ANGELES CITY — Movie fans in Pampanga have three more Mondays this May to catch the Red Carpet Mondays promo at Ayala Malls MarQuee Cinemas, where buying one ticket gets another of equal value for free. The offer runs on May 11, 18, and 25, 2026, giving Kapampangans a budget-friendly reason to bring a friend, partner, or family member to the movies. With ticket prices rising across Metro Manila cinemas, this BOGO deal makes a night out feel less like a luxury and more like a regular weekly habit.
The MarQuee branch, located at the Cinema Level 3 ticket counters, is participating alongside select Ayala Malls nationwide. The promo excludes specialty cinema formats like 4DX, A-Luxe, and MyCinema, as well as the Bonifacio High Street location. Senior citizen and PWD discounts cannot be combined with the offer since the buy-one-get-one deal already represents a significant markdown.
How the Promo Works at MarQuee
Getting the deal is straightforward. Head to the Cinema Level 3 ticket counters at MarQuee Mall and purchase two tickets for the same film on the same day — the system automatically applies the discount, charging for only one. For those who prefer skipping queues, the Ayala All Access online platform accepts bookings where adding two tickets to the cart triggers the free ticket.
The promo applies to eligible films currently showing at MarQuee. A quick look at the daily screening schedule posted on the MarQuee Mall Facebook page helps plan the visit. Movie selections vary by location, but recent listings include titles like "The Mummy," "Mortal Kombat II," "Mandalorian: Grogu," and Filipino films such as "Almost Us" and "Midnight Girls". The Viber concierge at 0916-235-9649 also provides real-time schedule updates for those who prefer asking before heading out.
What's Showing and What's Excluded
The current film lineup at Ayala Malls Cinemas includes a mix of Hollywood sequels, local productions, and animated features. Moviegoers can catch Lee Cronin's "The Mummy," the action-packed "Speed Demon," or the family-friendly "The Sheep Detectives." For those seeking lighter fare, "Dandelion's Odyssey" and "Voice Message" offer alternatives to the usual blockbuster noise.
The promo excludes "The Devil Wears Prada 2," which plays only in regular screenings but does not qualify for the discount. Specialty cinema formats like 4DX, A-Luxe, and MyCinema are also off the table. The Bonifacio High Street location does not participate, but MarQuee — along with other provincial branches — remains fully included. A separate nostalgia offering, Viva Films' "Bagets," is currently showing in select Ayala branches with special rates as low as P180, and it qualifies for the Red Carpet Mondays promo when paired with another eligible film like "The Demon Prince".
How to Book Online Through Ayala All Access
The Ayala All Access platform, launched earlier this year, has simplified the online booking process. Moviegoers can visit www.ayalaallaccess.com, select MarQuee Mall as their preferred cinema, choose a movie and showtime, then pick their seats. To apply the Red Carpet Mondays promo, add two tickets for the same screening to the cart. The total should reflect payment for only one ticket before checkout.
Online booking also allows pre-ordering snacks from The Movie Snackbar, so popcorn and drinks are ready for pickup upon arrival. The platform accepts cashless payments via debit and credit cards. Some screenings even come with complimentary popcorn, depending on the branch and operating snack bar hours. For families with kids or couples planning a date night, booking ahead removes the uncertainty of sold-out shows, especially for popular titles showing on Monday evenings.
