The Woodland Mall Cinema 5 theater has recently dropped their prices to $2 for a matinee and $4 for evening shows. Going to the movies can be an expensive choice of entertainment, but at the Woodland Cinema 5 a night out is made cheap. "As an avid movie goer, I really appreciate the movie theater.
They show new movies and it's right down the road from campus," junior Alex Lunato said. The theater, which shows first-run movies or new releases on five feature screens, is located in the entertainment wing of the mall. The theater is open seven days a week, featuring not only new releases, but cheap prices too.
Cinema 5 has always had cheap prices; matinee screenings are $3.50 and movies after 6 p.m.
are $5.75. Compared to Showcase Cinemas and other large movie theaters, the Woodland Mall theater is considerably low priced.
"I'll definitely go more now that I know it's cheaper," said Krystina Clacher, sophomore. "The new prices at the movie theater are great, especially for students who are avid movie goers but can't enjoy going to the movies because they are on a strict budget," said Mark Martucci, senior. BGSU students and other college students can find the best deal on Thursday nights.
If students show their college ID after 6 p.m. the movie is only $2.
Other nights the cost is $4 for general admission and $2 for matinees. This price change went into effect before the holiday season. "That's a good deal; it's worth skipping happy hour for it," said Sydney Affholder, senior.
"The theater lowered admission prices and raised concessions because it is easier to make money off of concessions," said Emily West, concession cashier. The amount of movie goers has increased with the decrease in price, according to Kat Moran, a manager at the Woodland Cinema 5. Friday and Saturday are usually the busiest days for movie goers, including families and students.
For the majority, the customers are college students any day of the week. Moran also clarified that even with the low cost, the kinds of movies shown will not be affected. "We are still considered a first-run theater," she said.
