Seeking solace from the sun during a hot summer day in Phoenix doesn’t have to be pricey.
One way to stay cool and under budget is by going to the movies.
Whether you want to see the “Materialists,” “Superman” or the “I Know What You Did Last Summer” reboot, you don’t need to break the bank to watch the long-awaited summer premieres. Perhaps you’d like to rewatch a classic or just get the kids out of the house.
There are options for everyone, especially with Harkins Theatres in Arizona bringing back its Summer Movie Fun.
Here’s how to get cheap movie tickets at Harkins this summer.
