National Popcorn Day! Free Popcorn, Only in Theaters, Friday, Jan. 19th
Participating theaters across the U.S. are offering popcorn discounts and/or special offers in celebration of National Popcorn Day.
Virtually everyone loves popcorn. In fact, in a recent NationalToday survey, 92% of Americans said that they can't get enough of its rich, buttery goodness. With National Popcorn Day arriving this Friday, January 19th, movie theaters across the U.S. are offering spectacular deals on buttered, salted, kettled, and drizzled with caramel popcorn.
Imagine. Each year, nearly 5 billion quarts of popcorn are consumed by moviegoers at U.S. theaters and other venues, according to the National Association of Concessionaires. At home, more than 14 billion quarts are consumed each year. That’s a lot of buttery goodness.
So, sit back and catch a flick while enjoying eye-popping deals on your favorite popped treat at these theaters on January 19th, 2024.
