“Going to the movies is a holiday tradition for so many Canadians, and we are delighted to offer a safe and welcoming place for families and friends to keep their traditions alive through the magic of the movie theatre experience,” said Ellis Jacob, President and CEO, Cineplex. “Health and safety remain our top priority today and throughout this entire pandemic, and I couldn’t be prouder of how hard our local theatre teams have worked to keep Canadians safe since our reopening. ‘Private Movie Nights’ are an affordable way for families, friends, and other groups to safely gather and celebrate the season.”

Canadians across the country – COVID-19 government restrictions permitting – can book ‘Private Movie Nights’ screenings by visiting Cineplex’s dedicated web page. The ability to book an auditorium through Cineplex.com instantly in just three clicks will be available to movie-lovers in the coming days.

Cineplex guest survey data shows that Canadians feel overwhelmingly safe in the theatre environment as well, with a 93 per cent satisfaction rate on auditorium health and safety, and a 95 per cent satisfaction rate on overall experience. Since reopening in late-June, Cineplex has proudly hosted thousands of film screenings with no reported or confirmed transmissions of COVID-19 at any of its locations. In fact, there have been no outbreaks traced to movie theatres anywhere in the world, according to the Global Cinema Federation.

Private bookings and event rentals are also available at Cineplex’s locations of Playdium and The Rec Room – COVID-19 restrictions permitting – including use of the entire space, unlimited play on games, and dedicated staff for your time there.
