MOVIE-GOING INFO:
Movie Theaters in Costa Rica are called "Cine"
Costa Rica has many first run movies though they don't always come out right away/upon release (like Mamma Mia which came to Costa Rica MONTHS after it was released!).
Most movies are in English with Spanish Subtitles "Doblada". “Hablada en Español” is in Spanish with English Subtitles [though not always with the subtitles so be wary if you don't habla Español all that well!). A lot of movies for kids are “Hablada en Español”.
Movies in Costa Rica usually change on Friday.
Wednesday is Discount Day (except for VIP & iMax theatres)
It's hard to go back to regular theatres once you've done the VIP Theatre!!
DETAILS below!!!
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
SPECIALS:
“Movie Discount Wednesdays”
(I believe throughout the country, movie theatres offer these special Discounts every Wednesday - varying from 30-50% off REGULAR FULL PRICED tickets - though only usually on Standard theatres like iMax or VIP theatres).“Movie Discount Wednesdays”

• D-BOX - Cinemark even has a theatre designated (I need to check into it if it's a theatre with all seats - or just some seats - 12 Chairs in the BACK as it looks like with the D-Box system that gives motion to your chair during those types of movies (one of which was for "San Andreas" about a 9.0 earthquake in California [to actually experience what that feels like could really freak one out! I KNOW it would me having lived through numerous California and Costa Rica earthquakes!!!]) (Adults - 7,500-c • Seniors & Kids - 7,100-c)
(NOTE - You can ONLY do this via INTERNET EXPLORER 10.
There is a 150-c Service Charge•Convenience Fee attached to EACH ticket ordered online).
• Select the movie you want.
• Select the Date
• Press the Time and it goes to "Compra" = Purchase
• Indicate how many in each category (Adulto = Adult • Nino = Child • Tercera = Senior [65+]). Make sure the total is accurate as any mistakes ARE YOURS!!!
• Press "Seleccionar Butacas" = Select Seats
• Then it takes you to Seat Selection but be WARNED - they ONLY give you 5 MINUTES to choose which seat. Brown are seats that are ALREADY reserved (meaning all the others are open) so just click your cursor on to the seat you desire and it will turn Green. NOTE - a couple times I tried doing this for just 1 seat, they wouldn't allow me to select a seat where there was 1 seat empty in between but it wouldn't even let me take 1 of 2 empty seats for the D-Box seat. If all they have left is 1 or 2 seats - you HAVE to either leave 2 seats open - or be ordering 2 seats. Butaca(s) = Armchair • Disponible = Available • Reservada = Reserved. If you aren't fast enough and time out you'll have to COMPLETELY start over - "Volver a Comenzar" = Back to Start. Hmmm!!
• "Siguiente" = Next
• Then start putting your credit card info:
• "Correo Electrónico" = Email
• "Nombre tarjeta habiente, como aparece en la tarjeta" = Name as it appears on the card
