Into Film Clubs
Find out everything you need to know about starting an Into Film Club.
National Cinema Day is taking place this week on Saturday 31 August, and will see hundreds of cinemas across the UK coming together to celebrate the big screen experience with discounted tickets.
Over 630 venues have signed up to participate in the event, including all of the major UK cinema operators and a wide range of smaller cinema operators and venues. Participating sites are offering tickets to all screenings from just £4, making it the perfect opportunity to support your local cinema and catch some of the fantastic films that are showing.
As well as current Hollywood releases like sci-fi horror Alien: Romulus and animated sequel Despicable Me 4, many cinemas are also screening independent gems, and bringing much-loved classics from yesteryear back to cinemas, giving you a rare opportunity to see them on the big screen.
Developed by the cross-industry body Cinema First, with the support of the Film Distributors' Association and the UK Cinema Association, National Cinema Day was launched in 2022 and was an immediate success, achieving 1.46 million admissions in a single day. This increased to 1.56 million admissions in 2023. With so many cinemas taking part this year, 2024 promises to be even bigger and better!
Ahead of this weekend's event, Iain Jacob, Chair of Cinema First said: "National Cinema Day is fast becoming a Great British cultural event, sharing the joy and sociability of cinema across the nation. This year we have more support than ever, allowing us to show a fantastically wide choice of films at amazing value. Every year this event has got bigger, with more and more people sharing their love of cinema. We know that 2024 will be the best yet."
