Attention all movie lovers! If you’ve been missing your nights at the cinema, then this is the news for you. Cineplex has revealed its Canadian reopening plan and we don’t know about you, but we’re counting the days until we can get into theatres.
The company is planning a gradual reopening and it’s reopening six Alberta locations on June 26.
This news is super exciting but let’s not forget about the safety measure that will be put into place. According to The Chronicle Journal, Cineplex will ensure physical distancing between moviegoers with reserved seating as well as staggered showtimes to control congestion in lobbies.
Don’t reside in Alberta and wondering when you can expect to enjoy a film in a theatre? According to a news release, Cineplex is hoping for an early July opening after being closed for three months.
“In all markets where Cineplex is permitted by government and health authorities, it plans to reopen as many of its locations as it can on July 3, 2020 (or as soon thereafter as permitted by law),” reads a release.

Known as the largest movie theatre chain in Canada, Cineplex has announced new plans to open a brand spankin’ new entertainment complex called Junxion.
This new complex would basically be the Canada’s Wonderland of of movie theatres, says BlogTO, and it’s expected to open in late 2020.
“Junxion is where Cineplex’s famous movie-going experience meets our innovative entertainment offerings. It will bring together the best of both worlds and provide guests with an unforgettable and unmatched social experience,” said Ellis Jacob, President and CEO, Cineplex. “As Canada’s entertainment landscape continues to evolve, we are proudly introducing this state-of-the-art community hub where families and friends can come together to play, dine, unwind and have fun.”
Visitors can expect to experience great live music, trivia and game nights, outdoor screenings of movies and live TV events, and much more.
In addition to all the fun, SCENE members can earn points with every Junxion visit and they can redeem these points for food, game credits, or as always, a trip to the movies.
The first Junxion will be 45,000 square feet and will be located at Mississauga’s Erin Mills Town Centre.
Junxion will feature 6 auditoriums, a food hall with an indoor food truck (!!), amusement gaming, virtual reality, a rooftop patio, and a bar offering wine and beer.

Despite ongoing challenges, Canadian shopping centers continue to spend billions on expansions and improvements, and have actually managed to outdo their American counterparts. While bigger malls continue to expand, many of the smaller ones are disappearing in front of our eyes. Another new mall trend is offering higher caliber food and beverages at more sophisticated restaurants and bars, instead of the old-school food courts. Elegance and high standards have become a new attraction. In addition, the washrooms are more aesthetically pleasing! Increased comfortable seating and free Wifi are the norm in most malls, along with improved parking solutions, concierges, and personal shoppers. The concept of the malls of the past has changed drastically. “While e-commerce has taken a bite out of brick-and-mortar retail, shopping centers are also taking advantage of technology to make parking easier and utilizing it through such things as touchscreen navigation panels, virtual fitting rooms, augmented reality areas and click-and-collect zones,” reported Property Biz Canada.
Movie theaters in malls are not attracting enough customers, so Cineplex started launching larger complexes that provide a large variety of games and activities. Two examples are Cineplex’s REC Room, which was just built last year, and Dave & Buster’s, which is a U.S.chain.
With the drastic changes at Yorkdale over the past 10 years, the mall has gone from grungy to extremely sophisticated. They’ve just announced a massive extension to add a boutique hotel, office spaces, and condos. According to Property Biz Canada, “There are plans to add residential towers to Yorkdale Shopping Centre and Bayview Village, and Vancouver’s Oakridge Centre will eventually see thousands of residents living in multiple towers directly above an overhauled and expanded shopping center podium.” This turnaround makes complete business sense, as big malls are usually located in prime locations, with transit and plentiful amenities nearby.
“Three of Canada’s busiest malls (CF Toronto Eaton Centre, Vancouver’s CF Pacific Centre and Ottawa’s CF Rideau Centre) are in downtown cores. None of the top 10 U.S. malls are downtown,” notes Property Biz Canada. They attribute the growing success of Canadian malls over U.S. malls to a variety of factors, including stronger urban cores in Canada, with investment priorities, transit availability, a large downtown population concentration and diversity of people compared to most cities south of our border.
In the future, the smaller or older locations are likely to suffer in the upcoming years. “The biggest cities and the best malls are going to succeed, but that’s not always going to be the case for all of Canada,” says Property Biz Canada. Now, we just have to wait to see what stores expand and which retailers we lose.
