I like to note all the restaurants in my area that have "Kids Eat Free" nights and capitalize on those. I also arrange play dates around the summertime "Free Summertime Movies" at our local theatres. Everyone you take will get in free, then they usually have a small "Child's Treat" tray for $3 that comes complete with popcorn, small candy and drink.
Another thing we do is trade off DVD's with our friends, we buy a few and they buy a few - not duplicating. Then, we can share and not see the same thing. It's alot cheaper to buy the DVD's than take a family of 3 or more out to a night at the movies! Even going to a matinee and buying no food will cost you a minimum of $30!

My grandson and I have started renting from Red-Box. $1 a night. The same movie rents for $2-$3 across the street. Red-Box sends you special codes for free rentals.
You can do even better if you borrow movies from the library. At ours we can keep for a week. Also a Netflix membership is as low as $7.99 a month and movies come streaming to you tv or tablet or other devices. No reason to buy movies and have to store them
