In that case, Orange Wednesday would not work as a translation for an American audience. "Movies" is more commonly used in the US over "cinema", and cineday maybe not be understood by an American audience to be referring to "the movies". With that in mind, 2 for 1 at the movies would make the most sense.

Yes, it is translatable. It is literal, and appears in various texts on Europa.eu

neutral Tony M : Not sure I entirely agree: it's really a proper name, and as such, I wouldn't normally translate it; the general meaning is in any case relatively explicit.
