SECOND-RUN DISCOUNT CINEMAS IN US US Map & Phone & Address
Second-run movies are the same Hollywood releases that you see in the shopping malls and downtown cinemas, after they’ve finished their first runs in those major venues. Well before they make their way to pay-per-view and videocassettes, they often show up at some of the theaters listed below. Not only do you get one last chance to see recent hits you may have missed still on the big screen but the tickets usually cost less than half of those at the big-deal houses.
Cameo Theatre
14 Columbian St, Weymouth; (617) 335-2777
This two-screen theater was struggling for awhile until they lowered ticket prices to $1, all seats, all shows. Now, the place is frequently jammed; get there early if you want a seat on a Friday or Saturday night. Second-run flicks are shown on screens that are half the size of the original theater, but still bigger than the ones at your local plex. And nothing beats those ticket prices.
