Grab a slushie and a large popcorn: Saudi cinema tickets have been reduced.
On Monday April 22, 2024, the Film Commission revealed that a hefty reduction in Saudi cinema tickets was underway and VOX is the second cinemas brand to announce reduced prices.
After a significant drop in film licensing fees was announced, home-grown brand Muvi Cinemas took it upon itself to be the first to drop its prices – announcing new permanently lowered prices on Instagram in May 2024.
Sit back and relax. Here is everything you need to know about the new Saudi cinema tickets.

Reduced ticket prices
As mentioned previously, the pocket-friendly prices have been introduced as part of the Film Commission’s significant step towards lowered film licensing fees for cinemas across Saudi. The new fees apply to permanent and temporary cinemas. What’s more, the Commission is also urging cinemas to release more promotions to make the movie-going experience more affordable for everyone. Talk about a win-win.
While Muvi Cinemas and VOX are the first brands to introduce lowered prices, more cinemas are bound to follow. Keep an eye on Time Out for the latest updates.
Saudi cinemas
Movie theatres are massively popular in Saudi. Part of the mega-ambitious Saudi Vision 2030, the Kingdom is expected to have 300 cinemas with over 2,000 screens playing the latest international and local releases. Muvi Cinemas opened its first theatre in 2019 offering state-of-the-art technology and immersive experiences. Since opening the brand has opened multiple cinemas across Saudi.
Cinematic fun across Saudi
The Kingdom’s cinematic scene (get it?) is taking centerstage globally. With star-studded events like the Red Sea Film Festival, Saudi Film Confex and the home-grown Cinema Nights, movie-watching (and appreciating) is quickly becoming a cornerstone of Saudi lifestyle. The Kingdom’s breathtaking scenery has also been debuting in international movies with heart-pounding action sequences filmed in Dakar Rally‘s Empty Quarter, the ancient town of AlUla and UNESCO World Heritage site of Al Balad in Jeddah.
