I remember when I was a kid in Spain (in the late 80s, perhaps up to early 90s) cinemas where this was still possible. You could enter at any time, watch the movie, and even remain and watch it a second time if you want. It was also only advertised when the first pass started, but not any other one. Available movies will be slightly older ones, like 6-months after premier or something like that. And they were a few particular theatres, that only run movies in that way. I remember watching Return of the Jedi that way, arriving right before the fleet meets and they brief the Endor mission, so it was a good point to get into the movie anyway.
