PHOENIX — If you're looking for something to do over the Labor Day weekend and want to beat the heat for a few hours, why not head to the movies?
Harkins Theatres is offering $5 movie tickets -- that includes new releases, 3-D movies, and its Cine 1 and Cine Capri auditoriums -- at all of its theaters from Friday, Aug. 30 to Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2019.

IMAX movies and "special programming" are not part of the promotion, according to a news release.
For comparison, pricing for movies at Harkins Theatre at Tempe Marketplace typically varies between $7-$14, depending if it is a normal screening, matinee, 3D, or in the Cine Capri auditorium. At its Scottsdale 101 Theatre, near the Loop 101 and Scottsdale Road, pricing varies between $8-$15.
Tickets are available at Harkins' website and at the theater box offices.
