Today, August 27th is National Cinema Day 2023 and many movie theaters across the US & Canada are celebrating by offering movie tickets for as low as $3 or $4!

Many theaters are participating including Cinemark, Regal, AMC Theaters, Alamo Drafthouse, Harkins Theaters, NCG Cinema, Celebration Cinema, and Marcus Theaters they are offering $3 or $4 tickets for any movie, in any format, all day long! Even sweeter, some theaters are hosting special deals on popcorn, drinks, and snacks too – so don’t skip stopping by the concession stand!

To purchase your tickets, just head to nationalcinemaday.org and enter your location to view participating theaters in your area. You can then select the theater of your choice to purchase your tickets. It may be a good idea to snag your tickets before heading to your preferred movie theater as the wait could be quite long.

There are a ton of great movies to choose from for this highly anticipated $3 movie day, including the new Blue Beetle from DC Comics, Sound of Freedom, Strays with Jamie Fox & Will Ferrell, Barbie, Oppenheimer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Grand Turismo!

We also noticed a few theaters are showing older movies like Jurassic Park (30th Anniversary) and American Graffiti (50th Anniversary)! Plus, The Little Mermaid, Spider-Man Across the Spiderverse, Super Mario Brothers, Haunted Mansion, and Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny are still playing in select locations!

With ticket prices averaging $10-$14 these days, you won’t want to miss the once-a-year event! This is the perfect time to take the family out for a fun movie night, have a cheap date night, or enjoy a girls’ night out!
