If you want to go to the cinema, yes.
If he thinks that's a promise of something else, that's his problem.

Edit: morals? No. You've no moral obligation to shag people for cinema tickets.

Of course it's not a promise,
but depending on the way he asked, an acceptance might carry with it a certain implication.

I rarely agree with you
But right now I am very much liking your thinking.

You're only saying that because he's the one saying you get free cinema tickets.

it's only his problem
if she's made it absolutely clear that nothing else is on the cards now or at any point in the future, though.

That's fucked up, man, fucked up.
Why should she have to make that clear? Why should he be assuming a right to her unless she explicitly tells him otherwise?

because she knows that he's trying to "court" her
for want of a better word.

she's the one in possession of all the facts. He only knows that he's interested in her romantically. She knows that, plus the fact that's she's not. So she's the one guilty of deception if she accepts his offer under false pretences.

We're not saying this applies to ALL circumstances where one person meets another in a social situation. But it certainly applies to THIS situation.
