Golden Ticket Cinemas Celebrates National Popcorn Day on January 19

January 2026 — Few things are as closely tied to the moviegoing experience as the smell of fresh popcorn and the excitement of the lights dimming before a film begins. On Sunday, January 19, Golden Ticket Cinemas will celebrate National Popcorn Day, honoring the snack that has been part of movie memories for generations at all Golden Ticket Cinemas locations.

To mark the occasion, Gold Star Rewards members at all Golden Ticket Cinemas locations will receive 50% off regular and large popcorn and $1 refills on the 2026 Annual Popcorn Bucket for one day only.

“For so many people, popcorn is part of the tradition of going to the movies,” said Joe Horton, Director of MediaRelations for Golden Ticket Cinemas. “It’s the snack you share with family, pass down the row to friends, and enjoy while getting lost in a great story on the big screen. National Popcorn Day gives us a chance to celebrate those moments and thank our guests for making Golden Ticket Cinemas part of their memories.”

From first dates and family outings to weekend traditions and special celebrations, popcorn has long been woven into the fabric of the theatrical experience. National Popcorn Day shines a spotlight on that simple joy — a warm bucket of popcorn, a great movie, and time spent together.

The Gold Star Rewards program is free to join, and guests can sign up at GTCinemas.com to take part in National Popcorn Day savings and enjoy rewards throughout the year.

Guests are invited to visit any Golden Ticket Cinemas location on January 19 to celebrate National Popcorn Day, enjoy special popcorn offers, and experience the magic of the movies.
