Birthdays at Malco
Malco Theatres have special party rooms which can be reserved for birthday parties. There are two packages from which you can choose from:
- Party Plan 1
- $12 pp for a ticket, drink, and box of popcorn (afternoon)
- $14 pp for a ticket, drink, and box of popcorn (evening)
- Minimum of 10 guests, maximum of 25
- Party Plan 2 (private screening)
- $12 pp for a ticket, drink, and box of popcorn
- Minimum of 25 guests, no maximum
The major difference between the two is whether you want the whole cinema to yourself, or share it with others. We definitely think it’s worth hiring out the whole cinema even if the ticket prices are a bit higher!

Discount Tickets
We were only able to find a single way to reduce the cost of your movie ticket price with Malco. And it’s through buying tickets in bulk.
Head to their Gift Shop, and you’ll be greeted with a few items which you can choose from. Here’s whats currently available:
- Reloadable Gift Cards – These aren’t really discount tickets, but they can be a great gift if you know someone who loves movies and loves Malco
- Malco VIP Tickets – This is the good stuff. $400 dollars will get you a book of 50 tickets, which equals $8 per ticket. That’s the smallest option, unfortunately.
- Malco Concession Vouchers – Same deal as above. $450 will get you 50 tickets which are each valid for a popcorn and drink combo, with unlimited refills on both!
Concession vouchers are valid at any location, at any time. And the best thing about them is they never expire!
