Golden tickets: See what movie theaters are offering senior discounts
By James Powel, USA TODAY,

In my younger days, there were three things I could count on in life.
Either the Lakers , Dodgers , or Kings would be on the television in the evening; the childhood dog would zoom through laps in the yard when I got home; and whenever my Grandpa visited from Sacramento, California, we would go to the movies.
While going to the movies — or as my grandfather called it "the show" — may not be the same cultural touchpoint for younger Americans as it was in the past, it is still a place for generations to connect.
It is also an opportunity to take advantage of senior discounts offered by theater chains.
"No one forces businesses to offer senior discounts," Kahler, the president and owner of Kahler Financial of Rapid City, wrote. "Companies do so because it’s ultimately good for them if you do business with them instead of their competitors."
Here are the theaters that offer senior discounts.
