Well, you’re not alone, and the folks at Harkins Theatres have an awesome program they run every summer just for kids! It’s called the Summer Movie Fun program, and it usually begins in April of every year. In February, Harkins announces a line up of 10 movies, that they’ll be playing over a 10 week period, just for kids, and only $10 per child. That’s only $1 per movie!
