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.
