Cineplex Family Favourites: $3.99 Movies in Edmonton

Looking for a cheap thing to do in Edmonton with kids on a Saturday morning? Cineplex Family Favourites puts kid-friendly movies on the big screen for just $3.99 a ticket (in-theatre price, plus tax) — recent hits and old classics your whole crew will actually recognize. It's about the cheapest way to get everyone out of the house and into air conditioning that Edmonton has going.

Showings run Saturday mornings, usually at 11 AM, at participating Cineplex theatres around the city. Big screen, comfy seats, no dishes to wash after. Grab tickets, grab popcorn, and let someone else do the entertaining for a couple of hours.

The $3.99 Movies On This August

Cineplex refreshes the Family Favourites lineup every month. Here's what's screening in August 2026:

  • Aug 1 — The Sheep Detectives

  • Aug 8 — Space Jam

  • Aug 15 — A Minecraft Movie

  • Aug 22 — Space Jam 2: A New Legacy

Tickets are $3.99 + tax when you buy at the box office. Buy online and prices shift a little: $3.99 for CineClub members (booking fee waived), $4.99 for Scene+ members, and $5.49 for everyone else, with the online fee capped at the first four tickets per order. Tickets for each film usually go live the Friday before, so if a Saturday screening's not showing up yet, check back closer to the date.

A Solid Rainy-Day (or Smoky-Day) Backup

This one earns its spot on the list when the weather turns. Too hot, too wet, or too smoky to be outside? A $3.99 movie is an easy, low-effort win — you're looking at under $20 for a family of four before snacks, which is hard to beat for a full morning out. It's also a low-stakes way to try the theatre with little ones: if someone melts down halfway through, you're not out much.

We love pointing families to Family Favourites for exactly those weekends when you need a plan, fast, and don't want to spend a fortune. The lineup leans nostalgic-meets-current, the price is unbeatable, and the whole thing wraps up before lunch.

Plan your visit: Cineplex Family Favourites, Saturday mornings (usually 11 AM) at participating Edmonton-area Cineplex theatres — Scotiabank Theatre Edmonton, Cineplex North Edmonton, South Edmonton Common, and Galaxy Sherwood Park often take part. Participating locations, showtimes, and films can change week to week, so confirm your theatre and grab tickets on the Cineplex Family Favourites page before you go.
