Cinema buffs rejoice (and clear your calendar for this upcoming Sunday): August 27 will mark the second-ever National Cinema Day. On this special day, everyone is treated to $ 4 movie tickets at participating U.S. theaters. This is not a drill.

Plus, some theaters are even throwing in special promos on their concessions. AMC Theaters, for instance, will offer $ 5 small popcorn and drink combos (tax not included) all day. Regal is one-upping its competitor with a small popcorn + drink combo option that will cost $ 4.

With this deal, you can finally experience the magic of Margot Robbie in Barbie; find a reason to sit through three hours of Oppenheimer; decide for yourself whether Strays merited its low Rotten Tomatoes rating of 55%; educate yourself about the Yom Kippur War in Golda; and so much more.

Enjoy the flicks and popcorn while you put your feet up and save some money. You deserve it.
