WATCH MOVIES AT THE CINEMA

Yes, just as you read it, I’m not joking! It’s true when I say you can get paid for watching movies at the movie theater and I will tell you how 🙂
I know it’s a little crazy to believe that somebody will pay you for going to the movie theater but no it is not. Let me explain to you why this is it.
Film studios want to know the kind of audience that goes to watch their movies. So, they will know what the movie fans like and what they don’t. As well they learn the type of audience attends to each genre of film. All this for a simple reason, knowing if they are doing well or not with their movies and what they may do to improve it. Sounds logical, right?
Knowing if they are doing well or not with their movies they will know what to change to improve it. Sounds reasonable, right?

Hey Darmendra,
I enjoyed reading this article. I never would’ve guessed that you could make money this way.
I was wondering if the jobs were like a 9 to 5 where you have to clock in and out and follow a dress code, etc.
It would be awesome to get paid for watching movies for sure.
The sneak check would be my favorite position, the ability to get an exclusive look at an upcoming movie? Count me in.

Hi Dom,
I am so glad you liked it. And to your question, if you have to dress in some way or follow certain hours the answer is, no! You’re free to decide when and how to work.You only have to fulfill the task assigned to be paid.
Good luck if you decide to apply 🙂
