May 25th was a day filled with celebration and excitement as Cinemark opened its newest theatre at Memorial City Mall in Houston, Texas. Patrons dressed as their favorite character from “Pirates of the Caribbean” for a chance to win free movies for a year. Free Cinemark mouse pads and pens were also given away to the first 250 customers who purchased tickets that day. Over grand opening weekend, there were lots of activities that took place: special concession offers, meet and greet session with a Shrek look-alike, Kid’s Day complete with face/arm painting and a photo opportunity with a Jack Sparrow look-alike’, free promotional item give-a-ways (t-shirts, one sheets, magnets, hats, masks, etc), Various radio remotes, Caribbean trip give-a-ways, and even a premiere trip give-a-way to see I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.
