dollar theater

Budget movie venue

A dollar theater is a movie theater that shows films after their initial run at reduced prices, typically a dollar or close to it.

These second-run cinemas let budget-conscious viewers catch movies they missed at full price: We saw it at the dollar theater a few months after it came out.

Also called a discount theater or cheap seats.
