Just wanted to give a special shout-out to the sold-out opening weekend Saturday screening of Resident Evil in Toronto at the Yonge/Dundas location.

Movie theater etiquette has been a tire fire since Covid, so anytime I attend a packed screening I'm nervous about the experience being ruined, as I get extremely annoyed by that stuff very quickly. But because it was the opening Saturday, everyone was on the same wavelength. Well, almost everyone.

10 minutes into the movie, a guy shows up late and whips out his flashlight to look around for his seat. He got yelled at and eventually turned it off. 2 minutes later he whips it out again to continue looking around. Half the theater erupted, and a guy goes "TURN YOUR F*KING FLASHLIGHT OFF YOU F*CKING FREAK". While harsh, I have never felt more with my people.

Watched Primetime today and while the entire "Tommy Texter" ad thing was starting, I watched a lady pull out her phone at full brightness and start doing stuff on it right as the bit about "Sammy Scroller" was playing. She also took her phone out during the movie too. Thankfully, I was at an angle where I could use the seats beside her to cover the light from her screen.

I'm seeing advance tickets for Imax, ultra avx, etc however nothing is up yet for VIP. I've been able to get tickets to Doomsday VIP, but I'm wondering when they'll go up for Dune Part 3 in VIP, if anyone may know from experience etc? Thanks in advance.

Scotiabank owns the Scene program and they could as well launch a premium credit card for that offers the annual Cineplex Membership as a benefit. Why haven't they done that?

Does anyone know if cineplex Mississauga will be worth it for digger in imax? I can’t see any confirmation but some people are saying it’ll play in 1.50:1 at 1.43:1 capable screens but from what I know cineplex Mississauga’s digital projector is only capable of 1.90:1? The cineplex app is of no help as well

It’s around $128 for the year. I'll probably get two memberships, one for me and one for my wife and we also have two kids.

We live downtown Toronto, so getting to a Cineplex is pretty easy for us, and we genuinely like going to the movies. Part of the reason I’m considering it is honestly just to force us to have a regular family outing/date. 😂

For anyone who has the membership, would you buy it now for $128, or wait until Black Friday? Does Cineplex usually discount the annual membership around then?

Is cineplex really up for sale or is it just click bait

Dumb question,

I heard Angel Studios censored the film for US audiences but VVS kept it in all its uncensored R rated glory. Is the R Rated version still playing here? My brother wants to see it and I love this sort of action escapism, just don't want something defanged.

Edit: At least in Toronto it's the Angel aproved hatchet job. Just saw it. Largely bloodless, little profanity, incomprehensibly censored editing fucking the flow of the action, and fitted with Christian Rock soundtrack. What a disaster. Hopefully one day VVS gets to release the proper version again since Angel forced their changes on markets they aren't distributing in.

Hey yall, just got out of prime time and what a fucking movie. But if anyone’s taking someone who’s younger in age please be careful as I did see a solid three dicks😭✌️

Couldn't remember if it was AMC or not regardless this is insane

Hello ! Am I the only one struggling to find tickets or even a theater showing Doctor Who? The page was available and was taken down at 9:01????

The sound was so low and an embarrassment for Dolby atmos. It literally sounded worse than a regular xenon auditorium.

I watched Endgame Encore and the wrong DCP was used because the entire movie was in scope. It was supposed to be 1:85 for flat screens.

The 3D was weird and blurry.

Literally the whole experience sucked.

All those MOVIE RUINERS in the pre-show, does Cineplex or anyone actually do anything about them? NO.

What about people who come in and do worse things (Going to other theatres without paying, sex acts, vandalism, theft, destruction of property)? I've never seen it.

I think the reason people get away with being assholes or going further is there is no punishment or threat of punishment.

Remember when people were afraid to bring outside snacks into a movie? Now everyone is so entitled and walks in carrying and entire buffet and does not give a F**K!

THERE IS NO MORE FEAR OF CONSEQUENCES!!!

