This week’s Summer Staycation Spotlight won’t take your hours away from home to an outdoor adventure. Instead, it’s a way to escape from the sweltering heat and humidity or summer. During select days in June and July, Premiere LUX Cine & Pizza Pub, located at 220 West Alexander Street in Lake Walden Square, is showing free movies for families to enjoy as part of its Summer Kid Series.
Every Wednesday and Thursday, beginning June 7, families can sit back and relax in a comfortable reclining seat and catch a free flick. The movie will start at 10 a.m. on the first screen. “We’ll stagger the movie on our eight screens and run them five minutes apart, we have eight screens,” said the theater’s Managing Director Marcus Boyee.
The schedule includes:
6/7 & 6/8 DC League of Super Pets
6/14 & 6/15 Hotel Transylvania 4
6/21 & 6/22 Bad Guys
6/28 & 6/29 Minions: Rise of Gru
7/5 & 7/6 Paws of Fury
7/12 & 7/13 Sonic the Hedgehog 2
7/19 & 7/20 Lyle, Lyle Crocodile
7/26 & 7/27 Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Boyee said the annual promotion is a way to thank the community for its support. “It’s a way for families who may not have a big entertainment budget this summer to stretch dollars,” he said. “Last year we drew a crowd each week but this year we’re all coming out of COVID and I think it’s going to be even more popular.”
While the movie is free, its concession stand will be open and guests can purchase popcorn and snacks to nosh on during the flick. A kid’s movie meal includes a kid-sized fountain drink, kid-sized popcorn and a small fruit snack for $6.75 plus tax. Drink refills at its self-serve soda dispensers are free.
