The cheapest day to go to the movie theater is typically Tuesday, which is widely known as Discount Tuesday or Cheap Tuesday at most major theater chains in North America. As of 2024-2026, major chains including AMC Theatres, Regal Cinemas, Cinemark, and Cineplex in Canada offer discounted tickets on Tuesdays, with prices often 5 to 8 dollars cheaper than weekend prices, making Tuesday the cheapest day. For example, AMC offers Discount Tuesdays where AMC Stubs members pay around 6 to 8 dollars for standard tickets versus 14 to 16 dollars on weekends. Cineplex in Canada offers discount Tuesdays with similar savings. Some theaters also offer cheap Mondays or Wednesdays, but Tuesday is most common. Additionally, matinee showings before 4 or 5 pm on weekdays are cheaper than evening shows, so Tuesday matinee is absolute cheapest combination. Other ways to get cheap tickets include senior discounts, student discounts, child discounts, and membership programs like AMC A-List, Regal Unlimited, and Cineplex Scene Plus that reduce per-ticket cost. Second cheapest days are usually Monday and Wednesday with matinee pricing. Weekends Friday to Sunday are most expensive. Holidays also tend to be more expensive. So if you want cheapest day, go on Tuesday afternoon, join loyalty program, and choose matinee show for maximum savings, with tickets often half price compared to weekend evening.
