Movie-lovers in Montreal will soon be able to enjoy a luxurious evening out, with the opening of the province's second VIP Cinemas – Cineplex Cinemas Forum and VIP presented by Scotiabank – on Friday, June 18, 2021. The highly anticipated VIP Cinemas experience is located on the lower level of the theatre with five auditoriums and will offer a fully licensed, memorable movie-going escape for adults 18 and over.
"Movie lovers on the South Shore have enjoyed the VIP Cinemas experience for the past 9 years at Cineplex Odeon Brossard Cinemas and VIP and we are now excited to bring it to residents on the island of Montreal. We recognize the demand and continue to introduce new and refined entertainment choices for movie-lovers across Quebec and all of Canada," said Daniel Séguin, Senior Vice-President, National Operations, Cineplex. "With the new appreciation for the theatre, Cineplex Cinemas Forum and VIP is the perfect place for guests to escape in a unique and luxurious setting, while enjoying the movie-going experience that we've all been missing for so long."
Exclusive to Cineplex, VIP Cinemas is an adults-only movie-going experience where guests can have their food and beverages delivered right to their luxury recliners. Guests can indulge in traditional concessions, including Cineplex's famous popcorn, or choose from an expanded food and beverage menu that features fresh salads and bowls, savoury burgers and wraps, boneless chicken wings, poutine and more, as well as delicious desserts and a wide selection of handcrafted cocktails, wines and premium craft beers. For even greater convenience, guests can order from the VIP menu on their phone using the Cineplex app. The VIP Cinemas also feature a licensed lounge, where guests can kick back and relax before and after their movie.
As part of VIP opening, Cineplex will be showing highly anticipated new releases including Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard now playing, and F9 opening June 25. Also playing are A Quiet Place Part II and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Tickets and showtimes are available at the theatre, Cineplex Mobile App and at Cineplex.com.
Movie-goers will be able to focus on the magic of the big screen with VenueSafeTM, a set of protocols and procedures that Cineplex follows each and every day to keep employees and guests safe, in accordance with provincial guidelines. Committed to our guests' safe escape, these protocols include reserved seating, enhanced cleaning, and safety signage throughout the facility. The venue will also open with reduced capacity to ensure proper physical distancing protocols are in place.
