Mother's Day Movie Special: Treat Mom to a Memorable Day at Alamo Drafthouse!

In case you weren’t aware, Mother’s Day is on May 12th this year. That’s just a few short weeks away, which is not a lot of time to plan something as awesome as your amazing mother deserves. Good thing we make it easy to plan possibly the greatest Mother’s Day in the history of mothers.

As we all know, a great Mother’s Day starts with great movies, and our Moms Love Movies lineup features a wide range of mom-approved classics. You can escape to the sun-dappled, ABBA-scored Greek isles in MAMMA MIA!.

Or maybe stopping by the suburbs of Baltimore for a little motherly murder in John Waters’ SERIAL MOM is more your speed?

We’ve even got a slightly overly attached son caring for his mother the best way he knows how in Alfred Hitchcock’s PSYCHO. We recommend seeing them paired with our tasty brunch menu, because there really is nothing better than sipping a mimosa while Meryl Streep sings “Money, Money, Money”.

If you really want to make it a special day (and why wouldn’t you, doesn’t your mom deserve a special day?) then book some seats to our exclusive Mother’s Day Feast screening of MAMMA MIA!, showing at select theaters only. We’re pairing the delightful mother-daughter, mystery-dad musical with a three-course prix fixe menu, including Herb Cheese Toast, a Chicken Shawarma Couscous Bowl, and Pineapple Toffee Jarred Cake. 

In addition to this light, refreshing, yet totally satisfying feast, every attendee will walk away with our newest must have merch – our Alamo Blossom Mug.

Made of stylish milk glass and featuring a gorgeous floral edition of our logo by our very own Kat Schober, our Alamo Blossom Mug is a fantastic way to brighten up your mom’s morning routine (or anyone for that matter, it’s not a Mother’s Day exclusive). You can order our new mug online via the Alamo Gift Shop for only $18, but if you get a full set of four you can save 10% off your order.

You (or your mom, or any qualifying adult) could even win a FREE trip to paradise by entering our Mother’s Day Getaway Sweepstakes. Head over HERE to enter by 5/12 and you and a guest could be jetting off for a four-night stay at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya all-inclusive resort.

Of course, you can’t go wrong with an Alamo Drafthouse gift card. It’s one of the best ways to show you care, because it comes with Film, Food, and Fun in one convenient package. Besides, moms love going to the movies with their kids, so there’s a decent chance she’ll use it to take to Alamo Drafthouse. That’s called a win, win, win. You can buy gift cards in any of our lobbies or online HERE.
