I hope everyone has heard about National Cinema Day, an event being sponsored next Saturday (Sept. 3) by the Cinema Foundation. On that day, all movies, all showtimes, all formats will be priced at $3. All of the film studios are onboard with the event, and over 3000 locations representing over 30,000 screens are signed-up to participate.
If you choose to take part, there are all sorts of assets (logos, web banners, social content, press release, etc.) in the Paper Airplane website, and there will be a 4 1/2 minute "sizzle reel" coming in next week's Trail Mix that is meant to be played on that day's shows ONLY. Haven't seen it yet but it's supposed to include bits from a lot of the upcoming movies.
Cinema Foundation is aiming to make this an annual event, so we are definitely taking part in it. Hope we get big crowds!
Here is an article about it from Variety, and there are a lot of other articles popping up too, so it should be a good event.
U.S. Theaters Will Sell $3 Tickets for National Cinema Day Event, Set for Sept. 3
While the excitement of the summer movie season is over, U.S. theaters are looking to reinvigorate interest in filmgoing with National Cinema Day, a one-day event that will see participating locations sell movie tickets for prices as low as three dollars.
The Cinema Foundation, a non-profit branch of the National Association of Theatre Owners, announced the event on Sunday, according to the Associated Press. National Cinema Day will take place this Saturday, Sept. 3, at more than 3,000 theaters across the U.S., comprising 30,000 or so participating screens. For reference, there are about 40,700 theater screens in the country.
“After this summer’s record-breaking return to cinemas, we wanted to do something to celebrate moviegoing,” Cinema Foundation president Jackie Brenneman said in a statement. “We’re doing it by offering a ‘thank you’ to the moviegoers that made this summer happen and by offering an extra enticement for those who haven’t made it back yet.”
