Saturday Saturdays at the Cinema: ** UK's National Cinema Day 2024**
Get ready for a reel deal, movie lovers! The UK's National Cinema Day returns this August 31st, with an array of cinemas slashing ticket prices to just a few quid.
This year, over 630 venues will take part in the affordable movie scheme, ranging from the big dogs like Vue, ODEON, and Cineworld, to smaller indie chains such as Curzon, Reel, and HOME.
So, whether you're in the mood for a laugh with *Kneecap, a sci-fi thrill ride in Alien: Romulus, or a touch of sentiment in *Borderlands, there's a flick for every taste. Don't forget the blockbusters like Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine**!
Born in 2022, the National Cinema Day concept launched by Cinema First, backed by the Film Distributors' Association and UK Cinema Association, saw a staggering 1.46 million tickets sold in just seven days. Last year, admissions rose by 6% to an impressive 1.56 million, generating £5.2 million (€6.2 million) for the UK box office.
Iain Jacob, Chair of Cinema First, beams, "National Cinema Day is becoming a Great British cultural event, spreading the joy of cinema across the nation. With more support than ever, we're offering a fantastic selection of films at unbeatable prices."
Feeling continental? Across Europe, countries like France and Germany have their own cinema days. In France, it's the Fête du Cinéma, with 6,000 cinemas participating in 2024 and offering €5 tickets from June 30th to July 3rd. Despite the price increase from €4 (2019), an astounding 4.6 million tickets were sold to French cinephiles. In Germany, there's the Cinifinity project, which promises unlimited cinema trips for just €12.50 a month, introduced in May 2023 and available across over 100 cinema complexes.
