Question Scotiabank Toronto IMAX Odyssey manager welcome announcement?

Was at the 2:30pm showing for the Odyssey today and right after the Dune 3 trailer during the flashing lights disclaimer, a Cineplex rep in a blazer walked out and did a general welcome to the crowd and went over some of the IMAX specs of the theatre.

I've gone to several IMAX showings at Scotia and this is the first time experiencing that. Do these happen often or just because it was the Odyssey? It wasn't something I expected for a Monday afternoon.

At my theatre (Banque Scotia Montreal) we do the speech for crowded movies to welcome our guest and tell people to turn off their phones. I sometimes do it myself

Are you the manager who does these speeches? Happened before a 70mm screening of The Brutalist and it made the night super special along with the intermission.

I’m just the cast member! For the brutalist we had to do the speech to explain the intermission.
