Canadian moviegoers have a compelling reason to brave the winter chill and head to the cinema, as Cineplex Inc. has officially announced the return of its beloved $5 Tuesdays promotion. This limited-time offer provides a wallet-friendly escape for six consecutive weeks.
Promotion Details and Dates
The winter savings event kicks off on January 20, 2026, and will run every Tuesday through to February 24, 2026. During this period, guests can purchase a general admission movie ticket for just $5, plus applicable taxes. To complete the classic cinema experience, a small bag of popcorn is also available for the same $5 price point.
This deal presents a significant discount, making an evening out more accessible. For example, a couple can enjoy a date night with tickets and popcorn for approximately $20 at the theatre. Similarly, a family of four can plan a group outing for around $40, with everyone getting their own snack.
How to Purchase and Important Notes
Tickets for $5 Tuesdays can be bought either directly at the theatre box office or online through Cineplex's website. It is important for customers to note that online purchases will include an additional booking fee. Online general admission tickets are priced up to $6.50 each (including a fee of up to $1.50), plus tax.
The company has clarified that the promotional rate does not apply to any tickets purchased before the announcement date of January 14, 2026. The six-week window gives audiences multiple opportunities to catch a recent blockbuster, discover an independent film, or finally see that award-nominated feature.
Enhanced Experiences and Loyalty Perks
For those looking to elevate their movie-going experience, the $5 Tuesday base ticket can be upgraded to premium formats like UltraAVX or VIP for an additional surcharge. This allows guests to enjoy superior sound, screen quality, or licensed dining options while still benefiting from the initial ticket savings.
Members of the Scene+ loyalty program can unlock even greater value. Their benefits include:
- An extra 10% off the already discounted Tuesday tickets.
- A reduced online booking fee of $1.00 (plus tax).
- The ability to earn Scene+ points on every purchase, which can later be redeemed for more movies, snacks, and drinks.
