Movie tickets just got cheaper — at least for a day. If you haven’t seen Barbie, Oppenheimer and more of the year’s biggest films on the big screen, you can watch them for just $4 during National Cinema Day.
The annual event, launched last year by the Cinema Foundation, returns on Sunday (Aug. 27). For one day only, moviegoers will get the opportunity to watch or rewatch movies in theaters for one low ticket price.

National Cinema Day 2023 celebrates “the power of movies to bring us all together,” the organization said in a statement, per USA Today. More than 3,000 theaters will be participating in National Cinema Day, including AMC, Regal and Cinemark.
How to Buy National Cinema Day Tickets Online for $4
You don’t have to wait until the weekend to buy your tickets for National Cinema Day. Purchase advance tickets online through Fandango, in addition to AMC Theaters, Cinepolis, Regal Cinemas, Cinemark and other movie theaters.
Fandango National Cinema Day Tickets
$4
Most of the websites of the participating theaters put up “National Cinema Day” banners on the homepage, but you might have to enter the information in manually, depending on the website or app.
To get started, select the film of your choosing and set the date to Aug. 27. Changing the date should automatically drop the ticket price to $4. The discount applies to matinee and regular-priced tickets.
Be sure to check with the movie theater or ticket website if you’re not sure how many $4 tickets you can purchase at once. Fandango, for example, allows you to purchase up to nine tickets at a time.
In addition to $4 movie tickets, AMC and other participating theaters will be offering National Cinema Day deals on drinks, popcorn and candy.
Cinemark National Cinema Day Tickets
$4
With Barbie and Oppenheimer ruling the box office, the one-day ticket haul could add a significant boost to what has already been a historic box-office run for both films, and a ticket spike for some of the other big-budget movies that didn’t perform as well, such as Blue Beetle, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part I.
“Following the rousing success of the first annual National Cinema Day, we welcome everyone to join us for the communal experience of one of America’s favorite past times,” Jackie Brenneman, president of The Cinema Foundation told Deadline.
Which new movies are debuting this weekend? Some of the new releases include Bottoms, Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story, The Hill, Golda and Retribution. The Little Mermaid will also be returning to theaters as a sing-along film for National Cinema Day.
Other movies currently in theaters: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Meg 2, Elemental, Theater Camp, Strays, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
If you’re unable to make it out to theaters for National Cinema Day, most of the films featured are available to stream on-demand. Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, The Little Mermaid, Super Mario Bros., Elemental and more are available to rent on Prime Video (Super Mario Bros. is also streaming for free on Peacock) and other digital platforms. Barbie will arrive on digital platforms in Sept. 5.

Ariana Grande is unable to talk about her role in Wicked amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. But she can talk about her new tattoo, which just so happens to be her character in the upcoming film adaptation of the musical: Glinda the Good Witch.
The star revealed in a new interview with Allure — which predominantly focused on the release of Grande’s new R.E.M. Beauty foundation line — that she’s gotten the original Glinda illustration in L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz books inked on the back of her right hand since being cast in the Jon M. Chu-directed project. “This one I knew I wanted to get for a very long time,” she told the publication, showing off her hand.
“This is my most recent one,” she continued. “I waited forever to fill up this hand. And I thought, ‘I’m gonna wait for the right thing to come along,’ and yeah, that felt very right.”
Grande has many other tattoos, including a moon and sun illustration, as well as the name of her dog, Toulouse, inked on the back of her left hand. Just about all of the fingers on both her hands are adorned with designs, too, with a cloud, a heart, olive leaves, dots, a reference to the first song on her debut album — “Honeymoon” — and a thick coverup blocking out the word “Pete,” the name of her ex-fiancé Pete Davidson, which used to preside on her ring finger.
Filming for Wicked came to a halt as a result of the writers’ strike, just a few days before the project was expected to wrap. “We were only a few days away from being done, so we were SO close,” Chu told fans on Instagram. “It’s been very painful to put a halt to it all but we will be back! And we will finish properly strong when the time is right.”
Shot just outside of London, Wicked will be take place over two films, the first of which is slated for a November 2024 theatrical release. As Glinda, Grande will star opposite Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba, aka the Wicked Witch of the West, with Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Ethan Slater and more fleshing out the rest of the cast.
The project certainly hasn’t gone without its share of headlines. In July, Grande and Slater were reported to be dating shortly after the “Positions” singer’s split from husband Dalton Gomez went public. Neither of the actors have confirmed their romance.

You can get the Galaxy Buds Live for an additional $40 discount on Samsung.com when you trade in an old pair of earbuds, bringing the price down to just $59.

Unlike some of the other earbuds on the market, Samsung’s Buds Live come with Active Noise Cancellation, which lets you tune out external noise, to focus in on the music. The ANC feature helps to block out airplane noise, traffic noise and even conversations around you (say, if you’re on the subway or at work). Tap the side of the buds if you need to hear something — say, a co-worker’s question or a flight announcement — then tap it again to get back to your tunes.
A single charge gets you up to six hours of playtime; get 21 hours with the included charging case.
BTS promoted a white, “mystic bronze” and black colorway in their Galaxy Buds Live commercial in 2020; Samsung has since added a bold “mystic red” colorway as well (on sale for just $99 as well). The company calls the Buds Live “equal parts earbuds and ear bling,” thanks to their glossy finish and the accompanying jewel-toned charging and storage case.

Comprised of handwritten lyrics, poems, family portraits and never-before-seen journals from the six-time Grammy winner, In Her Words chronicles the “Back to Black” singer’s “creative evolution” from her North London roots to music stardom.
“We always wanted the world to know the real Amy, where she came from and what made her tick,” her father, Mitch Winehouse told People in a story published on Sunday (Aug. 20). “In all aspects she was just a normal Jewish kid from North London, who did normal kid things, went to drama class, loved her grandma, her mum and dad, loved her brother.”
The collection of rare photos, published by People, includes pre-fame shots of Winehouse as a teenager and young girl, adorable baby photos and pictures with her parents. Also featured: a handwritten list titled “Fame Ambitions” outlining her dreams for the future, some of which she achieved, such as working David La Chapelle, who directed her 2007 music video for “Tears Dry on Their Own.”
Winehouse also wanted to work with Missy Elliott and Timbaland, meet Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, and become friends with the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Stella McCartney and Eddie Izzard. Other goals included buying a house on Miami’s South Beach and “to have people look up to me.”
The 27-year-old singer, who died from accidental alcohol poisoning in 2011, sold more than three million albums prior to her death. Her passing led to an additional surge in sales.
Amy Winehouse: In Her Words will be released on Aug. 29. The book is available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Books-A-Million, Bookshop, Thriftbooks and IndieBound. Proceeds from the book will benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
