National Cinema Day Returns this Saturday

On Saturday, 2nd of September, cinemas across Northern Ireland will celebrate National Cinema Day with admission tickets at participating cinemas reduced to just £3 (RSP) including premium seats, screens and 3D screenings.

Last year’s National Cinema Day was a huge success in Northern Ireland, with over 53,000 admissions for that single day, making it the biggest cinema-going day of the year. The industry is looking forward to welcoming even more visitors to the big screen for National Cinema Day 2023.

“There’s nothing like the magic of going to the movies. The shared communal experience of enjoying films as they were meant to be seen, with a captive audience on the big screen, is one of my favourite things to do. I’m really looking forward to celebrating National Cinema Day by catching as many films as I can and re-watching some of the great movies I’ve already enjoyed at the cinema this year.”

Lee Cronin, Director of Evil Dead Rise

Participating cinemas will offer a wide variety of new and recent releases for audiences to enjoy, including family favourites that all the family can enjoy as a treat as schools reopen.

“We are delighted to be participating in National Cinema Day by offering £3 tickets for all shows, all day, including new releases. After a blockbuster summer, and the massive popularity of both Barbie and Oppenheimer, it is important for the industry to celebrate cinema, and what better way to do that than by enjoying a movie (or two) on 2nd of September? There will be something for everyone to enjoy. See you on Saturday, and remember, book early to avoid disappointment!”

Paul Anderson, Director of Omniplex Cinemas

Tickets can be purchased through the websites of participating cinemas, and at the box office from Sunday August 27th. Audiences are advised to check local cinema listings and can also visit www.nationalcinemaday.uk as a central online location to check out what’s screening at their local cinema.

Popular titles that will be screening on the day include Barbie; Oppenheimer; The Meg 2: The Trench, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem; Blue Beetle; Theatre Camp and Haunted Mansion.
