Marcus Theatres Adds Free Movie Perk For MN And WI Members

Ever since the launch and eventual fall of the infamous MoviePass, movie theater chains have been offering their own versions of subscription-based movie plans. That includes Marcus Theatres, which operates dozens of cinema locations across Minnesota and Wisconsin.

At a time when prices are going up and perks are quietly disappearing across many industries, Marcus Theatres is doing something refreshingly rare. They are actually adding value.

What Marcus Movie Club Already Offers

For $9.99 a month, Marcus Movie Club members receive one movie credit that can be used for any standard showing. Those credits roll over as long as your membership stays active, which is a major perk for people who do not make it to the theater every month.

Members also get 20 percent off food and beverages, excluding alcohol, which adds up quickly if popcorn is your obsession. On top of that, Marcus recently introduced an extra free movie each month, giving members even more reason to keep their subscription active.

A New Free Perk for Movie Club Members

Each month, Marcus hosts what they call a Mystery Movie. It is a screening of a film that is set to be released later that same week, offered at a discounted price. The twist is simple. You buy a ticket without knowing what movie you are about to see.

In general, the title remains a closely guarded secret. Marcus says even their theater staff does not know what the Mystery Movie will be ahead of time. The only clue they provide is a content heads-up, such as whether the film falls into the horror category.

New Perk For Minnesota Movie Lovers

Now comes the best part for Movie Club members in Minnesota and Wisconsin. That monthly Mystery Movie is officially free for subscribers.

This added perk is especially appealing for movie fans who enjoy seeing a wide range of films, including smaller releases or titles they might not normally pick. And if the mystery does not land for you, it did not cost anything to give it a shot.

Marcus has already confirmed that the upcoming Mystery Movie on December 22 will be a horror title. Whether it ends up being a sleeper hit or a swing and a miss, Movie Club members get to find out without spending an extra dime.

For moviegoers across the Northland who still enjoy the big screen experience, this update quietly turns Marcus Movie Club into one of the better entertainment subscriptions around.
