What Is National Cinema Day?

In short, National Cinema Day is a one-day nationwide event sponsored by the non-profit The Cinema Foundation to encourage you and me to celebrate the theatrical experience by going to the movies.

Which Movies Are Four Bucks?

Every release, every seat, every format, every showtime.

The last time movie tickets cost $4 was in 1994 so Sunday’s promotion is kind of like a time machine for your wallet.

But instead of paying four bucks to watch The Little Rascals, Natural Born Killers, Clear and Present Danger, and It’s Pat: The Movie you’ll pay 1994 prices for Blue Beetle, Barbie, Oppenheimer, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.

Along with the $4 a ticket deal, most theaters are also offering moviegoers a break on concessions. And, they all have A/C!
