If you were thinking of going to the cinema this weekend, you’re in luck, as the return of National Cinema Day will see cinema tickets drop in price for one day only.

National Cinema Day is set to take place this Saturday (August 31) with tickets available for only £4 each at over 630 venues across the UK, including at all the major cinema chains and some smaller independents. Films shown in 3D or IMAX will also be part of the deal.

The initiative is now in its third year, having been put together by Developed by the cross-industry body Cinema First, with the support of the Film Distributors’ Association and the UK Cinema Association. It launched in 2022 to immediate success, with the cut-price deal helping to earn cinemas 1.46million admissions in a single day, which increased to 1.56million admissions in 2023.

Ahead of this weekend’s event, Iain Jacob, Chair of Cinema First said: “National Cinema Day is fast becoming a Great British cultural event, sharing the joy and sociability of cinema across the nation. This year we have more support than ever, allowing us to show a fantastically wide choice of films at amazing value. Every year this event has got bigger, with more and more people sharing their love of cinema. We know that 2024 will be the best yet.”

Cinemagoers hoping to make the most of the deal have a wealth of options to choose from, such as Zoë Kravitz’s new thriller ‘Blink Twice’, the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel It Ends With Us, the Bill Skarsgård and FKA Twigs-starring remake of TheCrow and sci-fi horror Alien: Romulus.
