yahoo-fangateYahoo Movies has partnered with Regal, United Artists & Edwards Theatres to treat you to 1 million bags of small popcorn.

The small popcorn is free, but hoop-jumping is required:

1) You will need to “like” Yahoo Movies on Facebook to get the deal.

2) When you get to the theatre, you’ll need to “check in” to get the deal, so you’ll need to enable location services on your phone. You’ve got two ways to do it: A) text “popcorn” to 35350 before you go, and they’ll send a link to the mobile site to your phone. Or you can go to http://popcorn.yahoo.net in your smartphone’s browser to get to the “check-in” prompts.

The promotion runs through Aug. 31, or until 1 million coupons have been redeemed. Unfortunately, there is no work-around for those of you without some type of smartphone device + a Facebook account.

FYI, don’t send yourself the coupon until you’re ready to use it. It’s good only until 8 a.m. on the day after it’s sent.

amc-movie-deal Here’s a nice tip we got from Doreen Christensen at the Sun-Sentinel’s Shop-O-Matic blog:

See five holiday movies at AMC theaters from now until Jan. 6, and you’ll get a voucher for $10 for a future movie. To take advantage of the “See 5, get $10promotion you’ll need to save your ticket stubs.  When you have five, you turn them in at an AMC box office. More details on AMC’s Facebook page.

To keep you from being thirsty while you watch the movies, you can use this coupon to get a free large Coke with a large popcorn purchase. You can use the coupon only once per movie ticket, but you can print it out and use it again on multiple visits.

We’ve got more tips on cheap movies here.
