Film lovers, listen up! Cinema Day returns this year on May 10, the one day when all commercial cinemas across the city offer movie tickets at just $30. Organised by the Hong Kong Theatres Association, this annual event is held to promote local film culture and to make going to the cinema more accessible.
52 cinemas across Hong Kong are participating in this event, with 14 locations on Hong Kong Island, 19 in Kowloon, and 20 in the New Territories. The $30 deal appeals to all regular screenings throughout the day of May 10, but special screenings and private bookings are not included in the promotion. Senior citizen tickets that are already priced below $30 will still be available, but all other concessions will be on hold for the day in favour of the $30 deal.
Mark your calendars for May 6, as tickets will go on sale starting at 12 noon, both online and at physical box offices. Don’t think about hoarding tickets, as each transaction is limited to four tickets only. We’ll probably be spending the entire Cinema Day going in and out of theatres for different screenings, so please don’t fight us for the popcorn!
