By Melissa Basgall, Editor & Publisher May 24, 2024

Summer vibes mean sun-kissed adventures, dreamy vacations, and epic movie magic! So, why not power down those screens and whisk the whole crew off to the theater for a cinematic escapade? 

Here's the reel deal to make sure your family's summer movie date is a blockbuster hit:

  • Pick the Perfect Flick! Check out what everyone loves and their ages. Animated movies usually score big, but there's a whole world of live-action comedies, adventures, and superhero blockbusters that can charm a diverse crowd. Dive into trailers online to suss out the movie's vibe and humor.
  • Snack Attack Battle Plan: Prepare for a cinematic feast without breaking the bank by packing your own snacks! Don't forget to stash a mix of sweet and savory bites, and keep the crew hydrated with reusable water bottles. Let the snacking begin!
  • Dress to Impress... Yourself! Dive into that movie night in style and comfort. Slip into your coziest threads, think breathable fabrics and roomy fits to keep cool. And don't forget those layers for those frosty cinema nights!
  • Get Ready to Play: Pack a mini game or a fun activity book for the little ones to keep them entertained before the movie starts or during those pesky commercial breaks.
  • Transform it into a Culinary Adventure! Spice up the fun by feasting before or treating yourselves to ice cream milkshakes after. It adds a touch of magic to the occasion and sets the stage for a lively chat about the movie.
