Both theater chains are bringing back their annual summer programs in June. This summer, Regal Cinemas and Cinemark are each running discounted movie programs aimed squarely at families looking to fill a Tuesday morning or a slow Wednesday without spending much. Both programs launch June 1 and run through early August, offering tickets well below the standard price at participating locations nationwide. The timing makes sense. Summer is traditionally one of the strongest periods for theatrical attendance, and both chains have used these annual promotions for years to drive foot traffic during morning hours that would otherwise go quiet. For families with kids out of school, the math is straightforward. What Cinemark is offering Cinemark’s Summer Movie Clubhouse returns this year with tickets priced at $1.75 plus tax per person. The program runs from June 1 through August 6 at more than 285 participating theaters across the country. Films are shown on Wednesday mornings, with select locations adding screenings on Mondays and Thursdays as well. Tickets went on sale May 13 and are available through Cinemark.com,  » Read More

Silhouettes of laptop and mobile device users are seen next to a screen projection of Whatsapp. — Reuters/File Meta-owned WhatsApp is testing a new privacy-focused feature that allows messages to disappear after being read, offering users greater control over their conversations. The feature, currently available to select beta testers, is being rolled out on both Android and iOS platforms. According to WABetaInfo, the feature is designed to enhance disappearing messages by introducing a new "After reading" timer. This tool will allow users to set messages to automatically delete after the recipient opens and reads them, rather than relying solely on fixed time-based expiry options. Previously, WhatsApp users could choose disappearing message timers such as 24 hours, seven days, or 90 days. Despite being useful, these options sometimes created limitations, particularly when messages expired before being read. — WABetaInfo The new system will address the issue by ensuring messages to remain visible until the recipient actually views them. Once a message is read, a countdown begins based on the sender's selected duration, which can be set to five minutes, one hour, or 12 hours. After this period expires, the message is automatically removed from the chat. If the recipient does not

Do Instagram DMs boost your reach? Instagram head says 'no' Instagram Head Adam Mosseri posted a video directly addressing a rumour that's been circulating among creators and casual users: that sending direct messages boosts your content's reach. The answer is simple. It doesn't. "There's a rumour out there that if you DM people, you're going to get more reach," Mosseri said in the video. "And I just wanted to be clear that that is not the case." He emphasised that while DMs are valuable for staying connected and building relationships, they have zero algorithmic benefit for visibility. As the creator strategy is built on some algorithm assumptions, when myths spread, they tend to drag people into false strategies. Mosseri’s direct way of saying it cuts through the noise; it’s a pattern he’s already adopted as Instagram gets more pressure from creators who are frustrated with declining reach and that kind of algorithm opacity that nobody can really see. The rumour probably came from a kernel of truth, in a way. Engagement activities do matter to Instagram’s algorithm. Likes, comments, and saves push reach. DMs, though, work outside the public engagement ecosystem. They’re private interactions that the algorithm doesn’t measure or
