Regal Cinemas celebrates National Popcorn Day with free large popcorn

Pop! Pop! Pop! There’s something special about movie theater popcorn. You can make popcorn at home, but it never quite has the same taste or flavor.

And, fortunately for movie theater popcorn fans, things will definitely be popping at Regal Cinemas on National Popcorn Day. The popular movie theater chain is celebrating the salty day by giving away the iconic snack on Jan. 19, 2026.
