FREE Movie Screenings

It’s a LOT easier then people think to see FREE movies BEFORE they come out. There are many ways to win passes via Radio Stations, Website giveaways, Theatre giveaways etc…

But this about how to get the passes without having to win them.

There is a website called Wild About Movies that is somewhat difficult to navigate, but often has information on free screenings in your area. Up until recently you could print passes directly from links on this site. A few screenings may still be that way, however, recently the FREE movie screening gods have for the most part switched over to GoFoBo. Just go to gofobo and type in your zip code, every screening in that area will come up. When you select the screening you want, one of two things can happen.

1. It may say something to the effect of, this screening is full, please use a gofobo rsvp code or try another screening.

2. It may say passes available Click here to print passes.


If it asks you for a gofobo rsvp code. I have had some luck with just doing a google search. For example if I’m looking for Shutter Island passes for Boston, just google Shutter Island Boston gofobo code. A few times I have lucked out and gotten a code for certain movies. However occasionally if you get the code, they may not have any passes left, so it’s hit or miss. The most passes you can get at once is 2, so if you plan on going in a group, call your friends immediately and have them get passes asap, they do go quick, especially if you don’t need a code.

The MOST important part of all this is if you do manage to get passes, you MUST arrive early. The passes are on a first come, first serve basis. They always give out more passes then necessary and most shows fill up QUICK! I arrived at my most recent screening an hour and a half early and the theatre was mostly full, I ended up sitting in the way back, which I hate, but hey it’s FREE. I have heard stories of people arriving 2 hours early, seeing lines around the corner and not being able to get in. So I suppose the best thing you can do is judge your arrival time based on how popular of a movie you suspect it will be.

I have also been able to score an occasional pass here or there by just googling “free movie screenings” and trying a couple of sites that come up. Just be mindful of sites that try to get you to sign up for free trials, and sites that may not be legit etc…

Happy Hunting!
