IMC Cinema at Fairgreen Shopping Centre, Carlow
On Saturday, September 2, cinemas across the Republic of Ireland will celebrate National Cinema Day with admission tickets reduced to just €4 (RSP) including premium seats, screens and 3D screenings.
Last year’s National Cinema Day was a huge success in Ireland, with over 200,000 admissions for that single day, making it the biggest cinema-going day of the year.
The industry is looking forward to welcoming even more visitors to the big screen for National Cinema Day 2023.
Approximately 99% of cinemas in the Republic of Ireland will participate in this initiative, offering a wide variety of new and recent releases for audiences to enjoy, including family favourites that all the family can enjoy as a treat as schools reopen.
Cinemas in every county in the Republic of Ireland are participating, meaning easy access for audiences to big screen entertainment in their home county.
For many years, Ireland has had the highest cinema attendance per capita in Europe.
The Republic of Ireland also has the highest screen density per capita of any European country, with an average of one cinema screen per 10,000 people, demonstrating the Irish public’s love of cinema.
Tickets can be purchased through the websites of participating cinemas, and at the box office from Sunday, August 27.
Audiences are advised to check local cinema listings and can also visit www.cinemaday.ie as a central online location to check out what’s screening at their local cinema.
Some of the movies showing include Irish titles such as Ballywalter, starring Patrick Kielty, which will have special previews on the day, along with Tarrac which will also have special previews on September 2.
Participating cinemas include: Arc Cinemas; Carrick Cineplex; Century Cinemas; Cineworld; Eclipse Cinemas; Eye Cinema; Gate Cinemas; IFI Cinemas; IMC Cinemas; Light House Cinema; Movies@ Cinemas; Odeon Cinemas; Omniplex Cinemas; Pálás Cinema; Reel Cinemas; Vue Cinemas.
The 2023 initiative is supported by Screen Ireland.
