National Cinema Day 2023: Where To See $4 Movie In Brick

BRICK, NJ — National Cinema Day, an effort that started last year to get people back in movie theaters, is returning Sunday with a chance to see $4 movies in Brick, including popular summer releases “Barbie,” “Oppenheimer” and others.

That represents a savings of more than half on a movie ticket, with prices averaging about $10.35, according to the National Cinema Foundation, which is sponsoring National Cinema Day. About 30,000 screens in 3,000 locations are participating, including these theaters in and near Brick:

• AMC Brick Plaza 10, 3 Brick Plaza, Brick
• Marquee Cinemas - Orchard 10, 1311 Route 37 West, Toms River
• Regal Manahawkin, 733 Route 72 East, Manahawkin
• AMC Monmouth Mall 15, 180 State Route 35 South, Eatontown
• AMC Freehold 14, 101 Trotters Way, Freehold

Some cinema chains, including AMC Theatres and Regal Movies, are offering free popcorn or other specials.

Besides summer hits, which also include “Mission Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One” and “Blue Beetle,” discounted tickets are available for new films opening this weekend, including “Gran Turismo,” “Golda,” “The Hill,” “Retribution” and “Bottoms.”

The $4 tickets also are good for family hits, including “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and Disney’s “The Little Mermaid Sing-Along,” and classic re-releases like “Jurassic Park (3D),” “American Graffiti,” “Lady Bird” and “Oldboy.”

This is the second year for National Cinema Day, which is organized by the National Cinema Foundation, a nonprofit affiliate of the National Association of Theater Owners. Last year, more than 8 million people took part in the end-of-the-summer event.

Participating theaters took in $23.8 million on National Cinema Day 2022, which was held on a Saturday. Ticket sales were 8 percent higher on that Saturday than the one prior.
