If you haven't yet jumped on the Barbenheimer bandwagon, now is your chance.

National Cinema Day is Sunday, Aug. 27 and 3,000 movie theaters across the country will be offering $4 tickets.

The Cinema Foundation, a nonprofit organization, is bringing back National Cinema Day for the second year in a row to attract more people to the movie theaters.

"Just like fans flocked to 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer' on the same day last month, moviegoers may be planning to enjoy a double feature or even a triple feature at theaters this Sunday, as they'll want to see as many movies as they can on National Cinema Day. Many theaters are also offering promotions on concessions, so that's yet another enticement for movie fans," said Bryan Braunlich, executive director of the Cinema Foundation.

Last year's celebration brought more than 8 million people into theaters across the country and grossed over $24 million, making it one of the best attended days at the movies in 2022, according to the Cinema Foundation.
