Deal Guy: Mary Pickford Theater’s Tightwad Tuesday and Golden Wednesday Bring Big-Screen Savings

Hi, I’m Kai, the Deal Guy with NBC Palm Springs, and this episode takes us to the Mary Pickford Theater in Cathedral City, where catching the latest blockbuster doesn’t have to bust your budget. From discounted tickets to wallet-friendly popcorn, the theater leans into value to keep movie nights accessible.

General Manager Ted Haines says the marquee savings hit twice a week. On Tightwad Tuesday, most movies are just $6.95. On Golden Wednesday, guests 60 and older pay $7.50 for admission and also receive a free coffee or popcorn. Regulars tell us the theater delivers a premium experience at below-matinee prices, making it a solid pick for date night or a family outing.

Beyond ticket deals, the concessions lineup includes house-made ice cream, beer and wine, and fresh pizza. For frequent visitors, there’s even a yearly popcorn pass to stretch your dollars further.

If you’ve got a bargain we should feature, tell us on air, online, or on social. For now, if you’re hunting for the best movie deal in the desert, the Mary Pickford Theater is the real deal.
