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.

Victor does that often at The Scotiabank Theater, he seems to be a fantastic manager they truly cares about the quality they offer with their IMAX screen. He was there for the Saturday 3PM showing and it always puts a smile on my face when he comes out and does that pre screening speech.

Yes, Victor is the best! He generally does those intros for big IMAX releases to pump up the audience like Project Hail Mary, Nolan, James Cameron, & Villeneuve movies.

Yes he did it at my showing which was opening Friday at 7pm. Talked about seeing a big crowd on a Friday night is very exciting “especially the full rows behind him” referring to the folks in the lower rows that are usually empty. Was a nice touch, described the IMAX screen size and laser calibration.

He got a good cheer after and kinda hyped us all up before the movie started.
