NEW YORK (WPIX) — As the weather gets warmer, one company wants to pay a lucky moviegoer $2,500 to cool off and go to the movies.

CableTV.com is hiring a “chief of cinema” to watch five upcoming summer movie releases at their local movie theater.

“Did you know that only 7% of Americans prefer watching movies at a theater? Why, though? How do the comfort of home, cheaper snacks, and a pause button for pee breaks beat escaping into a well-told story that plays out on a towering silver screen with top-notch surround sound?” reads the announcement on the company’s website. “There’s magic in going to the movies, folks, and CableTV.com wants to help you rekindle it — or, possibly, experience it for the first time.”

CableTV.com’s chief of cinema:

The Chief of Cinema must watch five movies in a movie theatre by August 31. – “the theater can be an air-conditioned megaplex, a stuffy arthouse with no A/C, or a nice, open-air drive-in—as long as you had to buy a ticket,” the listing reads.

Any genre of movie, from blockbusters to indies, is fair game.

CableTV.com will then reimburse for the ticket purchase and pay $500 per film.

To apply, you must be 18 years or older and a United States resident.
