Following the huge success of last year’s National Cinema Day, the Cinema Foundation has announced it will be returning this Sunday, August 27th in the United States. The Cinema Foundation is calling on film fans across the country to gather for a national day to celebrate the magic of the movies on the big screen. The second annual National Cinema Day celebrates the power of movies to bring us all together, and discounted admissions for all movies at participating U.S. theaters in all formats (including Premium Large Format screens) will be no more than $4.
