Summer at the Cinema campaign offers free tickets!

A new summer campaign has been launched to tempt people back to the big screen in Cork with offers including free tickets!

With a wave of incredible blockbusters set to hit cinemas this summer, The Arc Cinema on North Main St is unveil its new Summer At The Cinema campaign – an initiative created in partnership with Coca-Cola exclusively for The Arc Cinema to reignite excitement for the big screen experience and reward loyal moviegoers.

At the heart of the campaign is a simple offer: customers who watch any four of twelve qualifying summer blockbusters will be gifted a complimentary return ticket to enjoy a film of their choice later in the year.

The campaign is about celebrating the shared experience of cinema at a time when awareness of major new releases is surprisingly low, despite Hollywood delivering one of the strongest summer slates in years.

“We know that, for many, the big screen has felt a little distant in recent years,” said Robert Corr, General Manager at The Arc Cinema.

“But this summer, Hollywood is bringing everything – from family favourites and action epics to sequels fans have been waiting years for. Summer At The Cinema is our way of saying ‘come back – there’s so much to see, and we’re here to make it even more rewarding’.”

The line-up includes the likes of 'How To Train Your Dragon’, ‘Elio’, ’28 Years Later’, ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’, ‘The Bad Guys 2’, ‘M3GAN 2.0’, and ‘Freakier Friday' – many of which are already on sale at ArcCinema.ie.

The Arc Cinema isn’t just about films — it’s about people. Whether it’s welcoming familiar faces on a weekly basis or helping first-time visitors feel at home, the emphasis is always on friendliness and service.

The cinema group is also active in the community, supporting local charities, schools, and events throughout the year.

“This isn’t just about ticket sales,” added Corr. “It’s about reintroducing the magic of cinema, reminding people that there’s a whole season of excitement ahead, and that we’re here to make them feel welcome every step of the way.”
