Well in regards to the cinema I know In Australia that most indepenants cinemas and small chain cinemas charge less then the mainstream chains. For example Event Cinemas charges $14 for a student ticket and $16 for an adult and $12 for a child. They're a main chain and thats the most expensive it gets.
However smaller cinema I often go to charges 14 for an Adult and 12 for a student and 10 for a child. Which obviously gets a lot cheaper over the year. And an even small one charges 2 dollars less per ticket again.
Furthermore another cinema right near my Event Cinemas is a single screened cinema which charges only 5 per ticket, unfortunately you don't have any choice as to what movie is showing on the night for obivous reasons.
Another case is point in regards to Australia is that we have cheap tuesdays. So all tickets are around 2 dollars less every tuesday.
So in regards to saving money with the cinema I think a lot of it has to do with picking the right cinema, or going on tuesdays. Admittadly some of the cheaper cinemas are further away from where I live but since I travel via public transport I have a fixed travel cost of 20 Dollars Australian every week so it doesn't cost me anymore beyond some extra travel time.
Finally a lot of Cinemas here have loyalty systems which allow you to watch a movie for free after seeing a certain amount of movies. Although I think the best option is to simply have dinner before you go, so you don't need to buy the insanely expensive food at the cinema.
Anyway I don't know how much thats relevant to America, but thats how I save money.
