Malco sets $3 summer movie series for Oxford families
A family of four can catch Malco's Wednesday summer movies for $12 before tax. The nine-week run starts June 3 at 10 a.m.
Malco is turning Wednesday mornings into one of the cheapest family outings in Oxford, with each Midweek at the Malco ticket set at $3.00 plus tax. Using the industry’s $10.53 average ticket price as a benchmark, a family of four saves about $30.12 before tax on the admission alone, a meaningful gap for Lafayette County parents trying to stretch summer budgets.
The nine-week series begins Wednesday, June 3, at 10 a.m. and runs each Wednesday through July 29. The lineup is built around kid-friendly titles and familiar animated favorites: Boss Baby opens the series, followed by Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, Dog Man, Over the Hedge, Trolls: World Tour, The Bad Guys, Kung Fu Panda, The Bad Guys 2 and The Croods.
Families who want a specific film will need to move quickly, because tickets go on sale one week before each screening date. Malco is also pairing the bargain price with a Sensory Cinema auditorium at participating locations, with lights up and sound down, which widens the appeal for children and moviegoers who do better in a calmer theater setting.
In Mississippi, the participating theaters include Oxford Commons Cinema Grill, along with DeSoto Cinema Grill in Southaven, Tupelo Commons Cinema Grill, Corinth Cinema, Columbus Cinema and Grandview Cinema in Madison. Malco said a portion of each $3 ticket benefits Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital in Jackson through Children’s of Mississippi, giving the summer series a charitable purpose alongside the low admission cost.
For Oxford families, the timing matters. The Wednesday 10 a.m. schedule lands well outside Oxford Commons Cinema Grill’s evening rule that requires anyone under 17 to be accompanied by an adult after 8 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The program also fits a long-running Malco tradition: the Memphis-based chain says it was founded by the Lightman family in 1915 and now operates more than 37 locations across Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Louisiana and Missouri.
