Both the Kenai Cinema and the Orca Theater will be participating, offering tickets to all shows, regardless of showtime or format, for $4.

Shelly Endsley, who owns the Orca Theater, said in an email to the Clarion on Monday that in addition to the discounted tickets, all large popcorn will be discounted to $5. She also said that all attendees on National Cinema Day will be entered into a variety of giveaways celebrating the occasion.

A press release from Kenai Cinema parent company Coming Attractions says they’ll also offer a concessions discount on Sunday, with medium-sized popcorn and drinks available for $4 each.

Films playing at the Kenai Cinema on Sunday include “Barbie,” “Blippi’s Big Dino Adventure,” “Blue Beetle,” “Gran Turismo,” “Oppenheimer,” “Strays,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” and “The Hill.”
