I have received several phone calls, emails, and social media messages asking if 'Cinema Day' is a real thing. The ticket prices do seem too good to be true so I'm not surprised that people are a bit skeptical.

I can confirm that 'Cinema Day' is legit and is a great way for families to enjoy a trip to the theater without breaking the bank. Below you can read about the Minnesota theaters that are participating by offering discounted tickets and concessions.

How Much Are Movie Tickets?

The-numbers.com has tracked the price of movie tickets every year since 1995. The average cost of admission last year was $10.53.

Throw in a bucket of popcorn, a drink, and a box of candy and the average family could easily drop $60+ seeing a new movie.
