The nation’s theater chains want you to spend a day at the movies this weekend. More than 3,000 theaters will be participating in the first ever National Cinema Day on Saturday, Sept. 3.<\/p>\n

Theaters will be selling tickets for every movie \u2014 including more expensive formats like IMAX and 3D \u2014 for only $3.<\/p>\n

Jackie Brenneman, president of the nonprofit Cinema Foundation, tells CNBC Make It that the idea for a national movie theater holiday was in the works well before 2020, but that the Covid-19 pandemic forced those plans to be postponed.<\/p>\n

After Regal Cinemas parent company Cineworld held a similar event in the UK in February to great success, Brenneman said planning began in earnest to replicate the promotion across the pond.<\/p>\n

“It gave a model template for how we could do something at that scale in the United States,” she says.<\/p>\n

In addition to being a “thank you” to fans who returned to movie theaters in droves during the summer blockbuster season \u2014 Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick”, for example, has earned the sixth highest domestic gross ever with its $692 million haul \u2014 the hope is that people who haven’t been to the movies in a few years might be tempted to visit their local theater.<\/p>\n

“It’s an opportunity [for moviegoers] to see a movie again, or see a movie that they were maybe on the fence about,” she says. “For people who haven’t come [to the movies in a while]this gives them an opportunity to see how great movie theaters are.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The flat $3 price for any movie in any format is also meant to encourage moviegoers to check out premium formats such as Dolby and IMAX.<\/p>\n

“It’s an opportunity to get people to try out the new technologies and see how they like it,” Brenneman says.<\/p>\n

Here’s everything you need to know about National Cinema Day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When is National Cinema Day?<\/h2>\n
\n

The movie holiday will be held on Saturday, Sept. 3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Where can I buy the $3 tickets?<\/h2>\n
\n

You can get your tickets by visiting your local theater’s box office, including top chains like AMC and Regal, or by going to online ticket brokers. For a list of participating theaters, visit the National Cinema Day website.<\/p>\n

Be aware that the $3 ticket price does not include tax, and is still subject to any third-party ticketing fees that sites may charge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What movies are eligible for the $3 National Cinema Day promotion?<\/h2>\n
\n

Every movie currently showing in theaters will be available for $3. Whether you want to go to an 8 pm IMAX screening or a matinee showtime, the price will be the same.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Can I buy my $3 tickets in advance?<\/h2>\n
\n

Not only can you order your seats ahead of time, Brenneman actually recommends it.<\/p>\n

“My one piece of advice is to buy your tickets in advance,” she says. “If there’s a specific movie or a specific technology you’re excited about, buy those tickets early.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Will National Cinema Day be an annual event?<\/h2>\n
