Go to the Movies for $3 This Saturday Thanks to National Cinema Day

Saturday, Sept. 3, is a day for all movie lovers as cinemas across the country celebrate National Cinema Day by drastically reducing ticket prices.

Every movie, every showtime and every format will only be $3.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Nowadays, the average price of a movie ticket is $9.57, and the last time a movie ticket cost $3 was in the '80s.

So, take advantage and get ready to treat yourself to the large popcorn this Saturday, because we’re going to the movies.

“After this summer’s record-breaking return to cinemas, we wanted to do something to celebrate moviegoing,” said Cinema Foundation president Jackie Brenneman.

Participating Locations

I have always loved going to the movies. My dad and I used to go almost every other weekend. I would slurp down a blue Slushie and get lost in the sights and sounds of the theater. It brings back beautiful memories, and National Cinema Day is a perfect reminder of how fun the cinema can be.
