A 90-Minute Escape to Leave Viewers Inspired

Cinemas are more than simply theaters with large screens projecting images for a live audience.

To some, movies provide two hours of relaxation within a darkened room where you are able to almost exist within a fantasy film.  For others, it offers a thrill and anticipation only created from an intense action flick.  Still others escape reality within a cinema to simply consume and admire images of glamourous stars.

Whichever reason motivates viewers to enter a theater, most audiences will exit the theater inspired by the professional actors and beautiful scenery that the small buildings somehow are able to hold within.

Here are three local theaters for Patch's Great Escape, as well as locations for RedBox Rental Locations for a quick and easy at-home theater alternative.

AMC Loews Liberty Tree Mall offers first release films, premier stadium seating and digital sound.  Imax and 3D presentations available.  A wide range of times and a large concession area and lobby as well as a convenient mall location.

Hollywood Hits Theater offers new as well as less current films with value pricing, reasonable concession prices on combo popcorn and drink deals and a fair variety of showtimes.

Cabot Street Cinema offers foreign, domestic and independent films on a large screen within a small, historic 1920's theater in downtown Beverly. 

At Redbox you can rent your favorite film or finally catch that previous Academy Award winner you have been wanting to watch.  The convenient red metal boxes offer the ability to rent and return current movies with a credit or debit card affordably and easily. Rental Kiosk is available at Peabody's major grocers such as Stop and Shop on Howley Street, Hannaford in West Peabody and also at Wal-Mart on route 114.   Other Redbox rental and return areas are  available by searching online.
