Showcase Cinemas is celebrating National Popcorn Day  Friday, January 19 with free popcorn. Members of Showcase Cinemas’ Starpass loyalty program can enjoy one free small freshly-popped popcorn with any movie ticket purchase on January 19 at all locations in Massachusetts, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island.

The Showcase Starpass loyalty program is free and easy to join. Members earn 10% on virtually all purchases and receive a $5 voucher with every $50 spent. New members who register for Starpass on or before January 19 will receive a free small popcorn on National Popcorn Day. Members may register online or at the box office during their ticket purchase on January 19 to qualify for the offer, which is valid in-theater only and must be redeemed at the concession stand.

“National Popcorn Day is something we look forward to all year; we are excited to once again offer free popcorn to our Starpass loyalty members to celebrate the occasion,” said Mark Malinowski, Vice President of Global Marketing. “There’s nothing like seeing a movie the way it’s meant to be seen: on the big screen with freshly-popped, buttery popcorn in hand. There is no better way to kick off this New Year than with a trip to the movies!”

This year National Popcorn Day falls on a Friday, offering the perfect way to start the weekend with a date night or evening out with friends or the kids.
