    There was a movie theater when I was a kid in the 80s and you could see movies that had already stopped being shown in the regular theaters for a while for $1. So, like, if you missed Return of the Jedi or Temple of Doom in its original run, you could catch it later on the big screen for $1.

      We had that here too. Tuesday and Wednesday was $1 for a ticket, $1 for a popcorn and $1 for a drink.

      We had one of those in the 2010s here in Texas, although it might have raised to $2

      Yup, second run theaters are (were?) awesome. Saw so many classic movies like Temple of Doom and Total Recall at my local one.

      We still have that in MA. And independent theaters with unique programming.
