Cineplex is bringing back $5 movies in Toronto this weekend, Canada Reviews

Toronto moviegoers are in for a treat. Cineplex is turning back the clock a couple of decades this weekend so patrons can catch a film and have a small bag of popcorn.

The deal runs Saturday, Sept. 5, and Sunday, Sept. 6, across the country.

General admission tickets are $5 at the theatre, while tickets purchased online cost up to $6.50, plus tax, including an online booking fee of up to $1.50. Small bags of popcorn are also available for $5, plus tax.

The promotion applies to regular feature films, making it a chance to catch up on summer releases such as Spider-Man Brand New Day and The Odyssey, plan a movie marathon or take the entire family to the theatre without the usual ticket price.

Moviegoers looking for a premium experience can also upgrade to formats such as UltraAVX, IMAX, D-BOX, 4DX, ScreenX, RealD 3D and Cineplex’s VIP Cinemas for an additional fee.

A portion of proceeds from the weekend will be donated to the Canadian Picture Pioneers, a charitable organization that has supported members of Canada’s motion picture industry through financial assistance and educational programs since 1940.

Tickets for the $5 Weekend went on sale Sept. 2.
