Summer Movies 2011
If you’re like me, you’re counting down the last few days of school with a mix of emotions. I’ll be so glad to see my children all day every day – really, I will! And, I am definitely glad we don’t have to catch a bus at 6:45 every morning. But I do hear this little voice screaming whispering in my head, “What are we going to do for the next three months to stay busy and sane that won’t cost a fortune?”

My children love movies – and there are tons of free or really cheap movies to see in the Alpharetta area over the summer. Here is a list of some local summer programs. Check the theater websites for specific details. Most of these programs have greatly reduced ticket prices ($1-$2) and some offer concession specials as well. Check before you go – some theaters will still try to sell you the $7 kids pack. Um, no thanks.

And, a note from AMC’s site. Apparently they aren’t have a summer movie series this year which is really disappointing. I’d love to frequent the AMC at the Avenue Forsyth but not for full price.
“Thank you for your interest in our AMC Summer MovieCamp program in recent years. Unfortunately, the number of guests has been fewer in recent years, with many shows operating with less than 25 guests in the auditorium. Last year, attendance dropped so significantly that we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the program. While we don’t have Summer MovieCamp any longer, here’s a list of summer films that your family might enjoy and if you come before noon, shows will have value pricing (excluding holiday periods).”
Here is a list of the summer kid’s films just for reference.
- may 27: kung fu panda 2: the kaboom of doom
- june 10: judy moody and the not bummer summer
- june 24: cars 2
- july 1: monte carlo
- july 8: zookeeper
- july 15: winnie the pooh
- july 17: mr popper’s penguins
