Salt Lake’s movie theaters are officially banking on us! The stretch from November through January is historically a moneymaker for the industry, as we look to get cozy indoors and see much-hyped Thanksgiving and Christmas releases.

• You know about $5 Tuesday, right? Many of Salt Lake’s Megaplexes and Cinemarks drop tickets to $5.75 on Tuesdays, plus online fees.
• Coming soon: “Dune: Part Three.” It opens Dec. 18, and you can scoop tickets now for the IMAX theaters in West Valley and Sandy. Megaplex is even hosting “Dune: Part One” and “Dune: Part Two” IMAX double features. Decompress after with an Arrakis Spice latte at The Legendarium. [Megaplex, The Legendarium]
• SLC sings with Maria: The Salt Lake Film Society’s beloved “The Sound of Music” sing-alongs start Dec. 5, but tickets are selling now. [SLFS]
• Giveaway alert! We have free pairs of tickets to a preview screening of “How to Rob a Bank” on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. at Megaplex Jordan Commons. [Allied Marketing]
• Sundance Film Festival used to fill our theaters in January. But, they packed up for Colorado, taking roughly $196 million in economic impact with them. Instead, check out the Utah Film Center’s annual Queer Film Festival this weekend. [Sundance Institute, Utah Film Center]
