The Cinema Foundation said more than 3,000 theaters and more than 30,000 screens will be part of the special event. Major chains, including AMC and Regal Cinemas, are participating, as are all major film studios. In participating theaters, tickets will be no more than $3 for every showing, in every format. It hopes the event will boost sales as Labor Day weekend is traditionally slow for theaters.

  • Premiere Cinema 14 Fashion Square
