Have you heard to Gofobo before? No? Well let me tell you what it is and how to take advantage of it for some free movies/date nights/get-togethers. Gofobo is a site that manages pre-release screenings of movies so they can generate some feedback and hype for the movie before it even comes out to the general public. It's literally free. You sign up, you show up, you get in, you watch movie. You can even buy some popcorn if you want. What they get out of it just some hype and advertisement so when the movie actually opens, people will want to go and see it. Some screenings will actually pay you $10 to show up. I went and watched Last Vegas before it came out in 2013.
Too good to be true? What's the catch. The only thing is that the movies are never on a popular theater-going day = Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The movies are really only Monday-Thursdays sometime between 5pm-11pm or so. Not easy to do if you have school or work. Also, the movies are shown at specific theaters so you will have to go to them; they will not be going to you. Lastly, there are some age restrictions to the movies. For example: some must be 18+ for R movies, some require you to bring a teenagers 13-17 in order to qualify.
To use this, just go to
Gofobo and put in your zip code. You can also sign up for emails that are tailored to your area. Just make sure you make note of date, time, instructions, print out the ticket, and show up early. If it gets full, you're not getting in of course. But last time I went, I went kind of late but still made it in before the movie started. It just depends how full it gets when you get there. That's it! Have fun.
