
Anyways here the link to the trailer, Looks good to me. What do you think?
