Calling all film buffs! Get ready to get that large popcorn with extra butter. For one day only, these 47 theaters will sell tickets for only $4 (in select theatres) in honor of National Cinema Day—for every format. The entire event is being put on by The Cinema Foundation. Plus, at AMC, you can even score a small fountain drink and popcorn combo for just $5!
“After this summer’s record-breaking return to cinemas, we wanted to do something to celebrate moviegoing,” said Cinema Foundation president Jackie Brenneman in 2022. “We’re doing it by offering a ‘thank you’ to the moviegoers that made this summer happen, and by offering an extra enticement for those who haven’t made it back yet.”
More than 3,000 theaters across the nation will be observing the celebration. We’ve collected all SoCal locations below!
