Topline:
This Sunday will mark the second annual National Cinema Day. Some 3,000 participating theaters nationwide are offering $4 movie tickets for all formats and showtimes.
A boon for movie theaters: The cheap movie day is organized by The Cinema Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes the movie theater industry. The group says last year’s event saw more than 8 million moviegoers drop nearly $24 million at the box office, with Top Gun: Maverick as the biggest draw.
What’s playing: This year you can catch big blockbusters like Barbie and Oppenheimer, the horror flick Last Voyage of the Demeter, and the Latino-led DC superhero film Blue Beetle. You can check out theaters, movie offerings and showtimes at the National Cinema Day website.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
