Cinema deals, discounts and offers
The cinema is a great place for adventure. Film fanatics everywhere flock to see the latest releases. But in the last few years, a trip to the cinema has become a strain on our wallets. That’s why we’ve rounded up all the latest deals and offers for you, so you can save when you go to see your faves on the big screen.
ODEON
Member Mondays for £5
Sign up to myODEON for free and get access to cheaper tickets on Member Mondays. Book via the myODEON app and unlock tickets from as little as £5. Any movie, any time, every Monday.
This is exclusive to myODEON members, and can only be redeemed when booking online.
This price includes an online booking fee of £1, however additional upgrades such as seat and format upgrades will cost extra. Price does not apply to special screenings and events.
Screen Unseen
With ODEON Screen Unseen, you are able to watch highly-acclaimed, pre-release films from just £6. But there’s a catch: you won’t know which film you’re seeing until the cinema lights go down. If you don’t mind surprises, are a film buff or simply want a nice day out, Screen Unseen could be perfect for you.
Horror films are not included but Odeon are working on a similar Scream Unseen package and we’ll update you when we’re notified.
