Do you sell movie tickets directly?
No. Canada Cinemas is a guide, not a box office. When you click "Buy Tickets" on any of our pages, you are redirected to the cinema's own ticketing page (Cineplex, Landmark, Imagine, or independent) where you complete your purchase. We may earn a small affiliate commission on a completed booking.
How do I find showtimes near me?
Use our cinemas directory. Each chain page (Cineplex, Landmark, Imagine) lists major cities; clicking through takes you to the cinema's own showtime listings.
Can I redeem SCENE+ points through your site?
No. SCENE+ redemption must happen through the Cineplex website or app. We only link out to the partner sites.
Where's the cheapest place to see a movie in Canada?
Cheap Tuesday at Cineplex non-VIP locations is $5 in most cities. Landmark runs $6.99 Tuesday. Indie cinemas often have matinee or member pricing. Drive-in theatres (where still open) are usually the cheapest per-person option.
What's the difference between Cineplex UltraAVX and IMAX?
Cineplex UltraAVX is a premium Dolby Atmos auditorium with reserved recliner seating. IMAX is a larger-format presentation using dedicated IMAX projection. IMAX screens are physically bigger. UltraAVX is typically slightly cheaper. For dialogue-heavy films, UltraAVX is fine. For visual-spectacle films, IMAX (especially IMAX with Laser) is the gold standard.
How do I buy tickets for TIFF?
TIFF individual tickets go on sale to the public in late August each year. Members get priority access. Ticket packages (6-pack, 10-pack) save money if you plan to see multiple films. Full details on the TIFF website as the festival approaches.
Are your reviews sponsored?
No. We do not accept payment from studios, distributors, or PR firms in exchange for reviews. Affiliate partnerships are with cinema exhibitors (not content producers), and they do not influence review content.
Can I write for you?
Sometimes. We take occasional guest reviews. Reach out with a sample of your writing and a pitch.
I think there's a factual error in one of your reviews.
Email hello@canadacinemas.com with the URL and the correction. We take factual accuracy seriously. Corrections get acknowledged in the post.
Is Canada Cinemas affiliated with Cineplex Inc.?
No. We are an independent review and directory site. We have an affiliate partnership with Cineplex (and other exhibitors), but we are not owned by, operated by, or editorially controlled by any cinema chain. All reviews reflect the writer's own opinions.
