Submitted by the Event Organizer

It’s time for the second annual National Cinema Day. On August 27, 2023, celebrate National Cinema Day with $4 movies (plus tax) all day long. – even on specialty screens like IMAX, 4D, ScreenX, RPX, and theaters with fancy schmancy lounge seating. 

You can even see Oppenheimer at one of the country’s few 70MM IMAX theaters at SF’s Metreon for just $4. We checked on Monday morning (10:01am) and there were still plenty of seats available

Whether you’re in the mood for a fun movie with your kids or a scary movie with a friend, 2D or 3D, a classic or the newest blockbuster, it’s all $4. (Last year in 2022 it was just $3)
