Wish every bad movie night was this good...

Went to the movies last night--3 of us. Paid for 1 ticket & used 2 earned free tickets. Got a free soda & popcorn from the Regal card. 10 minutes into it & the movie stops. Mgt came out & gave everybody in the theatre a free ticket. We left the auditorium & stood in line to turn turn our "free" tickets into the next showing. Cst. Service gave us 3 more tickets + 1 more (cause they said we were nice). Waited till the next showing & handed the attendant our newly earned free tickets-->he told us he didn't need them, only our stubs from the previous show. Final price for 10 tickets, 1 popcorn & 1 soda = $10. Thank you Biltmore Grande for making what could have been a lousy evening into a fun one with a good profit!
