Cinemex Manía: Get Movie Tickets for 39 Pesos This October
Cinemex launched its Cinemex Manía promotional campaign in Mexico, offering movie tickets for 39 pesos across traditional and Premium 2D screenings from October 19 to 23, 2026, alongside discounted concession combos.
What does the Cinemex Manía promotion include and where does it apply?
The campaign provides admission for 39 pesos across all movies and throughout the entire day during the five-day window, according to merca20.com. Xataka México noted that tickets can be purchased either physically at theater ticket counters or digitally through the company’s website and mobile application. El Informador added that digital purchases may be subject to additional service fees.
The promotion is strictly limited to traditional and Premium auditoriums operating in the 2D format. According to terms outlined by merca20.com and Xataka México, the discount does not extend to 3D, IMAX, 4D, or ATMOS formats, nor does it apply to luxury concepts such as Market and Platino. The offer cannot be combined with any other active promotions, discounts, coupons, special preview screenings, or advance ticket sales.

Which films are featured in theaters during the campaign?
Audiences attending screenings during the promotional week have access to a varied lineup currently in rotation. Xataka México and El Informador listed titles such as Street Fighter, La Caída de la Ballena, and Shaun the Sheep: The Movie among the available options. La Crónica de Hoy also cited releases including Verity, Resident Evil: Noche cero, and Coyote vs. Acme, while noting that additional titles arrive in theaters on Thursday, October 22.
How do concession prices and combo packages compare during the event?
Alongside discounted admissions, the exhibition chain introduced special pricing for food and beverage items to supplement the moviegoing experience.
| Combo Package | Contents | Price (MXN) |
|---|---|---|
| Combo Cinemex Manía Para Uno | 1 medium classic popcorn, 1 medium soft drink | $155 |
| Combo Cinemex Manía Para Dos | 1 medium salted classic popcorn, 2 medium soft drinks, 1 order of nachos | $269 |
El Informador specified that customers who wish to alter the flavor of their classic popcorn incur an additional fee of 15 pesos, while substituting a soft drink for Fuze Tea adds 5 pesos per cup.
How does this pricing campaign measure up against competing theater offers?
The timing of Cinemex Manía coincides with broader market efforts to attract audiences facing rising entertainment costs. MiMorelia.com pointed out that rival chain Cinépolis rolled out its own promotional initiative titled “Entra al Más Allá” featuring tickets priced at 45 pesos, which runs from October 15 to November 11 to tie in with Halloween and Day of the Dead celebrations. While the Cinemex promotion undercuts that pricing by six pesos, its availability is restricted to a five-day span.
These promotional pushes arrive against a backdrop of ongoing recovery challenges for theatrical exhibition in Mexico. Data from the Cámara Nacional de la Industria Cinematográfica (Canacine) cited by merca20.com indicates that ticket sales fell to 203 million in 2025—a 6.86 percent drop compared to the previous year and a 42.29 percent decline from the 352 million tickets sold in 2019 prior to the pandemic. Compounding the pressure, the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (Inegi) recorded an annual ticket price increase of 15.45 percent in May 2025.
The promotion concludes on Friday, October 23, 2026. Patrons seeking to utilize the 39-peso ticket rate or the associated concession bundles are advised by El Informador to verify specific showtimes, theater participation, and seat availability through official ticketing channels before completing their purchases.
