Cheap Family Christmas Movie Outings Coming to Boise, Meridian and Ammon

If you’ve done a movie outing lately, you know that they’re not necessarily the cheapest family outing to pull off. A few years ago, The Hustle calculated the average price of a family movie night based on the total cost of four tickets, two sodas, two popcorns and one box of candy. In 2022, the average price of a family movie outing was $68.73.

We plugged the prices for a local Boise theater into that same formula and weren’t surprised to find that like everything else in life, movie outings have become significantly more expensive in 2024. Depending on what size popcorn and soda you buy, your family movie could cost anywhere from $82.83-$93.20. That’s a lot of cash during a season where you’re already spending money on shopping, decorating and travel. Luckily, there are three Idaho theaters looking to make a fun holiday moving outing a little more affordable! 

Regal, the parent company of Idaho’s Edwards Theaters, is bringing back limited engagements of “Holiday Classics” to select theaters. During those screenings, tickets are just $5 per person. Both the Regal Edwards at the Boise Spectrum and the Regal Edwards Grand Teton in Ammon were selected to be part of the program. 

Meanwhile, their competitor, Cinemark, which operates the Majestic Cinemas in Meridian is doing a winter version of their popular “Summer Movie Clubhouse.” During the Holiday Movie Clubhouse, select screenings of Christmas favorites are just $5.
