Xfinity is Bringing Big-Screen Excitement to Portland This Summer

In a city that already loves its movie nights, Xfinity is adding a new layer to Portland’s summer film scene, bringing interactive, movie-inspired experiences and exclusive perks to neighborhoods across the metro area just in time for one of the season’s biggest releases.

As anticipation builds for the July 1 debut of Minions & Monsters, Xfinity is rolling out limited-time activations designed to make it easier for Portlanders to connect with the movies they love, whether that’s out in the community or right at home.

A movie moment that extends beyond the screen

Across Portland-area Xfinity retail stores, customers can step into Minions-themed environments that bring the energy of the film to life in an interactive way. Through early July, these spaces feature:

• Augmented reality character experiences
• Interactive displays and photo moments
• Hands-on demos of internet, mobile, and streaming services

It’s all part of a broader effort to blend entertainment with everyday connectivity, turning even a quick stop into something a little more memorable for families and movie fans.

And with offerings like Same-Day WiFi, it’s just as easy to bring that movie experience home - sign up, pick up your equipment, and start streaming within hours.

Built for a city that already lives for movie season

That matters in a place like Portland, where summer and movies naturally go hand in hand.

All across the city, parks transform into open-air theaters, hosting free Movies in the Park events that bring neighbors together week after week. There’s something uniquely Portland about it - blankets on the grass, food from nearby spots, and a shared experience under the evening sky.

Beyond the parks, independent theaters continue to shape the city’s film culture, offering everything from cult classics to new releases in spaces that feel distinctly local. And just outside the city in Newberg, the 99W Drive-In Theater adds a nostalgic option for moviegoers looking to mix things up with a classic drive-in experience.

It all adds up to a city where movie nights aren’t just about the film - they’re about how and where you experience them.

Perks that keep the movie momentum going

Xfinity is building on that momentum with a range of limited-time rewards tied to Minions & Monsters. Customers can:

• Access opportunities for early screenings
• Enter to win VIP theater experiences
• Take advantage of $5 Fandango Movie Cash while supplies last

Additional content and offers are available through the Xfinity app, giving customers a central hub to discover new perks and entertainment options all summer long.

More ways to make it a movie night

In Portland, there’s no one way to enjoy a movie.

It might be a spontaneous night at a park screening, a planned visit to a favorite indie theater, a drive out to Newberg for a double feature, or simply winding down at home after a long day.

What Xfinity is doing this summer is adding more ways to make those moments happen—connecting the big-screen excitement with the everyday ways Portlanders already show up for movie season.
