Are you a movie buff? Do you have $3?

On Sept. 3, you can visit one of the participating theaters around Greater Cincinnati and snag a film for just $3, thanks to the inaugural National Cinema Day. The discount day is just in time for the long Labor Day weekend, typically one of the slowest weekends for theaters.

The aim of the day is to get movie-goers back into theaters. Cinema Foundation, a non-profit arm of the National Association of Theater Owners, started it, with the discount applying to more than 3,000 theaters and 30,000 screens nationwide.

This is the first large-scale movie discount effort in the U.S., and organizers of National Cinema Day have described it as a trial, one that could hopefully become an annual event.

Major chains including AMC and Regal Cinemas are participating, and the $3 tickets apply to every showing in every format.
