This the second consecutive year theaters are celebrating National Cinema Day at the end of summer for a good reason. More than 8 million movie fans were part of last year’s Cinema Day. Since this year’s event is taking place on Sunday, instead of last year’s Saturday, tickets prices have increased a dollar. The average movie ticket in 2022 cost $10.53, according to the theater group.

In a Fandango consumer survey of more than 2,000 U.S. ticket buyers, participants noted the top five reasons they would likely buy tickets for next year, including affordable pricing, ability to see a specific movie they’ve been wanting to see, time with loved ones, being a huge fan of a certain movie franchise, and fun activity for their weekend plans.

“Movies have the power to bring us together to share in the joy, the thrill and the magic of a great story told on the big screen,: said Michael O’Leary, President & CEO of the the theaters-owners group. “National Cinema Day is a celebration of movie fandom and of the uniting role that movie theaters play in our communities.”
