Pluto TV is well known for offering free movies, TV shows, and live channels online, but now they are bringing free movies to local theaters this summer.
“The project is a part of Pluto’s ongoing Business Karma initiative, which aims to give back and pay it forward to local communities and businesses. Created in 2021, the “Free Movie Weekend” was designed to bolster local cinemas and encourage patrons to return to the movies after a harrowing year of closures and stay-at-home orders. To date, the program has teamed up to sponsor nearly 40 theaters in 30 different states, becoming a cherished event for theaters and Pluto TV alike as independent theaters continue their efforts to rebuild and the service reinforces its stronghold as a complementary and critical piece of the entertainment ecosystem,” Pluto TV said in a statement sent to Cord Cutters News.
“Pluto TV’s summer movie campaign has received an incredibly positive response year after year, and we are excited to highlight our extensive film offering once again,” said Amy Kuessner, EVP of Programming for Pluto TV. “By joining ‘Summer of Cinema’ with ‘Free Movie Weekends,’ Pluto TV is able to champion a love of blockbuster movies and allow audiences to experience the fun both at theaters and in their homes, all for free.”
