Regal Summer Movie Express 2026 brings $1 tickets Monday-Thursday
Regal Summer Movie Express 2026 puts $1 tickets on the board Monday through Thursday at Regal Cinemas locations this summer, with San Antonio and Live Oak showtimes starting at 11 a.m. For families hunting for a weekday outing that does not push the budget, that is the cleanest deal in the city’s summer movie slate.
The chain’s schedule is simple: $1 admission, weekday screenings, and location-specific titles that can vary from theater to theater. Regal’s website has the full details, which matters because the promotion is not a single-city event but a chainwide offer with local differences built in.
San Antonio And Live Oak
At the San Antonio and Live Oak theaters, the 11 a.m. start gives morning moviegoers a predictable slot during the week. That timing puts Regal directly into the same summer lane as other discount programs already aimed at families, not premium nights out.
Santikos Entertainment will bring back its Free Summer Movies series on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with 10 a.m. showtimes at all locations and tickets sold only in person on the day of the show. Seats are first-come, first-served, which turns that free offer into a real line-early proposition for anyone who wants it.
Cinemark's 1.75 Tickets
Participating Cinemark locations will offer $1.75 tickets to select movies as part of Summer Movie Clubhouse, with screenings beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesdays. Cinemark is also trimming concessions, with $1 off all children's snack packs and $1 off all sizes of popcorn and drink combos.
Three theater chains pushing summer family pricing at once is the point: Regal’s $1 deal is the cheapest named ticket price in the group, but the actual value depends on the local schedule and the title playing at each site. Families who want the lowest-cost option should check the theater listing before heading out, because the movie lineup can change by location and the morning start times vary by chain.
Regal's Full Details
Regal’s promotion is the one to watch if you want the simplest weekday plan: show up Monday through Thursday, pay $1, and build around an 11 a.m. start in San Antonio and Live Oak. In a summer full of discount programming, that kind of straightforward pricing is the kind theater chains use to fill seats before midday heat and bigger-ticket evening habits take over.