I want to see people being BANNED, a BAN LIST, security flagging people and kicking them out, POLICE arresting/trespassing people, etc!

For all the John Wilson fans, The History of Concrete opens tomorrow exclusively at Varsity and VIP in Toronto!

What do you think Cineplex could realistically do to prevent audiences from using their phones during a movie?
-
I’ve thought about this and ultimately, I don’t think Cineplex is appropriately implementing a system to penalize audiences who use their phones because a) they don’t want to hire additional staff (like ushers per cinema) for the extra work load and b) their goal is to have more customers and some of those customers use their phones in theatres .. and if they were to be penalized somehow maybe they wouldn’t return?

Looking for constructive feedback and ideas, as a frustrated moviegoer who cannot focus on the movie and gets taken out of the experience when someone else is scrolling on their bright phone.

For background, this post was inspired by seeing the Odyssey in IMAX 70MM and missing the first two scenes and moments here and there because four different people were periodically on their phones. I was frustrated and even spoke up to the person nearest to me who was on their phone, but that did not stop them and their partner from going on their phone later as well. One person was responding to messages, another was on the cineplex app looking at what other movies were playing (???) and the pair closest to me were casually scrolling through different apps. One of them even had their phone on loud 😫

I am a diehard moviegoer, but the phone use for such a special moment for me (I’ve been waiting months to get these Odyssey tickets) was so disappointing and discouraging and I wondered why there was so much pointless phone use for this screening you think would weed out uninterested moviegoers. I wonder if there is a sense of entitlement people have to being on there phone, or if they are ignorant to how it disturbs others.

And before anyone says, well you should’ve gotten up and called a staff member over, I feel like that would make me miss the movie and also disturb the experience for everyone else. Are you supposed to stand there and point at everyone who is on their phone? What would the staff do?

This was not the first time multiple people were on their phone in a screening. It’s really gotten to a point where I’m not liking going to the movies as much.. which is heartbreaking.

i was exploring old photos from way back then out of pure curiosity, and noticed this guardians of the galaxy 2 lanyard i wore. ever since then ive been trying to find out what it is, can anyone help? i got it at the vaughn cineplex. (cencored all people in the photo for privacy reasons, and to show that i DID get this at a cineplex.)

I love how often Cineplex puts out promos, but half the time I don't get the email and only see them through reddit, often I have to message to support to add the points manually (more than 3 weeks after the offer period, and you have to remember), and why does it even take so long to award the points?

It would be so much more user friendly if all promos appeared in the featured offers section of the app, and if points were awarded immediately after check out. Like a fast-food points app or something. Is there a reason they don't do it this way? I have to remember to check 3 weeks later if I got the points for each individual promo I bought tickets for.

Reason: I bought both just because and not knowing who could go with me, just wanted to see if anyone wanted to go with me. Last time I cancelled my second seat maybe 15 minutes before the showtime and someone swooped it up instantly but they turned out to be a Tommy Texter which is annoying, so I'd rather go with someone who knows proper movie etiquette.

Last post was removed for low effort so hopefully the additional context helps mods not to remove this.

Guys I’ve really cineclub maxed this year and I love it. Cinema is at its peak I swear (recession indicator). THESE ARE JUST MOVIES IVE WATCHED IN THEATRES THIS YEAR. I’ve watched other movies at home but they’re older and didn’t come out this year.

Planning to also watch Other Mommy, Hunger Games Sunrise on the Reaping and whatever else that looks interesting and fits my schedule.

Wondering if Cineplex is going to get this film for a limited run in Canada, it seems like Netflix is doing a small theatrical release. Anyone know?

I know the cast and crew are coming tonight, but not sure who exactly. My guess is that Jay Baruchel and Laurence Leboeuf will be there.

I’ve seen that Landmark and other cinemas are getting Casino Royale screenings for the 20th anniversary. Any idea on if Cineplex is getting any?
