National Cinema Day is back with discounted movie tickets for one day only.

On Sunday, Aug. 27, tickets at over 3,000 participating theaters across the country are only $4.

The sale applies to recently released films like Blue Beetle, Barbie, Oppenheimer (IMAX and other premium formats are included), Strays, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and more, plus this week's new releases Gran Turismo, Bottoms and Golda.

The annual initiative, led by The Cinema Foundation, began last year, when tickets were $3 for one day during Labor Day weekend.
