Let the Kids Pick: Any Movie Is $5 at Cineplex This Weekend | September 5 & 6
Catch a cheap movie on the big screen to celebrate the first week of back to school in Edmonton.
Cineplex's $5 Weekend hits Edmonton theatres September 5 and 6, and it's the easiest excuse yet for a family movie outing. General admission tickets are $5 and small popcorns are $5, so the kids can pick whatever's playing without anyone doing math in their head at the box office.
A family of four can see a movie and share popcorn for around $25 before tax, in-theatre. That’s a steal of a weekend deal we can get behind.
Buying at the box office keeps it simplest. Online bookings add a fee of up to $1.50 per ticket, so skipping the app this time is the move if you're watching every dollar. Scene+ members get an extra 10% off on top of the $5 rate. If you’re a Scene+ member, that’s going to be your best bet to get the tickets you want - at the time you want to see the movies.
Want to go bigger? UltraAVX and VIP seating are both available for a surcharge over the $5 base price, if the family's been eyeing the recliners.
A portion of the weekend's proceeds goes to the Canadian Picture Pioneers, a charity supporting people who work in Canada's film industry — so it's a good deed alongside a good deal.
