Downtown Santa Monica has announced its schedule of outdoor movies for its third annual “Cinema on the Street” series of summertime movies.
Residents are encouraged to unwind in a unique outdoor setting under the stars on the last three Friday evenings in July on the Third Street Promenade.

AMC Theatres will be raffling off a Family four-pack of movie tickets at the screening of “Despicable Me” and there will also be a special appearance from a “Despicable Me Minion.”
Free blankets will be given out to the first 100 guests for each show.
