Beat the summer heat with movie screenings

One way families can beat the summer heat: Go to the movies. And even better: Go to participating Consolidated Theatres and Regal locations for special $1 kid-friendly film screenings all summer break long.

“Our Keiki Film Hui series is particularly beloved by the community,” said Kyler Kokubun, marketing coordinator of Consolidated Theatres. “It’s become something of a tradition that families look forward to, offering an affordable way to spend quality time together and experience the magic of film favorites back on the big screen.”

Also, a portion of the proceeds from Regal’s Summer Movie Express will benefit the Will Rogers Institute.
