'We're really hopeful that a lot of folks will come out for us down in Alvin,' Thomas said. Participating theaters are offering tickets for $3 or less per showing, not including tax, with Thomas saying he's charging $2 per ticket at Wellborne, 324 E. He hopes for a significant spike in revenue this Saturday, when Wellborne is joining theaters throughout the Houston area and across the rest of the United States to celebrate National Cinema Day. Wellborne Cinema Four enjoyed somewhat of resurgence in recent months along with the rest of the film industry, but now that school is back in session and there are few new releases, Thomas said the theater lost money by operating during the last two weekends. The independent theater in the Houston suburb of Alvin closed in March 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and did not reopen until earlier this summer, according to owner Andrew Thomas, who said technical problems with his projectors compounded the decline in business associated with pandemic-related shutdowns. The last two years have been particularly hard on movie theaters, and that's especially true for Wellborne Cinema Four. Pixabay As part of National Cinema Day on Saturday, tickets at many theaters across the Houston area will be sold for $3 or less per showing.
