If you're looking for something cheap to do this long holiday weekend, here's just the ticket: Regal, AMC, and other theaters are celebrating National Cinema Day on Saturday by offering $3 movie tickets across the country — the first time such a program has been offered.
Despite loosened pandemic restrictions, summer movie attendance still remains lower than it was in 2019 and is down more than 30%, according to Axios. The movie chains hope the $3 one-day event, available at more than 3,000 theaters, will spur foot traffic on what is typically a slow holiday weekend for movie-going.
To promote the deal, Regal Cinemas is offering a chance to win a $250 gift card to those who retweet the event on Twitter.
