cineplex odeon offers family favorites for the starlight foundation

Going to the movies with your kids is a blast!  What if you could go to them movies and catch a family flick for only $2.50 per person?  That’s great, right?

Starting February 18th, 2012,  a different family movie will be offered exclusively at participating Cineplex theatres each Saturday morning at 11 a.m. (local time). Family Favourites will be offered at a discounted admission price of $2.50 for all ages. A portion of all ticket sales will be donated to the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

“We wanted to create a regularly scheduled program that mom, dad and even the grandparents can enjoy with the kids,” said Pat Marshall, Vice President, Communications and Investor Relations, Cineplex Entertainment. “Families can share and celebrate the experience of taking a child to their first movie in a theatre or the return of a beloved movie back on the big screen with the selections that will be a part of our Family Favourites program.”

Tickets are only $2.50 and can be purchased at participating theatre box offices, online at www.cineplex.com/family or our mobile site m.cineplex.com.  Family Favourites will be presented year-round. The 2012 schedule includes:
