Beat Unseasonable Billings Temps with a Movie This Weekend
Unseasonably warm weather this week means you might be looking for something to do that s not outside in the heat. Movies are a great option, with that ice-cold theater air conditioning, comfy seats and a refreshing, oversized soda to wash down a bucket of delicious, salty, buttery popcorn.
The Hollywood movie machine has been coming back to post-COVID life, with new releases A Quiet Place Part II and Cruella raking in around $100 million over Memorial Day weekend. Both feature films are now showing on AMC screens in Billings. If you re looking for other options, you have some great choices.
