Holy crap. Now this is a GREAT idea. It looks like the giant movie theater chain, AMC, is going to be putting on a free movie summer project. The good folks over at
M&C give us this:<blockquote>
Well, kids and adults alike can enjoy free movies and entertainment Wednesday mornings this summer thanks to AMC's "Summer MovieCamp" program. AMC Theatres will offer the community service program in 40 U.S. cities June 21, 2006, through August 9, 2006. AMC Summer MovieCamp in Charlotte, North Carolina, will run June 14, 2006, thru August 23, 2006. The box office will open at 9:30 a.m. with show times at 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
AMC Summer MovieCamp 2006 will feature select titles such as: ‘Racing Stripes,’ ‘Ice Age,’ ‘Because of Winn-Dixie,’ ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,’ ‘Dreamer,’ ‘Shark Tale,’ ‘Madagascar,’ ‘The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie,’ ‘Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed,’ ‘March of the Penguins,’ ‘Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit’and ‘Shrek 2.’</blockquote>No, these aren't first run movies, but still, if I could go see March of the Penguins on a BIG screen for free I'd go (even though I already own the dvd).
Thumbs up to AMC for doing this little programs. I'm not sure what they get out of it, but free movies are free movies. You probably have to put up with 30 minutes of trailers and commercials. Meh... who cares.
