Most movie theaters consider any movie before 4 p.m. a matinee. Some theaters may offer a larger discount on the first showing of the day, sometimes called a pre-matinee. You may also be able to get the matinee price for the last showing of the night if it's after 11 p.m.

Pricing and Convenience Fees

If you would prefer not to pay the Fee, it is possible to purchase tickets at the theatre in person, where it will not apply. By confirming your online booking, you agree to pay the Fee, in addition to the price payable for tickets.

Tuesday is the most statistically slow day in a movie theater, because they get more business during weekends, some Mondays are part of the 3-day weekends (like Juneteenth this year), and film previews and new releases hit on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The cheapest days to go are always Monday to Thursday. Most cinemas have lower prices on these days, and cheaper still before 5pm.

The average movie ticket cost $11.75 in 2022, according to EntTelligence, a research firm. In New York, prices reach $28, depending on the format. A small popcorn at AMC Lincoln Square costs $10 with tax.

How much does it cost to watch a movie at the cinema? ›

Generally speaking, screen actors are paid a day rate and stage actors a weekly rate. If screen actors are needed for more than five days, however, they will be paid a weekly rate. Rates vary if actors are needed for the entirety of the film shoot or the entirety of a television season.

Not only are cinemas quieter early in the day, they're often cheaper too. Most cinemas have discounted matinée showings from Tuesday to Friday, while Odeon and Cineworld give discounts on weekdays before 5pm.

Probably because it was the lowest grossing day of the week (and this likely goes back to people renting a new video release on a Tuesday instead of going to the theater) so they lowered the prices that day to get people to come.

The Cinema Foundation, a non-profit branch of the National Association of Theatre Owners, has named this Sunday, August 27th, National Cinema Day, a one-day event that will see participating locations sell movie tickets for prices as low as four dollars.
