How to see a movie for $4 this weekend
Seeing a movie in New York City isn’t the cheapest activity, but a one-day-only offer will bring a major discount to cinemas across the boroughs.
Sunday, August 27, marks National Cinema Day, and with that, thousands of theaters nationwide will be participating in a $4 ticket sale. More than 3,000 theaters are participating, including chains like AMC and Regal, along with more local, independent theaters. The ticket price will be consistent for all formats and screenings. $8 for a Barbenheimer double feature isn’t bad!
