Half-price Harry
Although we’ve been shouting ourselves hoarse about it in our weekly 7 days in Beijing newsletter, it seems that a lot of people still don’t know that Tuesday is half-price movie day at all the cinemas in Beijing. That’s right, if you don’t have anything planned for this evening you can head over to your local cinema and catch the recently released Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. for between 30 to 40 kuai.

btw females are half price on Thursdays at the Wanda International Cinema ... looks like despite DVDs, movie-going is going great guns these days.
However, I can't stand the fact that they have fresh-popped popcorn -- ALL of it sweetened
down with sweet popcorn. Salty rocks.

There is a nice cinema in Wangjing (in the same complex as Ito Yokado, near Jingshun Lu at the Dashanzi intersection) that has some films in English. Their website (Chinese only) is
