There’s a Reddit thread called “About the only way I’ll go to the movies these days” and the title is pretty self-explanatory. Users left and right are praising T-Mobile‘s Tuesdays section on the T-Life app and the freebies it hands out:

The original poster uploads a screenshot that shows how much money they’re saving by taking advantage of T-Mobile‘s offering. For a single cinema ticket for the new Brad Pitt flick, the F1 movie, they paid exactly $5, which is crazy cheap – that’s because they saved $20, or 80% of the original sum for the ticket.
Personally, I can’t find that many new movies that are worth watching nowadays, but T-Mobile‘s cinema offerings are really tempting. Let’s say that I’m interested (but not overhyped) for an upcoming blockbuster – I’d hate to spend over $20 (or $50, if you’re with a date) just to witness Hollywood’s latest screw up. But spending $5 on it? Yeah, sure: that’s a sum easier to swallow if the movie turns out to be dumb.
So, I guess even for cynics like me, T-Mobile‘s cinema freebie can be of value.
Fellow Redditors also like to pay five bucks for a flick (and not a cent more), as it turns out:

Of course, some say otherwise:
It would be better to pay an overall lower price for the phone service altogether than be offered random discounts on products like this.

… but the truth is that you can’t have it all and T-Mobile just has to offer such freebies: such is the nature of rivalry.
In the end, whether you’re a regular user of T-Mobile‘s perks or just discovering them, the option is there. Some will find value in the small savings, others may not care either way. It all depends on what you’re looking for and how much effort you’re willing to put in.
