On Saturday, May 10, Hong Kong will have its annual Cinema Day, when movie tickets will just cost $30 each, in a bid to encourage more people to go to movie houses.
The heavily discounted tickets went on sale for
the first time today, and reports said queues had formed outside theatres, with
patrons eager to book the limited seats available.
Tickets were also made available online in some cinemas, but a “handling
fee” of $10 was added per ticket booked.

Each person can buy up to four tickets per
transaction at the box offices of participating cinemas, while the availability
of online tickets will depend on each theater’s internal policies.
The discount applies to all movies shown in the cinemas on this day, and may include premium formats like IMAX, 4DX, and MX4D, where each ticket costs $170 or more.
The only exceptions to the $30 discount is the first show for seniors, who may
choose to pay the regular discounted tickets if they’re cheaper.
All other special prices for moviegoers, or
discounts, vouchers or coupons will not apply on this day.

| Long queues were reported at cinemas across Hong Kong |
Fifty-three cinemas are participating in the
event, and the Hong Kong Theatres Association expects it to attract around
200,000 filmgoers, similar to previous years.
This is the third year in a row that Cinema Day
is being held to encourage more people to go to movie houses, instead of having
their fill of feature films or documentaries through streaming sites like Netflix,
AppleTV, Viu or Disney Channel.
