The Super Mario Galaxy Movie: Cheap Tickets & Events for Families

If you’ve got kids like mine — especially teens who love anything video game-related — then you already know the new Super Mario Galaxy movie is going to be a big deal in your home.

Whether your crew is younger kids or teens, this is one of those movies everyone actually agrees on. And that doesn’t happen often.

What also doesn’t happen often? Movie deals this good right before a major release.

Why I’m Planning Ahead for This One

When a movie like this hits theaters, a few things always follow:

• Packed showtimes
• Higher ticket demand
• Extra spending on snacks and last-minute add-ons

And when you’re paying for multiple people, that total climbs fast.

So instead of scrambling opening weekend, I like to lock in tickets early — especially when there are solid discounts available.

Deal #1: My Go-To for Families (or Teens + Friends)

This is the one I’d use for my own crew or if my teens want to bring friends along:

Giftory – AMC Family Pack Deal

• Save 65% with code FAMILYMOVIE65
• Choose:
  • 4 tickets + popcorn for $42
  • OR 3 tickets + popcorn for $33.25

Instructions: Add the tickets to your cart and then put in the promo code.

For families with kids or teens, this just makes sense. You’re getting multiple tickets and popcorn for about what you’d normally pay for tickets alone.

How I’d use it:
Let the kids share the popcorn, skip the extra concession spending, and call it a win.

Get this deal! Remember to put in the code FAMILYMOVIE65.

Deal #2: Smaller Outings (or One-on-One Time)

This one is great if it’s just me and one of my teens, or even two teens going together:

Giftory – AMC Bundle Deal

• Save 50% with code AMCMOVIE50
• Includes:
  • 2 tickets
  • 2 drinks
  • 1 popcorn
• Total: $28

It’s simple, it’s affordable, and it keeps the whole outing from turning into a $50+ trip.

Instructions: Add the tickets to your cart and then put in the promo code.

How This Works for My Family (and Probably Yours Too)

What I like about deals like these is that they work whether:

• You’ve got younger kids excited for Mario
• You’ve got teens who want to go with friends
• Or you’re somewhere in between

In my house, it usually looks like:

• One planned family outing
• One “bring a friend” showing
• And me trying to keep the snack spending under control

These deals make all of that a lot more doable.

Final Thoughts

You don’t have to skip the fun movie nights just because ticket prices are high.

With a little planning, you can take your teens, younger kids, or the whole family to see something they’re genuinely excited about — and still feel good about what you spent.

And for a movie everyone agrees on? That’s worth planning ahead for.
