Blue Monday, often called “the most depressing day of the year,” is getting a much-needed twist at The Arc Cinema. On Monday, 20th January, all tickets for every film will be just €6.50 all day long—that’s almost a 50% discount!
Now in its third year, The Drogheda Town Centre cinema’s Blue Monday promotion has become a hit with customers, helping them swap the January blues for the magic of the big screen.
The idea of Blue Monday was first introduced in 2004, when psychologist Cliff Arnall created a formula identifying the third Monday of January as the year’s gloomiest day.

With factors like weather (W), post-Christmas debt (D), failed New Year’s resolutions (Q), and low motivation (M), it’s easy to see why.
But instead of giving in to the gloom, The Arc Cinema invites everyone to turn it into the most entertaining Monday of the year.
Movies on offer include the critically acclaimed ‘Better Man’ (the Robbie Williams story from the director of The Greatest Showman), the stunning Bob Dylan biopic ‘Complete Unknown’ starring Timothée Chalamet, or family fun with ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3.’ With plenty more great films showing, check out ArcCinema.ie for full listings and to book tickets.
Eleni O’Flynn Cinema Manager at The Arc Cinema, said: “We’ve been running the Blue Monday promotion for three years now, and it’s always amazing to see people turning what’s supposed to be a gloomy day into a joyful experience.
“Last year, the response was fantastic—so many people came to enjoy a day at the movies with us. This year, we’re thrilled to do it again and make Blue Monday the highlight of January! Grab your friends, grab your tickets, and join us for an unforgettable cinema experience.”
