Not sure how long this offer has been around, but I couldn't find a thread for it and thought it was worth noting --

I was in Best Buy this evening, and saw that they have a bunch of titles (most, but not all, horror-related) with Movie Cash in them for Priest (which opens this weekend). All were on sale for $12.99, and the Movie Cash is worth "up to $12 ticket value". Since my girlfriend and I were planning on seeing it anyway, for me it was essentially like pre-paying part of the tickets and getting two blu-rays for $0.99/each.

I didn't make a list, so there may be a few more titles that I'm missing, but the titles that I remember seeing were:

The Road
Zombieland
30 Days of Night
Resident Evil
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Resident Evil: Exitnction
Underworld
Underworld: Evolution
Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Angels and Demons
Hellboy
The Fifth Element

Note that the movie ticket is tied to the sticker on the front (I haven't opened my blu-rays yet to check, but I suspect the code is printed on the underside of the sticker -- it says "see back of sticker for details"), so copies of the titles without stickers on them will presumably not contain the movie ticket. Worth noting because the store that I was in had put copies of some of the titles without the sticker on the display rack mixed in with the ones with stickers.

I was going to ask for what format it was for and read your Note, you might want to include that in the title for people (like myself) that don't read the whole post all the time.

I hope there are more movies to choose from because the only one I believe I don't have from the list is Underworld Evolution. I was thinking about watching the movie in the theaters and if I jump on this it would be a sure thing.

Haha, oops -- fixed it. I stopped buying DVDs a while ago, so I tend to forget that another format exists now.

There may have been a couple more (like I said, I was typing the list from memory), or there may have been titles that my store was out of. Worth checking out, anyway.

I grabbed The Road and Zombieland myself. I've wanted The Road, and while I've seen better prices than $12.99 for Zombieland (it's $11.99 on Amazon right now), I figured that the movie ticket more than makes up for any extra that I paid.

I really wish movie studious would implement this more often, especially with theater prices getting outrageous with the inclusion of 3D and iMAX. I used to go to the theater a lot but now I question myself "should I just wait to buy it" since a lot of movies are coming out in about 3 months.

More movie cash/movie tickets? lol

Over the last month I've gotten 2 free Cars 2 tickets, 3 free Pirates 4 tickets, 3 free Bridesmaids tickets, and 1 free X-Men First class ticket. May bite on this too..though Priest doesnt seem to look that great imo..but for free may see it.

Haha, yup. I've gotten in on the Cars 2 and Pirates 4 tickets. Wasn't the least bit interested in Bridesmaids. Where was the X-Men offer? I'd probably jump on that one if it's a good deal.

Priest looks . . . entertaining to watch on a large screen. I'm not expecting an incredible movie, or even one that I'll ever want to see a second time, but I also don't expect to be bored.

I kind of wonder what the strategy actually is on these movie ticket deals. They've essentially killed all of their profit on either the ticket or the blu-ray, or possibly even a significant portion of both. Not sure how it's profitable for them? But at the same time, I'm not complaining one bit.

I just got done searching for what FlamedLiquid mentioned, I believe the only way to get the first class ticket is to buy the xmen trilogy. I didn't see it mentioned any other way to obtain it.

Ah, I bought that back when it first came out, so I guess I'm out of luck on that one then. Oh well.

Do we know what movie theater chains the movie cash is for? I saw the same thing tonight, considered picking up something, but don't want to be out of luck if it's not the theater chains in town.

I was just at the Best Buy in Mall of America, and they have a bunch of Resident Evil Blus for 7.99 and the Priest Movie Cash on them. RE Apocalypse Blu also has it and is also 7.99. If you're planning on seeing Priest its well worth it!

Yeah, it's on the back of the sticker. That's how the Fast Five movie cash worked. You'd be better off not even trying to peel the sticker off, but instead just remove the plastic wrap with it still attached and get the code that way. My sticker ripped when I was peeling it off and I lost one character in the middle. I had to go through the alphabet until I hit the right letter when redeeming.

I was in Walmart earlier and saw the X-Men cash on some blu-rays. I can't remember which films, but they weren't X-Men.
edit: Predator was one them.


I still have an extra Fast Five code I haven't redeemed if anyone wants to trade one of their multiples for Bridesmaids or X-Men. Send me a pm if interested.

Yeah, I saw this as well. RE & RE: Apocalypse for $7.99 each with ticket.

I 'just' got the X-Men First Class ticket today when I bought the Predator bluray at Best Buy. Did the trade in a dvd get $5 off thing. Predator came to $4.99 plus tax. So with the free ticket...............hell of a deal.

Also if the first 2 Resident Evils are only $7.99 and come with tickets..I'll bite for sure.

Thanks op, the wife wants to see Priest and we wouldn't mind owning Zombieland. Throw in the fact that I have $15 in reward certs, and this is definitely a win for me.

Huh. The RE titles were marked $12.99 at the store that I was at, but to be fair I didn't actually try buying them, so they may have rung up for less. I may have to check a different store and see what I find before I open the movies that I bought (though I really want the ones that I got more than the RE movies, so maybe I should just keep them).

Oh, nice. I have the old version of Predator, but this would be a good excuse to upgrade. Was it marked on the outside of the package? I didn't see any stickers or anything on the copies at the store that I went to, but I may have to check another store for that too.

yep it had a sticker on the outside of the package. The code was under the sticker.

The MOA store has some signs out showing the 7.99 price for a lot of movies with a display in front next to the new releases. I don't think that RE Apocalypse was up front with all the others, but there was a sign under it in the alphabetically arranged section. I don't know if this price is nationwide.

Side Note: Make sure to check the case, not all of them have the Priest sticker.

Hmmm, Dracula might be worth it if I can trade my DVD for $5 off as well. I just get the feeling Priest is going to suck, so waiting on a lower price is what I'm leaning towards.

Last week I picked up Resident Evil + RE: Appoclypse for $7.99 EACH (so they were "free" because I already want to go see Priest). To top it off, I used giftcards from trading in 3 epic mickey's, AND got RZ points too

I also picked up casino for 7.99 (which had a Fast/Furious 5 ticket) and I already had one "free" ticket to FF5. Funny though, when I went to the movies (I have a crown card) and it printed out another free ticket to use ANYTIME.

Score.
