In an age of endless scrolling, streaming platforms, and individual screens, the cinema remains one of the few places where people can still share laughter, excitement, and unforgettable moments together in real time. For many Filipinos, going to the movies was more than just watching a film, it was about coordinating schedules, booking tickets in advance, planning what to wear, or continuing conversations over food right after. Moviegoing was often more about spending time together than it was about the film itself.
While entertainment habits have evolved over the years, certain films spark the same kind of joy that brings people together, reminding audiences why moviegoing remains a favorite pastime for many. Through premium cinema formats, convenient booking options, and on-ground experiences that go beyond the big screen, Ayala Malls continues to make those moments more accessible and enjoyable.
“Today, we can watch videos anytime, anywhere. But nothing quite compares to gathering around a movie and experiencing it together,” says Mae Dichupa, Ayala Malls’ head of marketing and consumer experience. “At Ayala Malls, we see how a movie outing can bring families together, reunite friends, and create shared moments that people remember long after the movie ends. That’s why we’re creating more ways for people to enjoy the experience together – from Red Carpet Mondays and themed activations inspired by the films to comfortable cinemas that make every movie date fun, memorable, and something to look forward to again and again.”
Running from July 20 to November 30, 2026, Red Carpet Mondays brings back Ayala Malls Cinemas’ Buy One, Get One movie tickets every Monday*. The promotion turns the start of the week into a shared night out, giving people another reason to gather, connect, and create memories with family and friends.
This season’s most anticipated releases offer plenty of opportunities to rediscover the big screen experience. Disney’s live-action Moana (July 8) invites families to immerse themselves in the adventure on Ayala Malls’ premium cinema formats, including the larger-than-life A-Giant screens and the premium comfort of A-Luxe theaters. Marvel fans can expect full mall takeovers and special group ticket bundles for the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 29). Horror has always been better experienced in a crowd, and for Insidious: Out of the Further (August 19), Ayala Malls will introduce the “Last Show Standing” challenge – a late-night screening designed to turn jump scares and screams into unforgettable shared memories with friends.
Ultimately, moviegoing remains one of the most meaningful ways for people to gather and connect, and Ayala Malls is proud to provide a space where those moments happen. With premium cinemas, blockbuster releases, immersive events, and the return of Red Carpet Mondays, Ayala Malls is giving Filipinos more reasons to come together and make moviegoing part of their routines again.
