Discount theater

Discount theaters, also known as dollar theaters, dollar movies, second-run theaters, and sub-run theaters, are movie theaters that show motion pictures for reduced prices after the films leave first-run theaters. Originally, they received 35 mm films after they had been shown already at first-run theaters; therefore the film quality was lower because the film was worn by dozens of showings, and the audience for the film would be reduced since it had been released weeks or months before.
