National Popcorn Day is always on January 19.

The next National Popcorn Day is on Friday, January 19, 2024. While the origin of this national food holiday is unclear, word is it started in the ’80s. Regardless of who introduced the holiday, we enjoy the deals it brings to movie theaters and online popcorn sellers.

 

Get up to 50% off popcorn at movie theaters.

In 2023, National Popcorn Day meant 50% off popcorn at these movie theaters.

AMC Theatres

The largest theater chain, AMC, gave everyone 50% off any size popcorn at all U.S. locations on National Popcorn Day, Jan. 19, 2023. You got the discount automatically, whether you were at the register or placed a mobile concession order.

You didn’t have to be an AMC Stubs loyalty member to get the discount, but if you were, you could also get a free refill on your half-off large popcorn.

Plus, AMC moviegoers could take advantage of the 2023 Classic Refillable Popcorn Bucket; Stubs members paid $20.99 and got refills all year long for $5.29 (and a same-day refill is free). Watch for these deals in 2024.

 

Cinemark Movie Theatres

Cinemark took 50% off their large popcorn (regularly $8) on Jan. 19, 2023 — National Popcorn Day.

The theater chain allows moviegoers to preorder snacks via smartphone or computer, and they’re delivered right to your seat. It’s called “Snacks in a Tap.” This year, Cinemark rewarded their customers who used Snacks in a Tap on National Popcorn Day by entering them in a giveaway for free popcorn and soda at the theater for the rest of 2023. Five winners were chosen.

In 2023, you also had a chance to win a free large popcorn when you followed Cinemark on Instagram, commented on their official National Popcorn Day post, and tagged three friends. Here’s hoping the 50% off and both giveaways come back next year.

 

Regal Cinemas

All sizes of Regal Cinemas popcorn were 50% off on National Popcorn Day, Jan. 19, 2023. You didn’t even have to be a member of Regal’s loyalty program to get this deal — but specialty popcorns like Cheetos popcorn and caramel corn didn’t apply. We expect to see this deal again in 2024.

And hey, if you end up with leftover popcorn don’t pitch it, we know the best ways for how to reheat popcorn.

Popcornopolis

Popcornopolis tweeted Krazy Coupon Lady with info about their 2023 National Popcorn Day deal

We asked, they replied. From Jan. 18 – 26, when you bought 40 of their mini cones, you received 20 free. Getting 60 for the price of 40 — that’s 33% off.

A pack of 60 mini cones typically costs $104.98-$134.99, but with this deal, they were only $69.99-$89.99. You didn’t even need a coupon code to get the deal. Look for this deal again in January 2024.
