Sunday August 27th  is National Cinema Day, and to celebrate, moviegoers can watch a movie for just $4!

Approximately 30,000 screens across 3,000 movie theaters will take part — including select AMC Theaters, Regal Movies and Cinemark theaters.  It  includes all current movies in all formats- even Imax and Dolby Digital. 

The Cinema Foundation  launched the event last year to celebrate movies and bring people back to the theater. More than 8 million moviegoers participated in National Cinema Day last year. The typical average movie ticket in 2022 cost $10.53, according to the theater group. The Cinema Foundation is a non-profit, dedicated to promoting essential cinema exhibition industry by developing future diverse workforces and growing moviegoing communities through research, education, and philanthropy.

So if you’ve been waiting to check out “Oppenheimer’s” Killian Murphy in IMAX,  or “Blue Beetle” go toe-to-toe with Edison’s Susan Sarandon, Sunday may be the perfect chance to do it.
