AMC Theaters is trying to lure people back to the movies by selling tickets for next to nothing.

According to the Associated Press, the brand will have tickets on its opening day for 15 cents (plus tax) a ticket. Opening day is August 20.

The 15 cent tickets will be for several classic films, including Ghostbusters, Black Panther, Back to the Future, and Grease. After opening day, the prices for those films will be five dollars.

New movies expected to hit theaters soon include Unhinged on August 19,  Disney’s New Mutants on August 28th, and Tenet on September 3rd

Sadly, not all states will participate in reopening their AMC theaters on August 20, including California and New York. Participating theaters are listed on the AMC website.
