National Cinema Day returns to Kildare this week

This Saturday (31 August), more cinemas than ever in Kildare will mark the return of National Cinema Day.

Admission tickets at participating cinemas will be reduced to just €5 (RSP) including premium seats, screens and 3D screenings.

The 2024 initiative, designed to celebrate the experience of cinema-going, is again supported by Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland.

Tickets can be purchased through the websites of participating cinemas in Kildare and at the box office from Sunday 25 August.

Audiences are advised to check local cinema listings and can also visit cinemaday.ie as a central online location to check out what’s screening at their local cinema.

Some of the movies showing include Irish titles such as the acclaimed horror Oddity, directed by Damian McCarthy, along with Kneecap which continues to perform very strongly at the Irish box office and the acclaimed documentaries Mrs. Robinson and Notes From Sheepland.

Moving prison-drama Sing Sing opens in cinemas on the weekend of National Cinema Day alongside drama Touch, a remake of The Count of Monte Cristo, horror-thriller AFRAID and a re-issue of The Italian Job.

Popular titles will also continue to screen on the day, including Deadpool & Wolverine, It Ends With Us, Alien: Romulus, Trap, Blink Twice, Cuckoo, Twisters, A Quiet Place: Day One, and The Crow – along with smash hit family favourites Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4.
