Bookmark and Share

Buying Tip:   Today’s Studio Movie Grill Fort Worth Groupon deal is one you don’t want to wait to buy if you are interested. This has been offered in the past, and last time the deal sold out very fast!  

60% OFF At Studio Movie Grill!

Groupon has launched a savings offer of 60% OFF Studio Movie Grill Tickets  ~ 5 locations to choose from in DFW (including Arlington). When you buy today’s Groupon for $5, you will get a gift certificate for a movie ticket and a soda valid until November 15, 2012

There doesn’t seem to be a limit on the number of tickets you can purchase, so this is a great offer if you want to bring the whole family or go multiple times.

How to get the Offer:

  1. Go here to sign up for today’s 60% OFF deal.
  2. Select Fort Worth as Your Groupon City.                       
  3. Buy your Groupon by Thursday.   You do have until November 15 to use your Groupon.  Since there is a limited quantity of these certificates available, I would recommend not waiting too long to make your purchase, though.
