Cineplex Brings Back $5 Weekend for Tickets and Popcorn

The two-day sale is designed to boost late-summer theatre attendance.

Overview

  • Cineplex announced a $5 Weekend to run on Sept. 5 and 6, with discounted showtimes and popcorn tickets going on sale Sept. 2 both online and in person.
  • The promotion offers $5 general-admission tickets and $5 small bags of popcorn at participating Canadian locations.
  • The deal is not valid for IMAX 70MM screenings, non-feature films, or Cineplex Events but can be used for premium formats if customers pay an extra fee.
  • Online purchases typically carry a booking fee of $1.50 per ticket, which is reduced to $1 for Scene+ members and waived for CineClub subscribers or when buying at the box office.
  • A portion of proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Picture Pioneers, and the promotion follows Cineplex’s recurrent value events meant to boost attendance and cut costs for moviegoers.
