Movie tickets across the US will cost just $3 on Saturday, September 3rd in celebration of National Cinema Day (via Associated Press<\/em><\/a>). If you\u2019ve never heard of such a holiday before (at least in the US), that\u2019s because it never existed until now<\/a>, apparently.<\/p>\n

The $3 ticket price (not including tax) applies across all tickets, formats, and showtimes \u2014 and yes, this includes IMAX and 3D movies. So far, a growing list of 3,000 theaters, including popular chains, like Regal<\/a>, Cinemark<\/a>, and AMC, have agreed to take part in the new holiday. <\/p>\n

You might not want to count out your local, independently-run theaters, either. In a list of participating theaters viewed by The Verge<\/em>, we spotted several smaller locations, like the Starmax Cinemas in Vandalia, Illinois, and the Wellfleet Cinema drive-in (a personal favorite) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. You can find out if theaters near you are participating by entering your location on the National Cinema Day website<\/a>. Participating theaters will also show a \u201cspecial sneak peek\u201d of upcoming movies from various studios, including Disney, Universal, Lionsgate, Paramount, Warner Bros., and more.<\/p>\n

The Cinema Foundation, a nonprofit organization created<\/a> by the National Association of Theatre Owners earlier this year, came up with National Cinema Day as a way to encourage people to return to the theaters. Labor Day weekend is a notoriously slow time<\/a> for movie theaters due to a lack of new releases, but perhaps National Cinema Day could help change that. I, personally, haven\u2019t seen a movie in theaters since 2019\u2019s Joker<\/em>, so maybe this is the universe\u2019s way of telling me it\u2019s time for a trip to the theaters. <\/p>\n

Movie theaters took a pretty big hit during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, and have also contended with a hybrid release model<\/a> that has some movies hitting theaters and streaming services the same day. Last year, theaters signed deals with studios like Warner Bros.<\/a>, Paramount<\/a>, and Disney<\/a> to promise periods of in-theater exclusivity for certain films (although they\u2019re much shorter than what they\u2019ve been in the past).<\/p>\n

But this summer had an impressive number of people returning to theaters, thanks to blockbusters like Thor: Love and Thunder<\/em><\/a> and Jordan Peele\u2019s horror film Nope<\/em><\/a>. According to data from Comscore<\/a>, this summer\u2019s box office raked in $3.027 billion, a 134.6 percent increase when compared to last summer. The imminent return of the Moviepass subscription<\/a> could perhaps play a role in getting people back to theaters in the future, too (potentially to the dismay of theaters).<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter this summer\u2019s record-breaking return to cinemas, we wanted to do something to celebrate moviegoing,\u201d Jackie Brenneman, the Cinema Foundation\u2019s president said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re doing it by offering a \u2018thank you\u2019 to the moviegoers that made this summer happen, and by offering an extra enticement for those who haven\u2019t made it back yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
