There’s something undeniably special about a trip to the cinema – the dimmed lights, the giant screen, and that unmistakable aroma of freshly popped popcorn drifting through the air. For many in Singapore, catching a film isn’t just about watching a movie – it’s about the experience. And right now, Cathay Cineplexes is giving moviegoers an irresistible reason to make that trip even sweeter.
In celebration of Singapore’s 60th anniversary, Cathay Cineplexes has rolled out a limited-time SG60 deal that’s hard to ignore. From now till 31 August 2025, when you buy a Medium Popcorn Combo, you can upsize both your popcorn and drink to Large for just $0.60. Yes, you read that right – sixty cents. That’s not even enough to buy a bottle of water at most convenience stores these days, yet here it gets you more snacks and more drink to enjoy during your movie.
Why This Deal is Worth Your Attention
Let’s be honest – movie snacks aren’t always the cheapest indulgence. A popcorn combo can sometimes feel like a splurge, especially if you’re just in the mood for a little treat. That’s why this promotion is such a rare find. For a tiny fraction of the combo price, you’re getting significantly more food and drink.
Think about it – a large popcorn means more buttery goodness to last throughout the movie (and possibly even the previews if you’re the impatient snacker type). Meanwhile, upgrading from a 22oz drink to a 32oz drink means fewer sips rationed and more time simply enjoying your beverage without worrying about running out halfway through the second act.
For couples or friends watching together, the upsized combo is also perfect for sharing. You get generous portions that keep everyone happy without needing to buy a second set.
Easy to Redeem, But Know the Rules
One of the nice things about this deal is that redeeming it is simple – you just have to purchase over the counter at any Cathay Cineplexes outlet. When you buy your Medium Popcorn Combo, tell the staff you’d like the SG60 upsized version for $0.60. They’ll handle the rest.
That said, it’s important to remember a few things:
-
This offer is only available before 6pm daily, so it’s perfect for matinee showtimes, early evening screenings, or even a cheeky weekday movie break.
-
You won’t be able to redeem it at self-service kiosks, online, or via mobile purchases – it’s strictly for counter transactions.
-
Stocks are limited, so if the outlets run out for the day, you might miss your chance.
When and Where You Can Get It
The promotion runs from 1 July to 31 August 2025, giving plenty of time for moviegoers to take advantage of it. Better yet, it’s available at all Cathay Cineplexes outlets in Singapore. That means whether you’re catching a blockbuster in town or enjoying a film in your neighbourhood mall, you can still enjoy the same deal.
Since it’s available every day before 6pm, it’s also a great excuse to plan a daytime movie trip. Weekday afternoons tend to be quieter, meaning you can enjoy both your movie and your snacks without the weekend crowds.
Perfect Timing for Movie Fans
This SG60 upsizing offer couldn’t have come at a better time. The mid-year period often brings a solid line-up of must-watch films – think action-packed summer blockbusters, animated hits for the school holidays, and even the occasional indie gem. Having a bigger tub of popcorn and a larger drink just makes the whole viewing experience that much better.
It’s also a nice little way Cathay Cineplexes is joining in the national SG60 celebrations. Instead of just marking the occasion with a banner or a greeting, they’re giving something tangible (and tasty) back to their customers.
A Deal That’s Easy on the Wallet
Let’s face it – going to the cinema is no longer the cheapest outing, especially if you factor in ticket prices, snacks, and maybe even parking or transport. But promotions like this are a reminder that a little extra value can go a long way.
If you’re already planning to buy a Medium Popcorn Combo, you’re spending just 60 cents more to walk away with much more than you started with. Even if you weren’t planning on a snack, the value here might tempt you to treat yourself. After all, how often can you say you upgraded your entire snack set for less than the cost of a bus ride?
Tips to Make the Most of This Promotion
If you want to enjoy this deal to the fullest, here are a few suggestions:
-
Plan for earlier showtimes – Since the offer ends at 6pm daily, aim for an afternoon movie so you have time to purchase and enjoy your upsized combo without rushing.
-
Pair with ticket deals – If you have credit card promotions, student rates, or senior discounts for tickets, combine them with this popcorn deal for maximum savings.
-
Go during quieter hours – Not only will you get the deal, but you’ll also enjoy a more comfortable cinema experience.
-
Share the love – The upsized portions are generous enough for two, making it a great option for couples or friends.
Final Thoughts
At its heart, the SG60 $0.60 upsizing promotion is about giving moviegoers more for less. It’s simple, it’s straightforward, and it adds genuine value to the cinema experience. Whether you’re planning a solo movie date, a fun family outing, or just looking for a reason to step away from the daily grind, this deal gives you one more incentive to make a trip to Cathay Cineplexes before the month ends.
So before 31 August 2025, carve out a couple of hours for a film you’ve been meaning to watch. Grab a Medium Popcorn Combo, spend that extra 60 cents, and settle in with your upgraded snacks. Sometimes, the little things – like a bigger drink and a bigger bucket of popcorn – make all the difference in enjoying a great day out.
