Century Theaters
Three locations in the Portland area.  Admission is only $6 only to the first film screening of the day.  For example, if Blockbuster A plays at 10:30am and 11:00am, it's the 10:00am screening when the ticket only costs $6 (plus any mark-up if it is a 3-D presentation).  Accordingly, if a movie only has two screenings for the day, say at 7:00pm and 10:00pm, the 7:00pm flick will only cost $6.

Regal Cinemas Regal Cinemas on the cheap?  It can be done...

First off, buy the Entertainment book and use the $2 off coupons; there is even a free admission coupon on your birthday (for any movie, including 3-D presentations!)  Then, be sure to sign up for the free Regal Crown Club.  Everytime you go and present your card for tracking, you accumulate points.  Get enough and receive a voucher for a free popcorn, soda pop, or even a movie ticket.  Plus, everytime you see a movie on a Tuesday and show your Regal card, you get a voucher for a $2 small popcorn (you used to get popcorn free every Tuesday, but Regal has done away with this and now offers the popcorn for a buck)!  Sign up for the card here.

The chain also offers 'Regal Value Days,' when movie tickets are only $5 all day long on Tuesdays only, and at select theaters.  The theaters in the Portland area are Hilltop 9, Wilsonville Stadium 9, Tigard Cinemas 11, Sherwood Stadium 10, Evergreen Parkway Stadium 13, Movies on TV Stadium 16 and Vancouver's Cinema 99 and City Center.

In the summer time, they show children's movies for $1 admission at select theaters on Tuesdays and Wednesdays beginning at 10:00am for 'Summer Movie Express.'
Valley Cinema Pub Located in Beaverton and showing second-run flicks on 3 screens.  Admission is just $4 for all ages and all movie times.  Serves beer and pizza, and only cash is accepted.
