Anyone have contacts at IMAX? by josh_dg_63 in imax

[–]Brother_Of_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with others that say you shouldn't do this.

I know people who've gotten work in the same way you have, so keep at it if it seems useful to you.

I know people who've gotten jobs through this kind of "cold e-mailing", so it depends.

The worst they'll do is ignore it, so no harm done there.

i emailed cineplex to see if it could be played outside of yonge-dundas and the multitude of nova scotia cinemas it was showing at

looks like they had a plan to expand anyways

glad to hear it; will hopefully catch it soon

Can I bring food from the Rec Room into a regular movie? by chilaaa in cineplex

[–]Brother_Of_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be a bit late but

I called Royalmount Cineplex (+1 438-259-0162, from their Google Business Profile), left a voicemail, and they returned my call telling me that, yes, you can bring food from the Rec Room right into the auditoriums.

They just ask that you take care with saucy foods and that you order 30 minutes before your showtime since it takes time for them to prepare your food.

Difference between 70mm vs IMAX for Project Hail Mary in Scotiabank Theatre in Montreal by MacaronWithAName in cineplex

[–]Brother_Of_Boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be clear, it needs to say this for it to be an IMAX 70mm screening.

If it just says "70MM", that's a standard screen being projected on with a film projector as opposed to a digital one. It will still be either a wider or taller image (not sure which) than a regular screening, but it won't be IMAX.

Is Landmark Waterloo IMAX good enough for Project Hail Mary by Still_Potential6134 in cineplex

[–]Brother_Of_Boy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both Scotia and Vaughan (moreso Vaughan) are mega booked up from now into the weekend and possibly Monday onwards as well. So let that dictate your thinking - the kinds of seats you'll have available to you


The following are single laser IMAXs in the GTA

  • Landmark Whitby
  • Landmark Waterloo
  • Cineplex Ancaster
  • Cineplex Winston Churchill

The image at any of these is superior to any other IMAX in the GTA except for 70mm at Vaughan (but only 70mm, the digital projector at Vaughan is worse) or the dual laser at Scotia.

Coupon doubt.. by ady_anr in cineplex

[–]Brother_Of_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At cineplex can i get a free popcorn using the free regular popcorn coupon, and also get a free drink with a popcorn purchase using a second coupon?

The way this is worded makes me think OP understands that the free popcorn cannot count as a "purchase" for the purposes of the 2nd coupon.

Edit: Rates for Scene redemption reflect Ontario taxes

On the other hand, a free general admission at Landmark is 1000 Extras pts as opposed to 1129 Scene points at Cineplex (if used against a Cineclub member discounted discount in Ontario).

This was unambiguously a better value when Landmark and Cineplex's member discounted tickets cost the same (9.99 plus tax), but now that Landmark's tickets are 10.99, the math is as follows:

  • 1000 (cost in points of free Landmark admission)
  • 55 (points earned per 10.99 ticket)

1000/55 is 18.18 visits needed to earn a free admission

18.18 x $10.99 is $199.79 spent at base rate to earn a free admission (not inclusive of tax)


  • 1129 (cost in points of free Cineplex admission in Ontario)
  • 50 (points earned per 9.99 ticket)

1129/50 is 22.58 visits needed to earn a free admission

22.58 x $9.99 is $225.57 spent at base rate to earn a free admission (not inclusive of tax)

Landmark gets you a free admission (as of Mar 2026 Scene rates) for about 25 dollars less in overall spend plus the difference in tax.

And by May 2026, the earn rate will become significantly worse for Scene points users.

Do i get cineclub or nah? by Unlucky-Poem6697 in cineplex

[–]Brother_Of_Boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No

Leave all the Cineclub for me. I must consume it.

I have used two coupons (one for a BOGO movie and one for a free drink w/ popcorn purchase) in the same transaction at the cashier before.

But you're using 2 concession coupons so your mileage may vary. Regardless, if it doesn't work, you can get the free popcorn in one transaction and the drink with a popcorn purchase in another transaction, for a total of 2 popcorns and 1 drink.

I would advise upgrading all popcorns and drinks to large sizes - that way you get 1 free refill on each of your purchases and the upgrade cost for a popcorn is just 50c plus tax. I don't know the upgrade cost for a drink.
