Ontarians who are missing the movie-going experience can now book their own private viewings at their local Cineplex theatre.

Whether it’s for family, friends, or a corporate event, the Canada-wide initiative, called “Private Movie Nights,” will allow patrons to rent a theatre for up to 20 guests to see a movie on the big screen — and indulge in their favourite movie time concessions.

Film options include new releases, holiday movies and classics, and the booking rates start at $125 per group.

This comes as the company recently reported a revenue drop of 85 per cent in Q3.

Cineplex which has 64 locations across Ontario, began reopening certain cinemas at limited capacities in late June amid COVID-19. However, several remain closed in the province’s high risk areas.

“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,” Ellis Jacob, president and chief executive of Cineplex, said.

“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.”
