Theaters to offer $3 movies Saturday
Between the ease and lower cost of streaming, the ongoing pandemic and the colossal rise in admission prices, going out to the movies is no longer one of America’s favorite pastimes.
(Some might include “they don’t make ‘em like they used to” in that discussion.)
Saturday is National Cinema Day, designated by NATO – the National Association of Theater Owners. In an effort to put people back in theater seats over Labor Day Weekend, several major American chains are offering $3 admission to all shows, all times, in all formats (that means IMAX and other big-screen gimmicks are part of the package). There are more than 3,000 participating locations around the country, with more than 30,000 screens.
There are $3 deals on snacks and drinks, too.
According to the National Cinema Day website, Pinellas County theaters doing the $3 thing are AMC Sundial 12, Regal Park Place & RPX, Studio Movie Grill Seminole, Regal Largo Mall, CMX Tyrone, CMX Countryside and AMC Classic Palm Harbor.
Some restrictions and online-purchase fees apply, of course. It’s recommended that you check the website and/or call the theater in question.
