On Sept. 3, it’s all movies, all formats, all day for three bucks.

The Cinema Foundation is welcoming moviegoers to celebrate a day at the movies with discounted admissions to kick off National Cinema Day on Saturday, Sept. 3. The upper-limit for tickets will be $3 for each admission.

The one-day event will be held at more than 3,000 participating locations hosting more than 30,000 screens. On tap will be exclusive previews and special in-theater promotions.

I was just about to post the same thing.

This is pretty clearly an attempt to boost sales when the box office is in a depressed state, but I'll take it.

 

[Malcolm R]

Will theaters be allowed keep the full $3 for themselves?

Good question. Probably not.

I got an email from Regal today promoting this. Includes IMAX, 3D (if anything's showing)!!!

Probably Jaws.

Probably Jaws.

The premium screen at my Cinemark (non-IMAX, but their branded equivalent) is splitting the day. Jaws has a matinee in 3D and Spider-Man: No Way Home will have the night shows in 2D.

I’d love to take advantage of this great offer but DAMN those theaters are going to be PACKED!

Americans love their bargains. Concession sales should be profitable next Saturday.

Just bought 8 IMAX tickets for Jaws for the price of ONE normally.

I do think this will increase business, but I'm not sure to what degree. I think it still depends on what movies are being shown. $3 is a great price tag, but I don't think it will get audiences out for films they aren't interested in.

I'll be seeing Spider-Man: No Way Home again next Saturday sort of by default for lack of an interesting new release. I'm curious about the 11 minutes of new footage, but they're obviously not going to change the experience all that much from the last time I saw it. Last year on September 3, we had the opening of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which proved that people will come out on Labor Day weekend if there is a really big movie that they want to see. This year's offerings seem rather paltry by comparison.

Precisely why they're doing it.

No kidding, they don't have to split those concession profits with the studios.

No kidding, they don't have to split those concession profits with the studios.

And when they sell booze at the bar, they really watch the money come rollin' in.

I’m going to see Spider-Man with the extra footage.
No jaws that day since wife is working.
Also I couldn’t find any Imax 3D Jaws up here in the Minneapolis area.
Just flat imax.

I see that Fandango has taken Sept 3rd off the board

I don't think Jaws is playing in 3D IMAX anywhere.

Buena Vista apparently tried to in the early 1980s ...

 

[TonyD]

Ok i’m going to try to get in an earLy SM in Dolby then watch Top Gun right after.

To bring up the 1980s tells us all we really needed to know.....
