For one day only, you can grab any cinema ticket for just £3.00.
It's no secret that the film industry has been irreparably impacted during the Covid-19 pandemic.
With cinemas closed on and off for the past two years, it's been difficult to get anyone to showings- and that's when there's plenty of blockbusters released.

The pandemic has delayed filming across the world, and even two years on, we're seeing the effects of this trickle down into what releases are available in the cinemas- or lack there of.
Many of us in recent years have turned to Netflix, or Disney Plus as a way to stream our videos from the comfort of our homes. Whilst PJs and a duvet are a welcome swap from having to head out and about to catch a movie when 'Stay at Home' orders were issued, it's certainly time we made a visit to the cinema and supported the film industry once more.
To remind us of the sweet scent of popcorn and the brain freeze we've (mostly) missed from a Tango Ice Blast, Cineworld cinemas are hosting a 'Cineworld Day' on Saturday 26 February, pricing all tickets at just £3 each.
Across the country, tickets at all Cineworld cinemas will cost just £3 each, regardless of which movie you attend. This is a huge saving given an adult's ticket would usually cost £9.99, £7.99 for students and £5.99 for kids- so it's at least half price depending on which category you fit into.
For us in Leeds, this means that White Rose shopping centre's Cineworld will have the best value seats in the city.
On the big screens, there will be a choice of new movies like Death on the Nile, comedy-classic Jackass Forever and showings of Spiderman: No Way Home, as well as a special 50th edition of The Godfather.
Kids movies will also be included, expect Clifford the Big Red Dog and Sing 2 on show throughout the day.

End of an era as historic Leeds pub announces shock closure with ‘heavy heart’
One of Leeds' longest-running pub will be closing.
The Cross Keys in Holbeck is a lovely little boozer.
And it's got a fair bit of history too. Dating back to the early 1800s, the pub has stood on Water Lane for more than two centuries, with its story closely tied to Holbeck's industrial past.
Back when the area was one of Leeds' major manufacturing hubs, the Cross Keys was a local drinking spot for workers from the surrounding foundries and engineering works.
The pub itself fell into disrepair and was abandoned in 1980s, before being brought back to life during a major restoration in the 2000s.
But now, The Cross Keys is closing once again.

Announcing the sad news to Instagram, the pub said: "It's with a heavy heart that we share the Cross Key's will be closing its doors on the 3rd of October.
"The whole team thank you for your support during our time in business."
In classic Leeds fashion, the comments were flooded with support from fans of the pub alongside fellow local businesses.
One comment reads: "Absolutely gutted about this. I held my fiance (now husband’s) 30th at The Cross Keys and it was excellent and the team were so helpful and hospitable. So sad to hear this."
Whilst another said: "Gutted, the home of some great memories and significant pints in my life."
So, if you've had a significant pint in The Cross Keys and wish to bid it a proper farewell, you've got until Saturday 3 October to do so.
Brand-new ‘party pub’ to take over the old Revolution site on Call Lane after £600,000 investment
Clementine Hall
We hope you're ready to party Leeds, because a 'party pub' experience is coming to Call Lane.
Following a whopping £600,000 investment, Bonnie Rogues is preparing to open in the former Revolution site in Leeds city centre that will close this month.
After a major refurbishment, Leeds’ first Bonnie Rogues venue and the sixth site for the fast- growing UK brand will open in November 2026.
Designed as an all-day-to-night social destination, Bonnie Rogues combines live music, live sport, and late-night celebrations in one immersive venue.
From big nights out to spontaneous after-work drinks and even Sunday Roasts, Bonnie Rogues aims to offer something completely different from the traditional pub experience.
Expect live performances, crowd-involved entertainment and interactive moments in an atmosphere that flows seamlessly from day to night.
Russell Quelch, CEO of NEOS Hospitality, said, “Leeds has such a strong social scene and a real appetite for experience-led venues, so we think Bonnie Rogues will fit perfectly into the city.
"It’s a concept that brings together everything people love about going out - live music, sport, food, entertainment and great atmosphere, all in one place. We’re excited to bring something new to Leeds and can’t wait to welcome guests later this year.”
The Leeds opening forms part of a wider rollout of Bonnie Rogues venues across the UK, as NEOS Hospitality continues to expand its portfolio following its acquisition of multiple Revolution and Revolución de Cuba sites earlier this year.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more.
