AMC is restoring and re-opening the Mainstreet Theatre (1400 Main St.) in the Power & Light District and the Kansas City-based theater chain is celebrating with Free Movie Day on Tuesday, April 28. We have 25 ‘admit-two’ passes for the first 25 people to sign up using the entry form below.

The Mainstreet originally opened in October 1921 as a vaudeville and movie house. Having closed in the mid 1980s, it will have its grand opening on May 1, 2009, and now features an all-digital projection, six-screen movie theater. There are three traditional auditoriums and three Cinema Suites (for the plush in-theater dining experience), plus The Marquee Bar & Grill for drinks before and after the show. This is a true historical gem in downtown Kansas City. Back in its heyday, the theater hosted live performers such as Cab Calloway, Charlie Chaplin, and the Marx Brothers.

There are six screens at the theater, and AMC is showing “Twilight,” “Tropic Thunder,” “Quantum of Solace,” “Seven Pounds,” “Valkyrie,” and “Last Chance Harvey.”

Passholders will have the option to see any one of the movies mentioned.

Quantum of Solace, 7:30

Last Chance Harvey, 7:45

Twilight, 8:00

Tropic Thunder, 8:30

The first 25 people to sign up below will receive an email with instructions on how to print off their passes!
