Why pay $10 to see a movie when you can save up to 50% by purchasing several tickets at once? Several clubs and organizations offer significant discounts to consumers willing to buy a book of tickets:

AAA: AAA members can save up to 40% by buying a book of tickets from AAA's website.
Warehouse Clubs: Sam's Club and Costco both sell books of tickets at discount rates.
Loyalty Programs: It never hurts to nicely introduce yourself to your local theater manager and ask if regular patrons are eligible for discount programs or club cards.
