In honor of Grease star Olivia Newton-John, who passed away earlier this month, some theaters will be bringing Grease back to the big screen.

According to ABC News, the world’s biggest theater chain, AMC Theaters, is bringing Grease back to the big screen in honor of the actress, as well as to raise funds for charity. Starting this weekend, the 1978 musical will play in over 130 AMC locations around the U.S.

Tickets for Grease will be just $5, with $1 of each ticket sold going to AMC Cares (AMC’s charitable fund) with proceeds going to breast cancer research. Newton-John was originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 and announced in 2017 that it had returned.

AMC CEO Adam Aron made the announcement on Twitter.

To honor the late Olivia Newton-John: many of our U.S. theatres this weekend will show her classic 1978 hit movie Grease, again on the big screen.
