How Cineplex Family Favourites Works
First, select Cineplex theatres show a family movie each Saturday at 11 a.m. Then, tickets cost just $3.99 each, plus taxes.
Cineplex describes it simply on its event listing: “Watch a family favourite film every Saturday morning at 11:00 AM each week for just $3.99 per ticket.”
Cineplex Family Favourites Holiday Schedule
- November 7: Coyote vs. Acme
- November 21: The Polar Express
- November 28: A PAW Patrol Christmas and Arthur Christmas (French)
