AS Movie Club watches The Smashing Machiene

🎬 Welcome to the Atlantic Station Movie Club!
We meet every Tuesday night at Regal Atlantic Station to watch a movie and hang out afterward for food, drinks, and conversation. Think of it like a book club—just without the homework! We aim to create a casual, inclusive environment for everyone, whether you're a dedicated cinephile or just enjoy a fun night at the movies.

We’ll wait there until the movie’s printed start time. Then we’ll purchase tickets and hang out in the lobby for 15–20 minutes while trailers play. If you prefer, feel free to head into the theater early—we tend to see the same trailers every week!

After the movie, we will go to the VIP area of the theater for our social. To get there facing in from the entrance it will be all the way to the left down the hallway.

You normally need a VIP ticket to get into this area but if you get separated and tell the attendant you are a part of this group they should let you in. Regal has a bar that will be open.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
• How long has this group been going?
We started the Atlantic Station Movie Club in February 2023 and have been meeting almost every Tuesday since.
• How many people usually attend?
Attendance varies depending on the movie. On average, we see 10–20 people each week, with bigger releases sometimes drawing up to 30 or more. Check out the Photos section to see some of our past meetups.
• How do we pick the movies?
We typically choose the biggest new release each week—usually whatever premiered the weekend before. When there are multiple strong options, we hold a vote in our Discord to let the group decide. For big blockbuster releases, showtimes and ticket availability are often posted in advance, making it easier to plan weeks ahead. However, in weeks with smaller or limited releases, showtimes may not be confirmed until the Monday or Tuesday before—so occasionally, we have to wait until then to finalize our pick. Either way, we always aim to choose something fun and worth discussing afterward!
• Are you affiliated with Regal or Atlantic Station?
No—we’re not run by Regal Cinemas or Atlantic Station in any official way. We’re just a group of movie lovers who enjoy seeing films together. We do partner with them for SWAG occasionally and to use the VIP space.
• What does it cost to attend?
There’s no fee to join the group or participate in the meetup. However, attendees are responsible for the cost of their movie ticket and any food or drinks during the social. See the Tickets section above for pricing and the Social section for restaurant info.
• How is the group funded?
Meetup began charging $300 per year to host events. While many groups left the platform, we’ve stayed because it remains one of the best places for visibility. This year, we asked our members for support—and the community came through. If you’d like to contribute to help keep the group running, please talk to an organizer.
• How can I help out?
Right now, the group is mostly organized by one or two volunteers. We’d love more help with planning, hosting, or simply welcoming new members. If you’re interested in contributing, just let us know!
